I really like the composition on these. The post processing is a bit 80's for my taste. I always think babies have such amazing skin its a shame to hide it behind sofening - purely personal taste though so feel free to completely ignore me

Edit - Actually having a good look at the baby pic, its not overly softened, is the focus point just to the left?, its a great shot and what a smile!

Well I am a child of the 80s :)

Jennie had quite ruddy cheeks in the original, so I used the black and white to get rid of the blotches. The focus is actually missed in the shot which is annoying as I do love her expression :)
 
playing with some heavy hdr on the sunset over oxfordshire:

nice, i like the way the clouds take you into the mid point. are you using PS? if so a bit of lens correction may be needed, the lighthouse has a good lean on it
 
I had a quick play with lens correction in cs5 but it's an hdr which, being a tif, seems to strip some of the exif data out once it's processed. The result is that the lens correction filter in cs5 gets somewhat confused and won't allow me to search online for a correction profile for the 24-70L. All my attempts at manual correction looked tripe!

Any tips on correction techniques? The horizon looks pretty flat but you're right, the corners would seem to bend in a bit. I think it's a combination of the 24-70's slight barrel distortion combined with the problems you'll get with perspective with a straight building at the edge of the frame on a 24mm shot.

It would have been slightly wider, but this numpty left his camera bag in shot on the right bank - grr sometimes ultra wide is too wide :)

I'll be honest, if PS wont go down the auto route i dont really know. I too am rubbish at doing it manually!
 
Andy90 - I think that is a nice shot, but would have really benefitted from a ND grad on the top, to stop the light burning in. Have you tried one in processing to see if it makes a difference?

I'll have a bit of a play with it, though graphic packages aren't really my strong point.
 
Taken on way home from work yesterday., fed up some what.
GF1+20mm


HDR shot(7 frames -2 to +2) with gentle tweaking.

Here's the same shot taken from 3 years ago on a crisp February afternoon with my D80
