Thanks guys, i cant wait to post the good copys up on here for everyone to look at!
Noice.
Is that some 'pin' style effect or just a mega wide angle?
Colours are hyper-melt down but cool. Photoshoppe?
I'm curious as to whether anyone bothers with polarising filters anymore if it's just easier to apply in PS these days?
@ Funky, all you have to do is turn up the saturation and mess with the other effects these days... In my honest opinion I think to many people are over-saturating photo's. I see tons of photos in magazines wrecked by over-saturation (among other things).
Nice photos by the way Colesy, I like how you got the sun in the frame, often hard to do.
Ta Rowdy. I really must get with the program.
Have 58mm UV and PL lenses from old analogue days but there's no going back if you use a PL compared to editing it later filter I guess.
Know what you mean about hyper colours. Kinda like above though all the same. Ditto on the sunsets.
Just got a Lumix waterproof and in it's standard setting is definately a bit hyper. I spose it's what the buyers want. Also picked up a Fuji superzoom and that is understated (natural) in colours so that after the Lumix the Fujimama appears unimpressive.
EDIT:
Colesy - was it tricky photoshopping out the grogun the guy on the slider let go? 
Couldn't have chosen an uglier subject
You should see some of his other photos... non kiting ones too - he's artistic as...
wooooo colsy finally your getting the cred, hows the shredded kite going btw? working again
getfunky
yer mate all i used was a 10-22mm wide angle lense, i do my editing in adobe lightroom 3 and a tad in photoshop elements 7
as for filters, yer well it really comes down to what you want out of the photo really, i dont use fillters for sports and kitesurfing, only for landscape shots, mainly a gnd fillter and a nd8,
ass soon as i sort my laptop out ill upload the good copys which are heaps better qulity.
kiting kid - hahah yer it made for a good rain coat lol
and cheers rowdy!
