are ISO settings a nonsense on digital?
The *ist-D was excellent, and I pushed it to its limit and have consistently got quality results from it (several have asked if the prints were from medium format). The K10D is much better, a complete joy to use (fast, intuitive etc) and is only lacking one or two very minor things - it's nearly my ...

are ISO settings a nonsense on digital?
Did I say I liked Silkypix??? :P Matt you may have mentioned it once or twice ;) just a quick mention for Noiseninja. I used to use Neatimage under Windows, but there is no Linux version so when I made the switch I had to look for another option. Noiseninja does not have a fully functional...

Scare - K10D broke... but its better now...
I was out shooting this morning when the jog dials stopped working on my K10D just as the sun was coming up. Had to come home early. ARGH! Of course once home, I recalled some very odd behavior with other cameras in the past that were solved by removing the battery (I'm not eve sure they were P...

Image processing strategy - still confused
I'm still struggling to find the "right" image processing method. I should point out I'm not what you would class as an "enthusiast". I take maybe 20-30 pictures a month with my ist DS, which I've had for about 18 months. I tend to process the images every few months, usually whe...

More fun with the 10-17 [2 imgs]
Thanks for your comments. Yes, No. 2 is quite confusing but I like it because of that. Guess it comes back to the Marmite effect with fish-eyes. In No. 1 I think the fish-eye effect does make the bowsprit look much longer than it is, not sure it would work the same way with a rectilinear lens. B...

New pictures
Is it just me or does anyone else think theres a bit too much rain on the rose, IMHO I think it distracts too much from the flower? also the nearest petals are slightly out of focus. Sorry to burst your bubble Peter, but I would have prefered either all of the flower in focus or a bit more "...

There is something wrong with this picture
Clue No. 1 ( You might need to look at the full size image ) What parts of the latch are in focus ?

There is something wrong with this picture
The eye of the hook is in focus, but so also is part of the right hand wall some way beyond the hook. It is as though the plane of focus is highly convex. G

There is something wrong with this picture
Almost there George. It's actually 2 pictures One had the hook end in focus, and the other had the eye end in focus. I used a 105mm Sigma wide open at f2.8, shallow depth of field, so had to combine 2 pictures to get both ends of the latch sharp. You can see the middle of the latch loose...

Semi macro shot for critique
On the USM, I usually use a radius of 0.5 for the original size, radius 0.4 for the smaller ones. Threshold usually 2 or 3, around 100 %. If you have a lot of detail in a pic I copy the background, apply the USM to that layer and copy this layer anew. One of the layers I set to layer mode "lig...

Some more studio shots
My only comments are that the first two are looking off away from the camera. They both look disinterested or forced. The last is better and my favorite of the three, but still like she is looking past the camera at something more interesting going on behind. Also, the left (her right) eye is ou...

Black and White photos - critique please
Hi John, I did do that with the lasso tool, but there is very little if any detail left in the white clouds. Methinks I'll have to go back and hope for a day not quite so bright or use an ND grad filter. I did actually have one with me, but I was too lazy to attach it!!

Can any one explain.....
a little chromatic aberation (ca)is normal with digital. you'll notice it in high contrast areas of your images. ie green leaves against an overexposed sky....or in your case, bright overexposed highlight against a dark pupil. different colors of light have different wavelengths and will bend throu...

B&W Again again
really nice! and I agree about the autofocus 1.4, i am also tempted, and portraits are one of my main interests so i guess its when rather than if. I'm using an M series 1.4 at present, and its great but the auto focus would be nice! quite low noise for iso800 too, how did you process it?

B&W Again again
Hi Lilly, Thanks for that! I took this with the manual focus 50mm f/1.7 lens, which I think tends to go for around £40-£50 on ebay. Haven't checked that, could be wrong. :? I'm definitely tempted by the autofocus f/1.4 version, that SRS Microsystems have at £165 new. Various other places d...

B&W Again again
Dan, I have been doing a bit of research, as now I think I am coming around to thinking I may push the boat out a bit more and buy the 50mm F/1.4 AF after reading the following review on the downside of manual focus: http://www.pricegrabber.com/rating_getprodrev.php/product_id=3258467/id_type=mas...
