Hi guys, woke up to whiteness this morning. Obivously got my camera out immediately .
Got some cool images, I think, but some are spoiled by: the amount of time I had, where I was (either bedroom window or guest room window), and the available light.
I shot in RAW and did some touchups in RawShooter essentials, which I really like, by the way.

Let me know what you think, but I didn't take them for photographic prowess, I just HAD to capture the snow, in ENGLAND!!!!







Thanks guys!

I love the purple colour on the first one Jack but the orange light on the right is over-powering it. I have just stried a crop to see what you think. I have taken out the right hand side, focused on the lovely tree and also cloned out the lights in the building bottom left as they were drawing the eye away too. It's just a quick pimp to see what you think but I feel it holds the focus much better on what is the real picture.

On another subject, I had a look at your album and there are some nice shots there for sure. But Jack, you are asking to have your hard work nicked and used by some unscrupulous image user because you have put full-sized high resolution shots up. Some of them are close to 2Mbs each which means anyone could simply nick it and use it as it is already of a printable resolution.

When i publish on websites I always publish a low res version only so that it looks good on screen but is not much use to anyone for printing out unless they want a very small picture! Your album takes forever to open the pictures because of their size and people will lose interest and move on if they have to wait. I would recommend you change the pictures you have on there for low-res copies (72dpi) so that the website opens quickly, people will still see them in the same quality as they do now and your pictures will be relatively safe from being used without your consent.

Cheers,
Rob

I like that crop, but I did like the wider angle of the original. Nice focusing. I was going to try and pretend that the light was the sun, but then realised there was a dirty great estate behind it
about images: Am doing that right now. When I set it up, I only had a Panasonic FZ7, and didn't know much about copyright and resizing, so I'll do it now. Thanks for the kind words about the gallery as well
