I reckon if we do Hebden and Heptonstall we will bag the definitive wet cobbles shot and (if it isn't pissing down) maybe get in to Hardcastle Craggs.
Andy - we plan to leave Rochdale at 10am (as you will attest TL needs his beauty sleep). Would you be around at about luchtime for a brew and somewhere to dry out?
Cheers

why don't you ask the person who took it..?
It doesn't look that processed to me - which bit of it do you like most? Is it the contrast? It's a high key shot but the shadows have been kept dark, so probably the contrast has been brought up very high.

Realised I've had a bit of a dry bout recently wrt photos so took a few pics this week. A lot of dross but ended up with a few I quite like:

Cat - yes, I could do that, but probably wouldn't understand the response (if I got one).
Cesare - I suppose it's the contrast - I also like the way it shimmers, and the hint of blue. The highlights are blown, but it doesn't look the same as if I just grabbed the 'contrast' slider and yanked to to the far right IYSWIM.
Joe - ahh, curving, yes - I've heard about it, but have just an old version of elements, it's not something I can play with.
Andy - nice photos, esp. the standpipe/elevator.

Dan,
Looking at the shot a little more closely, it looks as though a bit of diffuse glow has also been applied. I did something similar in the pic below, but then oversaturated the colours to create a different look.
Joe
P.S. Nice shot, guy. Reminds me of my student days.

Why not post a link to a pic you like and tell us why? I'd appreciate more discussion of what people like/dislike in photos posted here & elsewhere - with an emphasis on positive criticism. Also, I recall you were going to start posting some of your pics once you had figured out how to host them - any progress on that front?

I am of the school of relativism as far as anything is concerned. I like something or I do not: it is always easier to say why I do not like something - not that an explanation is really required - rather than so say why I like what I do.
You, nor anyone else, should not take any of my comments as a reflection on your taste, you should like what you like.
I have decided not to post any of my pictures because, firstly, the vast majority are personal to me and/or my family or of friends, are not, therefore, of rusted metal, brick walls, peeling paint, dusty chairs, electricity cables, and, secondly, I would not want to suggest by posting that I claim any artistic merit nor seek approving feedback, and thirdly, I refuse to give them “titles”, pretentious, obvious, or otherwise which seems de rigueur on this an other fora
