[Andre Jute]

Grat photos! And more than a "tinge" jealous - Why don't mine turn out like that?

Simeon has the magic, for sure. I love the bare tree.

It does takes me several hours playing with the photos in photo editor on computer before posting the photos on the website.
The photo editor software I use is Serif Photo plus x7 http://www.serif.com/photoplus/ where resize the photos and make few simple abjustments to improve the image and then use several photo plugins from Topaz labs http://www.topazlabs.com and Filter Forge https://www.filterforge.com/ to make the photo into bit of artwork.

Most photos can be improve by clicking the auto level and clarity abjustments in the photo editor but you do need good eye to take good photo in the first place.

The camera currently using is a Samsung WB200F.

...but you do need good eye to take good photo in the first place.

That's my point. Like most skills, photography has two parts: talent and practice. No matter how successful you are at producing pleasing images, you'll get better with careful practice. Modern digital photography can be virtually completely created on a computer or in a camera. The key is knowing what works, what you're trying to achieve, how to get there and then applying patience and perseverance in equal measure.

You seem to have got it right, and you obviously enjoy it. Well done!

Love the shadows on the bridge, Simeon!  Nice bit of minimalism & contrast -- only once a year or so, though, I'd guess?

John I took the photo of the Pennine Bridleway bridge mid afternoon but I think you get shadows on the bridge from late afternoon on wards until the sun sets at this time of the year.
