Its an awful feeling, ours has done it twice. First time found her in an empty house for sale down the road, she must have sneaked it when the door was open when the vendors visited, and got locked in! Very very lucky I noticed her in the window. Second time she was stuck up a tree after a...

I voted over an hour, because if I'm doing a portrait, I can spend hours on the skin. Some pictures though just need a quick 2 minutes to fix levels/curves. Depends on the subject of the picture. Personally I find photoshopping as much if not more fun than the actual taking of the picture.

Thank you. Exif is Shutter priority, 1/250 sec, f/4, ISO 400. Taken with a Sony A100, Sigma 70-300 APO DG. Then lots and lots and lots of dodge and burn, the original wasn't great, but it was taken specifically for me to try and do this in photoshop. I have a before and after comparison if you...

The one that gets the most comments above all of my other shots!

No, it is never easy! Im so sorry! When I lost my dog recently, I was speaking to someone about why they don't live as long as us, and its not fair, they said "Think of how hard it is to loose them after 10 years, then think how hard it would be to loose them after 70 years" And a poem that...

This site has a good section for the basics http://psd.tutsplus.com/tag/basix/ and then some more complicated stuff too. Their tutorials are very well written and illustrated. If you have the time to search around the web for tutorials, you don't really need to spend that £44.

Have entered a pic of my dobie! Lost her in May to cancer, love that pic in your avatar Christine. Have come across the Kerioak name a few times whilst looking for pups!

If I understand you right, you like the look of the green channel, and would like your image to look exactly like the it? If so, thats easy to do. Go to the green channel, press ctrl +a to select it, press ctrl+c to cpoy it, then click back on your RGB channel to bring it back to colour. Then...

Now THAT is gorgeous! In the colour version the pink reflection on her chin was really drawing my eye away from hers. The sepia one however has no distractions, her eyes are really captivating in that one. Nicely done.

I put my water buckets on an old fashioned wooden sledge that I dug out of the loft, you know the ones with the metal rails? Dragged them across the yard, easy peasy, although they occasionally built up so much speed they slid right past me and into a wall lol

Yes I think there may be some hoarding going on, has been for the past few years. Nobody seems to have any small bales until after christmas, then all of a sudden there is loads as everyone seems to clear out their barns! And yes I soak my hay, hes laminitic also so every little helps! Was...

We are paying £4 - £5 a bale at the moment here in Manchester. Have previously been getting rebaled stuff from last years round bales at £3.50, but very dusty and poor quality. Horse now diagnosed with COPD so dusty hay is a no no!

My favourite, just meant a lot to me when I read it: "What's in the way... IS the way!"
