Hi gdavidson,
Excellent Shots. Is it the real shots Or you have modified in the Adobe photoshop.
Thank you Salaam! Indeed, avoiding the usual overcast gloom we get is a bit tricky. However, sometimes even bad weather has its moments!
Thank you too Micheljonshon!
I photograph in camera RAW format and "develop" in the images in Nikon's Capture NX software. I don't use Photoshop to edit the image, rather I use it to run scripts to resize and sharpen the images to the intended output size (sledgehammer to crack a nut!)
The most image processing I do in Capture NX is to bring out lost shadow detail and to restore colour balance. I do try to avoid blowing highlights and often underexpose to compensate, bringing up the dark areas in Capture NX. Think of it like a very subtle and genuine looking HDR process that represents better the way the human eye/mind sees a scene. I will use gradient filters on the lens from time to time if the sky is overpowering.
It's taken me a huge amount of time, trial and error to learn how the camera sees and the way it differs from human perception!
The Northwater Bridges are obviously very photogenic.
Running out of superlatives here.
Saludos,
Bob.

Nostalgic picture Clive - it is a shame to see these graceful machines fade into history.
It is I was a footplate fireman from 1956 to 1963 at Bury Lancashire 26D
Great photos Graeme! Nice contrast & great color!
Clive, I imagine you'll have very fond memories of those times... I envy you!
Thank you Bill! I have good light and weather to thank for many of my photos :)
I hope this winter brings some nice colours and skies.
