I struggled with the poor light and at times quite steady rain and mist, but here ya are oldguy......

Keep checking back, I'll keep adding as I process them. I have a new program and it's not very intuitive.... (I'm a slow learner....

)

Nice pics !, looks a tough day for photography though

.

As an aside, have you tried googles picassa, I used it before I went mac & really liked it, fast easy & you can tweak most of the stuff you want to.

I'm trying to come to grips with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. Talk about using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut... But I'll get there.....

Thanks for the nice comments guys, but it's a bit disappointing how much clarity and detail is lost when I upload to forums, the originals are so much clearer..... Notice the green 'clmintiepix', it's gone fuzzy after uploading.....

Canon EOS 400/430ex flash and 70 to 200 f4 lens (pretty white one....)

yeah the pics still look pretty good though. Depends on peoples moniters how they come out too and at least you've got em uploading at a decent size.

Light room's a bit of a trip aye. I haven't figured it out yet but love the batch edit/presets. the vignettes are cool too. (although not much use for your dirt pics) did you buy it? how much $s? i'm using the freebie i got from mininova. Thing is, you still need photoshop which is a bit of a pain and quite different to use
