You dabbled with a certain program lately, Martin?

Very nice martin. I bought a carmera and hope I can ever get this good. My shots show the flash. I think I need to read up on things.

Martin how do you do it. I have a Nikon Coolpix 7600 is it capable of taking shots like this? If I practice? Those are very good

Jerry, these are taken with a 3.2 Mp Canon A70.....nothing fancy.

It's all about practice and experimentation. Most pictures I take are done on almost the same settings. They work for me. I crop and edit the pics before posting, so they are enhanced, but funnily enough the first two had very little work and the colours are straight out of the camera. I never "tweaked" them at all.

The first of today's has bubbles and their track marks in the picture. Most of the others did too, but I cloned out the streaks with background colour.

Martin.

Lovely, lovely pics again Mr T. :D The colours on those tails are just gorgeous.

Jerry - your photos really aren't that bad, so stop putting yourself down! It just takes a bit of practice to find the settings that work best for you. And don't forget, most of us here delete a lot more photos than we keep! :lol:

Superb!! :)

Digital Deletion of pictures is normally around 90%. The 10% are the keepers in my case. Keep on "clicking" :wink:
