Sorry to hear Pete.
I lost a friend early this year as well, never good news.
I recall the one portrait you posted of Colin last year ,the one where he is wearing a hat and it still remains one of the most striking portraits I have seen.
Hi Cav.
I used a plugin I installed in Lightroom 4.
It's called Realistic HDR.
What it essentially does is that it completely brings down highlights and lifts all shadows as well as a bit of smoothing.
I click that and the image is normally quite over or under exposed being it a day or night shot.
I then tweak the exposure and play with the clarity as well as the highlights and shadows in the tone curve.
Dog walking pic from this morning - exploring frozen waterfalls up Deepdale/Link Cove and back via Hartsop above How. Big Lad in his winter woolies enjoyed the trip through the deeper snow.
