I shall send prayers to gods of sunshine and blue skies especially for you. Birds are never obliging. September has been nice weather the last couple of years so hopefully you won't bring that Yorkshire misery north with you hehe. Where are you headed?

I ain't buying another camera lol. I'll just have to get a better view of the ospreys now that I know how to spot them. That pic was shot at 300mm. To the eye it was a dot in the distance. With decent light, I might actually get a nice shot.

Define is pretty good it has a before processing and finishing after processing modes, I only ran the pre mode because it wasn't really a viable image to start with, just a bit of fun! Not sure you would see much more benefit in that image if I had run the post processing mode. If you haven't already downloaded the NIK suit I suggest you do before Google pull it. They have stopped support already. I love the filters, many are very useful. I know you CAN get the same effects within Lightroom and Photoshop but I find the hot spot selection magic, so selective and controllable with no messing about masking. It will be a sad day if Google pull the NIK suit without letting somebody else have it or releasing it to public licence.

I've got the Nik stuff but have only used Color fx and Silver FX so far. Which program has the hot spot thingy in it?

Doing East Coast initially as we've never done that side ...would like to see Dolphins at Chanonry Point if you can schew them down there, please. Then off up North and North West of Altnaharra ....depending on weather. We've done a lot of the West Coast over the years but it MAY still draw us back when we start to return to Yorkshire. Many years ago we went to look at the Ospreys at Loch Garten. We parked a ways down the road and enjoyed sightings of SlavonianGrebes on Loch Morlich before trekking off through the wartleberry looking for Capercailiie. After an hour of wandering, which included almost treading on a female Capercaillie hiding in undergrowth which then exploded into the trees (that's when we saw several sat in trees watching us...didn't expect big bird like that up there!) we somehow managed to arrive at the back of the reserve with everyone watching us. A bit embarrassing ...but got some good views of the Ospreys.

Then off up North and North West of Altnaharra ....depending on weather. We've done a lot of the West Coast over the years but it MAY still draw us back when we start to return to Yorkshire. Which parts of the east coast? You'll have to pay our magnificent new bridge over the Forth a visit. It's opening next week. The three bridges together look fab. From there, it's an easy 20 mile hop inland to Falkirk to see the Kelpies. Culross is well worth visiting. http://scotlandwelcomesyou.com/culross-village/ Drive past Dundee, keep driving, do not pass go, do not collect £200. lol that's your get out of jail free card. There's feck all in Aberdeen either of touristy interest but I imagine you're heading inland well before then to get on the A9. As for dolphins...well, I see them pretty regularly from my living room window...brag, brag.. The photo was shot on my cheapo Fuji at 1000mm hence the fuzziness. Loads of boats to take you on dolphin watching trips all along the coast though to get close to them. If you're very lucky you might see some Orcas. My mum came running to get my attention a couple of months ago as she spotted 2 swimming across the bay. Where was I? In the bloody shower, that's where I was.

Brilliant capture ...very envious of the view from your window!! Not sure exactly where we are going...my events secretary is handling that. I just want a change of scenery and something to test the Fuji. I will however heed your warning note... and avoid showering while around the estuary. We saw the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel a couple of years ago...very impressive. This time it's more ...just a wander in the wilderness nature holiday. Don't worry...got my Gortex gear ready.

Hi Judith, pretty well all of the Efex Pro 4 filters have it, if applicable. This a pic of my trusty car, after its soaking at Ribblehead. I applied a detail extractor filter to the black vent and the black rubber strip on the front bumper, the second image shows what the affected areas were by adjusting the size and intensity of the control point. The control point in the puddle is negative because the effect spilt over into the puddle, so that can be canceled out with a negative control point. In the second screen shot the dark areas are unaffected by the filter, the white areas are affected by that filter. The image in Colour Efex Pro Detail extractor filter.  The image in the mode where you can see the effect of the control points. there is limited effect in similar shades and textures. That can be cancelled by placing minus control points. It really is good and very controllable, almost magic. No actual masking at all. I could for example prevent it affecting the black headlamp surround by putting a negative control point in the brightest part of the affected area.
