The meeting was a lot of fun. The weather was very good, the food was good, the discussions were good.

The scenery and the ride was a lot of fun.

Thanks to the participants and of course the 480 Club Europe Crew :D

Very good photos Daniel, would you be able to tell me what is the technique used for the last shot? I like that style - the same as if the photo had been printed and was a few years old.

Thanks & regards,
James

Hello James,


i use Photoscape, a free software

http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php

Give the pictures a 50% HDR touch, more depth and a filter you like, then you can create your own dreampicture.

There are better softwares, but they cost money :D

But your photo still has to be good to make something nice.

Nice program, more user friendly then most. Bust should have filter previews.
What's the 50% HDR touch?

Thanks Daniel! I think what I was talking about above was the film effect filter. My two 480's have never looked better!
