P.S. That photo was taken on her 6th birthday in the kitchen. I Photoshoped out the background, it wasn't set up and was just a random shot as she was opening her presents!

It's above Art's Lough near Lugnaquilla. You can see the start of Lugnaquilla to the left with the snow. To the right and over the edge is Fraughan Rock Glen. A fantastic area I have to say with very few hillwalkers.

I concur - fantastic shot!!

Thanks... it was one of those really lucky shots where I was putting the camera back in the boot about 8pm after a walk near Ballycotton and I just glanced over at the beach to see a fox sitting looking at me. It trotted around the beach and rocks for 4 or 5 minutes but was always stopping to check I wasn't moving!

Guys can I ask a question about my shot #679

How would I have gotten light into the reflection in the eagles eye? I'm using Lightroom!

Try using the radial filter (or brush) and zoom in 100 %
Increase the exposure, whites and highlights slightly and reduce the contrast a little. Use subtle increases and right click on the radial button and duplicate it a couple of times and look at the changes.

What version of LR are you using?

Thanks
I'm using 5.7
I brought the whites and blacks as far as they could go without getting burnout.

200 MPH Motorbikes at 1/25th of a sec. Sure fire way to fill a camera with blurry pictures of hedges and and sky

Were you tracking them by hand? Some knack that.

Aye I was indeed, but at that speed its pure pot luck of getting a shot. It was handy that it was a straight stretch, with at least a few second of vision of the bikes as they flew past. Obstacles like people, hedges and signs made it hard to track, but worth it for the odd photo that came out alright. I do a lot of Motorsport photography, and while with rallying its all about nailing a single shot in an instant, I've played around track side at drift events to really push my tracking skills.My own logic is that I pick out a particular part on a moving object, oddly with cars its the drivers door mirror that I aim for, and just try and keep that at the same point in the viewfinder as I move with its direction. GReat if it works out, but you come home with a serious amount of blurry pics when you push it into the 1/25 down to 1/10 ranges

Note: How can I reduce the size of it on 500px? Mine is 900px long and against the rules. Alternatively, can we edit the img tag to include size attributes?

Problem is you're using 500px. Other hosts allow you to specify a size, eg imgur:




A single extra character sets the size.

Didn't think of imgur actually! Was trying to use flickr but yahoo made an absolute mess of the account system and now I can't use mine anymore arse to them.

Come to think of it, I actually had to google how to delete my yahoo account. :rolleyes:

ED E

Careful with Yahoo. If you have any other sites that were registered through them and you delete your account, somebody else can re-use your username and then gain access through password resets. Laughing stock of the infosec community.

was the sky really like that when the photo was taken? the lighting conditions look a little incongruous.

Please ignore image #904. I posted the wrong version ([EMAIL="cr@p"]cr@p[/EMAIL] edit). I will re-post the correct version when I get a chance to re-edit.
