Hey there Snobbers.

Been taking a bunch of photos lately and trying my hand at a bit of basic editing, I think they're looking pretty fine, but thats my amateur mind talking, so I thought I would flaunt them to the world of the Proper photographers who actually know what they are doing.
Any CC would be immensely appreciated. In fact, any tips or ideas in general would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Will do. Any recommendations of where to buy? I'll need a 55mm.



No editing software as of yet. Just what Photobucket offer. I played around with the saturation on both a little. Is this too much???

That's why I can wait to get my new computer and get CS4 or similar. Like your work. Thanks for the advise. Can I ask out of a 2x or 4x Neutral Density Filter, which one would be better for these types of shots to use longer exposure. Obviously 4x will give the option of longer exposure than the 2x but for your more common shots, would the 2x be money better spent?

I'd go the 3 stop (ND8) also but if you can get something higher, go for it. I think B+W make a 9-stop ND filter which enables 1-2min exposures in broad daylight *drools*.

You might even want to look at getting something like a drop-in filter set, much like the Cokin P-series. Additional filters are pretty cheap off the likes of eBay etc.

Singlespeeding - Love the second one, can you tell me how long the exposure was? The fourth is great too, the only blemishes are the corner of the table and the mark on the wall in the background. Otherwise, nice work.

Tupper - absolutely astounding. I dream of getting shots like this.
