Here are some photos I took this weekend at an Aikido testing at our dojo. Sakamoto Sensei Throw Takedown
Was at the Great North Steam Fair the other weekend and only got the decent photos mangled recently. All taken at Beamish Museum in Co. Durham (my favourite stomping ground) with Nikon D3100, various touching in Lightroom 4.

Originally seen on: http://bpp3.deviantart.com/#/d4xomme My mind demanded to experiment with Curves, this is what it spitted out. A bit to much graininess for my tastes, but I don't think I can reduce it anymore without subtracting from the detail.
1) No, I wish. 2) No, Canon Rebel Xsi here. 3) Occasionally, though I usually tend not to due to the dirty glares I get.
Here are some pics from my last adventure. This was in the desert around Red Rock Canyon, outside of Las Vegas.
Thanks These were all taken with a Nikon D90, 18-105mm VR lens, and a Hoya polariser. I used the bracketing feature of my camera to take three different exposures, then blended them together in post-processing.
