That's awful. I doubt the investigation will produce any results.
Is "Take the biscuit" an expression there? Here, we would say, "Takes the cake."
Means the same jerry, the UK version.
Doubt they will find anything either. There wont be much left of the drone if they ever find it. Needle in a haystack.
Saw this on the BBC news yesterday. I've read "for" and "against" arguments on here about the use of drones but this must take the biscuit for irresponsibility.

Nice work Brent, love the effect. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Hi Joyce,
Welcome to the UHH forum. Lots of knowledge, good advice and information given here.
Enjoy,

About the best I could do. Hard to come up with ideas.

I've posted an edited version of this elsewhere and it was suggested that there was unexplored potential in it. I was pretty much out of ideas to take it forward so I've put it up for editing to see what ideas others come up with for it.
I'll post a link to a DNG version under the JPG.

Here's my effort R.G.
Started out in Lightroom, but I am having an issue with the brush tool trying to paint out the mask in the gradient tool, so I had to send it to Photoshop to work on the sky and finish off.
Played about with split toning to get the general effect, with a bit local dodging and burning. Tried Viveza 2 (Nic Collection) to finish it off and liked the effect but when I made the image small the wrong bits stood out, so I reduced the opacity of the layer to about 25%.
I've always found that reducing the size of image (as if it is far away) gives you a better idea of what the finished image will look like. I've found many issues with my work by doing this that are not as obvious when working full size.
By the way, I also like the effect that Linda From Maine produced - nice work Linda.

Used the DNG link R.G. Plenty to play with there. All in photoshop.
Thanks for your post.

It's a good from me.
I used to use photoshop and swore by ACR.
When I subscribed to Adobe CC and got Lightroom as well I decided that as I'm paying for it, I might as well give it a go. After using ACR it did not take me long to get into Lightroom and it is now my preferred editing program.
The only issue I had was when I upgraded to Windows 10 and a member here told me to turn off my graphics card - problem solved but this had nothing to do with Adobe.

Happy memories, I hope. I'm just back from a stay in Skye where we used to go for the occasional holiday when I was younger. My grandfather's house is still standing and in use, but I'm not sure who by (I think it might be a daughter of the oldest son who would have inherited it, croft and all).
Wonderful memories R.G. My cousin had a boat not unlike the one the one in your shot. We would set a drift net then check and re-bait the lobster pots before pulling the drift back in.
Happy times but it could get a bit choppy in The Minch in such a small boat. The people of the Hebrides are so friendly and I'm pleased to hear you have connections there yourself.
Here's my go R.G.
My surname is MacKinnon and my father came from a croft in Tong, just outside of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.
Spent a lot of time there over the years visiting family but sadly none are left now. A lot of nostalgia here for me.
Thanks for your post.
Here's my go Shakey,
Started in Lightroom to straighten and make universal adjustments much like Jim-pops, then into photoshop for local adjustments with masks.
Removed noise and sharpened using the shop signs as a guide as I did not know the texture of the walls.
Thanks again for the exercise - keep them coming :thumbup: :thumbup:
Brilliant, I can picture it. :lol: :lol:

I watch YouTube on this subject & an cannot understand what settings to use even when they go into detail. I am thinking of getting one with TTL for my Nikon. Do I just put it on Auto or others ways? Basic shooting.
Try the Strobist website. A good place to start.

Excellent work Jim-Pops. All your work and efforts have been rewarded.
Stunning when viewed in download.
Well done :thumbup: :thumbup:
