No banding evident in the sky glow either.

This is nice too, with the last wave having receded from the beach face and the guy walking on it.

I'm guessing this is the more natural light/toning. It doesn't have Miss Pink strutting her stuff but the kite's a nice addition.

ROFL. Mishka obviously couldn't care less - boy has she got you lot well trained. A look of triumph and disdain in your picture!

Very impressive improvisation given SD "loss". Was your phone mounted to your tripod or just braced on a wall/fence/railing? A pity you weren't in a position to get a shot of the rig as well The image has come up really well as a composite hasn't it? And has your signature with the "ghost train" and the reflections off it - were all frames IR?

Love the intense dusk glow imparted to the ground surface and that semi-desert character will always draw me in.

Here's another attempt, this time at full size over at flickr: https://flic.kr/p/27Do9FV

Boy was Gimp choking and chugging at this size with the stuff I was doing. It was a real test of patience. Not sure the more careful edit was any better result to the casual observer but live and learn.

Where's the lIKE button?

First - splendido image even if not processed to your ultimate preference.
Second - another thank you - this time for the side by side comparison re. pixel shift. It's very minor to my eyes, and the value varies in different parts of the frame but I reckon the PS version is marginally "better". It required a lot of switching between the two to convince me, but my interest in using PS has been lifted a bit.

If only we'd happened upon this while there were actors around! Did see a couple adverts around and they are much more elaborately costumed than what we did in HS...
