Official Team Black Thread - Ur Fav/Best Picture

Not that I'm aware of, at least not without making it look crap.

I rarely have much time for post-shooting editing so try to get the elements as right as possible the first time sound. Note I used the word 'try'!

Getting the framing, exposure, positioning and timing (including time of day to account for colour, angle and intensity of the sun) ahead of time means I get more usable photos.

thanks mate, and the reflections were bugging me quite a bit as well.. Is there any post editing techniques you can do to minimize reflections?

Have you messed around with HDR/AE bracketing? It would be great for that second photo (IMO). Would bring out the greens and highlight the mid and low tones, In post processing software you would easily be able to get rid of the glare from the sky. The whole HDR process takes abit to get used to but once you have done it once or twice it is very simple.

Thats a nice location/pic Dean, i dare say if you went back to the same spot and used a polariser, you'd be able to minimise some of the reflection from the bonnet and windscreen.
The Sky itself looks fine, as you won't see much detail in the sky shooting since you're in a shaded location..
