Went down to the beach early this morning and got some pix of the Gig Boat practice.

Interesting to see that they row backwards to get into position. Always something new to see or find out.

Also took some shots of the dinghies getting ready. There was a query on Morguefile about shadows being too dark on pictures.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 to lighten shadows.

As it is now obsolescent you can get discs on Ebay for just over £2. If you go a little higher you can also get manuals with them.

 To lighten the intrusive shadows on the rocky background I selected Quick Fix and gave it a 1/4 move in lighten shadows. This has also brought out a little detail in the fence post top as well.
