Indeed and i have done it my self.

Nice lens, is it the IS or none IS model?

This is not actually correct LR has PhotoPro has it's native colour space. Also when printing from LR you have to assign a colour profile, unless you are letting the printer manage the colour space output and then you have no control over it as the printer will use it's own colour management. By the way there is no printer or monitor that can show the full gamut of colours that the PhotoPro colour space has, and monitors that can show the full gamut of even Adobe RGB cost in the thousands. So what you see is not what you get even when soft proofing, all soft proofing does is show roughtly colours that your printer is capable of or you can use softproofing correctly to show out of gamut colours that will not print correctly so you can adjust them so they are in gamut and will print correctly. Where as printing as srgb pretty well guarantees what you see is what you get if you have a correctly calibrated monitor. Now I am not saying one is better than another but if you are going to go into the world of large colour spaces then be prepared for more work and lots of test prints unless you are letting the printer colour manage it then it will convert it to the lowest common denominator that it can handle (most likely srgb than Adobe rgb unless a expensive printer) what ever the colour space. Off course you should capture in the biggest colour space possible as you can always output at a smaller colour space and still have leeway for future developments in printing and monitors.

We as photographers tend to be very critical but the simple fact remains a brilliant photographer with poor marketing skills will go bust and a mediocre photographer with good marketing skills will thrive no matter what we think and the ones that have both will rise to the very top of their profession. With the mass influx of so called pro photographs since digital made it easier for anyone picking up a camera take a picture, then today marketing skills are more important than how good you are in the field of wedding photography sad to say.

B&W for me Brian and yes better with the shadow out.

Hi and welcome, as a newcomer here I cant tell you it's a very friendly place.

In my camera brand I have the choice of black or silver personally I prefer silver it reflects the heat better than black.

Richard a separate layer would have allowed you to have positioned the subject coming partially out of the frame in a true out of bounds effect.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. Can't change my name to Fuji as I'm a Olympus guy.

Great news and well done.

Thanks folks, indeed it is south of Doncaster fuzzyedges, it is in the West Midlands.
