This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Just got back from Blackdown Tabletops National Park... Wow what a place, I cannot recomend a visit to this place highly enough just beautiful and the perfect place to try out my new lens which i only picked up last thursday... (Canon 50mm Prime f1.8  )
To say i'm happy with this little lens is an understatment... it only came off my camera for approx 2 mins to shoot a young fat healthy Kookaburra with my 70-300mm (I'll post these later) but I have a lot to learn about using this fast lenses... I kinda way overexposed a lot of the shots...
I have over 400 pics to wade through but thought i'd put these up to start with... they have only been framed and resized - no other PP performed...
I'm not sure which one I like better - the fast shutter capturing the crisp flames or the slower (not by much) bluring the flames... I await your opinions...
Cheers
Bretski

Both shots are nice, but I like the second one better.

The second one is a much nicer shot - i really like the way the ambers have blurred. I personally find it very hard to get a good "flame" photo, and have tried a number of times with no results I am happy with.
Oh yes - and that lens - 'aint it great?

I also shoot with a 350D and was tossing up between the f1.8 or the f1.4, but with shots like the ones above... I might just save the extra dosh
The flames in the second are alot nicer. Cheers,

Both fantastic images Bretski. The frames, however, do nothing for them.

#2 is more pleasing to my eye. Agree with manta on the frames though - simple 1px border would have done for me.
