Hi all,

I have been AWOL for a while. A few reasons but mostly due to the fact that my D70's shutter locked up mid February...........and took almost 7 weeks to be repaired. It is hard to visit here when one is without camera! Finally got it back last week.

Anyway a couple from the big surf last weekend and one of my neice who is a gymnist (she's the little one at the top).

Glad to be back.

Welcome back Ghost - some great captures there. Can you share your technique with the last shot? - Good work!

Last one is great stock

Care to share your isolation technique?

good work on the last one.

interested in the details also.

How do they get down from that pose?

Thanks plp. The image was deep etched in photoshop via a path, with a 1 pixel feather. Then any rough edges and crud etc were touched up with the clone tool.

Geoff, I'll get back to you about the dismount. I had my head stuck in the back of the camera (on the LCD) after the shot & missed it.

Here's the work in progress...........as you can see the background was so bad it just had to go!
