Those are really nice pictures- i love seeing the reflections in the water drops. <br /><br />Regarding the manipulated photo on my blog that you commented on (thanks by the way!), I use a software called Dynamic photo hdr- it is easy to use if you follow the instructions. It cost me $58 to buy the full version but you can download a trial version for free and just have a go. <br /><br />http://www.mediachance.com/hdri/index.html<br /><br />It is good fun to use. I haven't used it properly yet (where you take multiple exposures) i just change a single jpeg file. Very easy!<br /><br />Search 'hdr' on google or even better, flickr and you will see good stuff.<br /><br />Bye :)bemused26https://www.blogger.com/profile/03288651410815126420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-5457790577347892362009-11-07T15:04:15.370-05:002009-11-07T15:04:15.370-05:00oh beautiful pictures -the berries just look so pe...oh beautiful pictures -the berries just look so perfect and pretty.<br />vickieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
