hello,

firstly im a newbie onsite so id like to introduce myself



ive only got into photography again, in the last few months when i bought a Canon 500D (my first dslr) and ive gone on to buy a cheapish tripod and some long term investments in Lee filters. Just bought a sigma 10-20 which i cant wait to try out when it arrives.

i have entered a pic in the hotshot catagory of a picture i think has merit "Swing Seat by Night". I cropped out the remains of the hotel on the right hand side of the picture and just used ps cs4 to sharpen and lighten some areas of the rapids.

i didnt use any filters other than a polarisor, should i have used anything else? compositionly, could i have done any better? any other comments suggestions most welcome.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy it.
You're photo doesn't appear here. I'm guessing something went wrong. It can be tricky to work out how to upload photos.
