Hi Matt,

I like No 1 and No 3.
No 1 is cool, I like that there is a person walking past, it adds life to the basalt or granite pool (fountain).
No 3 could be a painting of a bird or so ... (I leaves to imagine ...)

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Matt,

I like them all. How the hell did you get a shot of the Darling Harbour water thingy without any rugrats in sight? Shame about the truck in the background. I wonder what it would like in B/W? And the Claypot shot is very well done - I like the vibrant colours and the grainy, textured feel of the shot.

Matt - my wife is complaining. The pot is not QUITE in the MIDDLE!

I love it by the way, really nice

You're right about that Frank, this is the same place, before I got the D70.

Really like the first but I think I'm getting dizzy...

Got rid of the rugrats easy..."HEY! KIDS! SANTA CLAUSE IS OVER THERE GIVING AWAY FREE LOLLIES AND MOBILE PHONES!"

Probably the best SET of shots I've seen from you. Each and every one is a winner and I can't possible pick the best or fault them in any way.

[Matt. K]

Thank you Peter! I'm flattered!

Hi Matt,

love your gallery on PBASE

I notice your pictures are all the same size with a border round the picture.

Would you mind me asking you how you do that?
Do you do it manually or do you use a action in PS,

Thanks

matt, i really liked 2 and 3. I reckon they would look awesome printed on canvas and blown up to A0

Great work as always Matt. Love the old rubbish skip in particular, the colours are fantastic. You have an excellent eye for a shot, no question.

I made up a little action...as follows. Select/Select all...this selects the entire image...Edit/stroke/16px in black....this puts the black line around the edge of the image....Image/Canavas size/change both units to "%" (where it says cm etc) and type in 110% for each. This adds a 10% white canvas arount the image....Then back to cavas size and add 1cm to the hight and click on the little square at top center. This puts extra canvas at the bottom of the image making room for title etc. Then stop recording the action.

Superb shots as always Matt. I particularly like 1 and 3; 1 makes me dizzy but the person in it works well, stabilises it for me!
