    I’m kinda surprised you put this one in sports Rob-
    it was a bad evening for sailing,
    no wind, and the race was abandoned-
    It no more looks like sports than my one, taken a couple of seconds earlier, according to the exif-

    Not sure about the processing either,
    it looks a little heavy handed to me-

    Ken Rockwell, that funny American who reviews equipment sometimes,
    always goes on about vignetting on lenses not being a problem,
    unless you take pictures of blank walls-

    Well, maybe for him its not a problem,
    but if you take pictures out on the bay,
    its the photographic equivalent of a blank wall-
    and adding contrast to one of my pictures will usually give me all the vignetting I need-

    Anyway, beside the point-

    here’s mine from a couple of seconds earlier-
    and just a quickie, not been near photoshop, straight out of Aperture, where it was processed more heavily than usual-
    Looks like it could use more contrast against the white here-

    Cheers Joseph.

    Sports? You’re probably right about that; it was a poor day
    for sailing and not many of the boats took this much of a lean
    away from the tiny breath of wind.
    The processing is just a result of my faffing about too much, trying
    to pull some detail out of the bland sky behind, the vignetting an
    afterthought – I thought afterwards it improved it. Then again…

    Rob.
