    I went out to see Riley's Five's on today's Cath Ex to Bristol.

    I also decided to venture further afield as well, given that West Drayton is a building site, and I'm fed up with Iver, So I decided to venture to Taplow and see what it was like. ;)

    I'm quite pleased with the results, as the Five's were absolutely flying - I reckon they were doing a bit more than 60....., the sun was shining in the right place - just, and the clag was climbing! :)

    Hope you enjoy.

    Flying Fives........

    I hate to say it DD but there's some seriously blown highlights in the exhausts there.

    Never said that but those big white, burnt out areas in the exhaust have come from somewhere. Do you shoot RAW?

    You know I shoot RAW! :rolleyes:

    I also use an ND Grad........ ;) and them there white bits are where the Sun is actually catching the exhaust....... :eek:

    So RAW + ND Grad means no loss of highlights! :);)

    Certainly not my taste in how to process an image, but each to their own.

    I'm not sure that graduated filter adds anything to your photography, the colours are quite extreme and vivid. Was the sky really that shade of blue? What do your photographs looks like without the filter? I don't mean from today but previously.
