Geronimo....

At the start of the week he wouldn't even let go of us in the shallow end but after a few days he was happily jumping into the deep end on his own with a cry of "Geronimo"

Technical bit. The shots were taken in manual mode to ensure even exposaure between frames. I had prefocussed and switched to manual focus to avoid any hunting between shots. I was in high speed burst mode which on my 40D means 6 frames per second.

The composite was ll put together in Lightroom's print module and exported to jpeg instead of printing.

The Wonder of FLICKR


...and now textured

It's amazing where Flickr can take you... I'd commented on some textured shots from http://www.flickr.com/people/augcott/ and she replied with some comments about the textures and how good they were as they were free.... I checked them out and they were excellent. They're from "skeletall mess" (strange name) on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/

So I had a play with one of my most recet uploads, a shot of Ben winning his race int he Cubs Swimming gala (we're now the district champions) and this is the end result of applying 3 textures at varying opacities and blending modes. I like the effect.
