Singing in the rain

Originally posted by kasaba: Lovely picture Roz, congratulations. Have you tried making rain by using a layer of "noise" and giving it a motion blur? The direction of the drops is then constant (your brush doesn't seem to always be in the same direction?), and the drops are more random. But you then have to play with layers and blur some of them, else it looks fake :-)

thankyou so much Gaby .. I will definately look into that xx

A Leap of Faith

and 'some' say its not about the equipment ...
just seeing the difference between your new years resolution and this extended free study .. makes it so obvious that you were hindered in your ability to capture the shots you visualized by the equipment you were using ..
having said that .
some ppl have the most amazing equipment but still take photos that arent that good ..
but if you have a talent .. which you obviously have .. it can be a wonderful experience to get a camera that performs to your creativity .. its like a whole new world opens up ..
thats what happened for me when i got my first macro lens ...
i'm so glad i happened to see your thread its all about the camera and the lens ..
