Just have to say, about time. Your photos, paticularly your HDR ones are really good. Well done.

Are you actually a professional photgrapher or do you just do it as a hobby?

Good job buddy

Hes very talented but its not something you cant aim to achieve. If you have a passion for making it and you enjoy it. Go for it. I wish Pete the best of luck.

I'm in the same boat myself but a lot further back progression wise.

I picked up the magazine in the newsagents the other day after reading this, and it's very nicely done, some great shots and a great tutorial on hdr, with loads of your shots used - wehey, go you!

Now I for one am very happy with the result! Great guide, definitely worthy of its place in the mag!

Thank you!!!

Just to be a picky git, you're site has a 404 on the candid section. I thought I'd have a nose at the type of photography I like, and typically you've only got one shot and it's not there! *whine*

Go take more candids then. I find them very interesting, along with the photo journalism sections on other photography forums. They have a nice real world feel about them(bit of a well duh comment I suppose). I like the well captured grim reality of those shots

Well the original was 3 RAW files... I'll process the normal exposure RAW it the normal way if you like to get more of a comparison.

Yeah I really want to. I do have to be in the right frame of mind though or I just get scared. Takes some warming up to get comfy with people.
