I love the last one (very blair witch) and the one of the skateboard - shame the feet weren't a bit more in focus!!

Cool!

Looking good.

It might be worth conveting a few more of theose to black and white... Like this one.

Beacuase the orignal is slightly blurred. B&W is more forgiving and usualy transforms the pic! I been trying to do it but can't fine where on fireworks. Anyone got paint shop?


You got a tripod at all or a mini one?

I put it into b&w and added a bit of contrast to bring out the shore on the mountains a bit.

thanks! your comments are much appreciated. im one of those dorks who totes his camera everywhere, so its nice to improve a bit through suggestions.
i have iphoto (mac) and contrast and black and white conversions are easy to do... i can also invert it.
i use a fujifilm camera, its big like a film camera, and it has the tripod hole thing on the bottom but i dont have one. i usually have to try a few times to get a steady shot..
where do you guys usually go to take pictures?

I often do alot of long exposure pics and a tripod reall helps avoid all the bluring and can get thoese really suttle night colours.

nice....like the style phil. have you tried taking down the intensity on the sun in the middle one? well, I guess it boils down to what your focal point is, just my opinion.

Phil, my compliments - I love those pics.

I'm not great at taking the pictures, but I'm getting pretty good with photoshop CS2 - it's the b*ll*x!!

I'll download some of these pics and see what I can come up with!
