@tomdinning, this sounds like just the sort of thing to occupy my OCD side for a few weeks at a time! I do have a panoramic head coming so this may actually be something I seriously try…

We’re taking the stress off of the day by having “The 7 Days Of Xmas” (trademark pending). The seven of us, 5 here and the mother-in-law and the brother-in-law, all have a thing we want to do with everyone […]

@tomdinning and @redman thanks guys. For a $450 camera/kit lens cranked open to its widest (18mm), I think it’s pretty damn good! I’m quite surprised at the level of detail on my 27″ iMac, there’s no noise […]

@Alison, I look forward to your pictures, I’ve always loved the emotion a library could conjure within me and that was intensified when I discovered Candida Hofers book of photographed libraries from all over the […]

These two leapt immediately to mind, but now that I take a real good look at this picture of them… I don’t know why…

Looking good @admin! To me there is nothing better than stepping out into the yard for your vegetables and fruit rather than heading to the fridge. Gets busy when fruit trees are ready to be harvested though. We […]

@tomdinning, wise words if ever I did hear them! Thanks. I think we have a winner… I’ll invest in better glass, replacing the body later on.

@tomdinning you know what? I reckon you should give this online guidance thing a shot. You could offer a unique service assisting people with one shot at a time for a fee. Otherwise get your online courses […]

Okay @tomdinning here is my first attempt playing with masks, dodging and burning of two exposures. Am I getting there?

Howdy @tomdinning, coming to the decision of these two cameras is based on my budget. I can get either of these camera bodies for just under a grand with 4 year warranties if I buy online. They both have basically […]

@carolannphotos I had wondered what camera and lens combo you used for your club shots! I have held both camera bodies in a shop and enjoyed the fit of the 7D. Thanks for your response.

@tomdinning I owe you one! Actually, probably more… I get that about the layers and masking perfectly! That’s a huge hint or nudge for a beginner! Thank you again for your generosity.

@tomdinning thanks for throwing some pearls of wisdom my/our way in how to approach a place like this favouring the shadows. For my purpose, I need to incorporate the skylight exactly as I’ve photographed it so […]

Geeze, I’ll get there eventually… I’m leaving it at this for now. I don’t know much about photoshop and it’s just becoming more and more frustrating to try and colour balance something, when you don’t know […]

Any better Tom? Or has it now gone too greeny?

Thanks for the feedback @tomdinning, I wasn’t sure how to go with this piece. I have a romanticised awe of this place, as I spent a hell of a lot of time here studying in a cocoon of warmth during my year twelve […]

We don’t stake our zucchinis, they are tough and prickly buggers. Hopefully yours made it through.
You can do that with all of the onion family. We let ours all go to seed, collect it and use it the next year.
