Excellent capture, Rebecca lady. Caught just at the right moment as the snow ball was falling apart. Jimmy There you are taking a picture of your grandson throwing snow, and I was outside today in my shrit sleeves and took a picture of my granddaughter playing in her sand box.

Great Job on this. I wonder who is having more fun, the photografer or the boy throwing the snow. Thanks for responding to my photo. You have a lot of good stuff in your portfolio.

hi rebecca thanks for all the wonderful comments, he is very handsome it drives me crazy..this is a nice shot but because it is a little blown in parts I think BW may of worked better...here is something I wrote to someone today who aske dme how do I do it..I hope it helps regards roger
Hi Tobiah, all my pics go through PS were I usually do this, I check the levels or curves of each pic a few tweaks can make or break a pic. I nearly always do this which is one of the best things I know of and hardly anyone uses it. I do not do any edge sharpening unless it is through lab mode which is rarely. This is the technique you will have to play with the settings it will work great with your 18-55 lens. Go to PS and then the unsharp mask and do this it is called contrast sharpening Radius 30-50 Percentage 10-30 threshold 0... for most of my pics I do 25 % 35 Radius. Always work on a separate layer and keep your original incase you screw up. Play with putting one layer on top of another and use the soft light filter ,overlay and sometime multiply use the opacity slide, learn about layer masks. All this sounds a lot but I can tweak a pic in few mins. Of course the idea is get it right in the camera first but easier said than done I am getting better at it. PS is the modern darkroom it is a must for digital pics. Here are some vital links... That pic you liked was already a good shot I think I put a sepia layer on the top of it in overlay mode and brought it down to 30% http://www.seittipaja.fi/data/Photography_lessons/Processing/Lesson_1/_Levels.html

I have learnt everything through these guys and taking lots of shots and playing around. I will look at what I call a good pic from some of the masters and try and go out and take one like that just for the practice...let me know how you go...take care roger
