Hi Sarge,
With regard to number 21 the answer is "No" the mining companies do.

And just for a laugh - I bought a new calander the other day but I think it's days are numbered.

Welcome to UHH. I am also new and enjoying it a lot, hope you do too.

Thanks for posting that. I've been thinking of buying Photomatix for sometime now. You have just convinced me.

PS corrected the typo's

Hi Dave,
I love it. One of the best pics I've seen in the short (very short) time I've been on HH

That is a really nice photo. Did you apply HDR because the range is very good.

I used the "quick selection" tooland varied the size of the tool close to the edge with the pic enlarged to almost pixelate (not quite) and then applied the blur with a plug in called "Alien Skin Bokeh". Magic for this kind of stuff.

I tried to submitt a second effort with the foreground not blurred so the boy was standing on ground. For some reason that one did not upload. I am new to HH and am having a bit of trouble working out the proceedures - put it down to being 71 and a dope. My original pic that I supplied along with my iontrocuction has never appeared on the site either althought I get emails so I did something wrong.

Any way this is not about me. Hope you look into "Alien Skin software - it's from the US and very good.

I think perhaps a blurred backgroung is better than no backgroung unless of course you have a background you wish to put it on.

Here's my effort, done at 11:30pm so may be a bit rough. My 71 year ols eyes are failing.
