Although I have posted only a few, representative, sky shots in the evolving post for Exercise 1.7 I have actually now taken about 60 pictures and so it is time to start editing them and narrowing down to a final set for submission.

Reviewing the body of images that has developed there are a number that a are unusable because tree branches have got in the way. On one of the last days that I worked on this it was quite windy and it was only when I came to look at what I had taken that it became evident that the tops of a couple of trees in my garden – a pair of birches in particular which are quite tall – had whipped about in the wind and got into the frame. I have simply excluded these. Those that remain are the ones that can potentially be used, albeit a few might need some cropping and a bit of other tidying up – there is a passing bird in one that would need removing (if anything it is amazing that there is just the one!) – and some dust spots. Somewhat annoyingly there are some dust specks on the lens I used for this project that clearly need a bit of vigorous cleaning and once I have made the final choice I will have to do some spot healing in Photoshop.

Here are the remaining potentials. Next job is to edit and sequence them.
