Thanks John!

You would be right Paul, they can look bad but it all depends on what you want from your shots and how you process them, Photomatix can make them overly done!!  I like #2 as well.

Good point Paul,
                   I would buy a few photography mags every month when I can afford it. There are very good articles which I have learnt from recently! one being HDR, I'm still learning but here are some of my attempts.











                   

Thanks Paul! Yes WOW indeed, I just pointed the camera and took 3 shots before it was gone. Never seen anything like it before, all taken at Ballycastle.

Went away for a few days with the wife and got a few shots before all the bad weather rolled in...





















Will thats my attempt at taking pictures, thought i'd share with you. 

Need help! Was in Ballycastle and noticed this before storm clouds rolled in.









Any advice would be much appreciated 

Fantastic shots Declan!!

Fantastic shot Paul!
Which software do you use for stitching?

Thanks Martin & John for your comments.

Martin thanks for advise on how to post image without link, fixed pano shot of Mournes that I posted on photography section.

 

Hi Paul,
          It's multi shots stitched together by CS3.

Panorama shot of the Mournes & Countryside from Glebe Hill just outside Tandragee.



 

Really good shots there Martin, really like them...

Noticed a Sun Halo between the clouds yesterday.





Ps How do I post an image without the link showing?

Great captures Martin!   

Fantastic image John! I really like observing & taking images of the Moon.
