just came back from holiday
another thing I have learned, I desperatly need a set of ND and ND grad filters... When the sky is nice and blue then it isn't all that hard to get a good exposure on both the sky and the landscape but when there is overcast it gets very difficult if not impossible without a ND grad filter. So t...

just came back from holiday
when there is overcast it gets very difficult if not impossible without a ND grad filter. Agree - I have just been away (Yorkshire Dales & Lake District) and the ND grads I have just got hold of were very useful as the sky was often overcast. Took quite a few shots of each view all th same tryin...

Couple of images from Sunday
Is it my imagination, or in the second one is the dress between her hands quite sharp, but her face closer to the camera and consequently a bit out of focus?

Gorgeous model, did you get her telephone number :D I like the pose on picture 1, the highlights are a little distracting in the eye, which could have been solved by moving the main light further away, but that would have spoilt the lovely lighting effect on her skin and hair. a hint of gold re...

Great pose for the second shot, I don't think it's out of focus, just a little bit overmanipulated.... I see now you're clearly right. It doesn't take much to expose my complete lack of experience with studio work :)

I have sooo many to choose from that were taken with the K10D. But here are three: The Upholsterer's Cat http://www.ephotozine.com/photo/469573 Unfortunately the cat's nose is fractionally out of focus, but the detail in the chair is incredible. Taken with an AF540+brolley and AF360 trigger....

Spyder 2 Express help
I just got a spyder 2 Express and calibrated my monitor. it has darkened the darker tones (relative to my calibrated by eye profile) so that there is a fair bit of loss of shadow detail, including on pictures that I didnt process (so its not just that my pics were processed to look good on my ear...

Spyder 2 Express help
Make sure the monitor has been on for at least 1 hour and that the monitors on-screen display (and the mose pointer) are well outside of the calibration area. Then try running the software again and make sure you adjust the contrast and brightness EXACTLY as it says. (Tricky with express but eas...

Spyder 2 Express help
Alos make sure you have the curtains drawn and the lights off and that the 3 points of the spyder are all touching the screen. On mine I have to tilt the screen back a little so that it rests flat. You should always calibrate in the lighting that you are using for work. And your lighting should b...

Online Gallery
I'm surprised Opera doesn't work, don't use it because I got used to Firefox when you still had to pay for Opera. I use Opera on my PDA/Phone and it all displays correctly (it isn't quite the same thing though). Thanks for taking the time to look. I really need to get out and about more as I've n...

Forbidden Fruit - A bite of the Apple
I've been a bit quiet recently, because (a) busy and (b) I've been playing with my new toy, a MacBook. I gave in to the siren voices around here! I'll mainly use it when traveling, and so will still do most of my PS work on the PC at home. It's first test comes this weekend with the Maryport ...

CAPTURE ONE LE - SanDisk Freebie
I've been using Capture One Pro since I got into RAW way back when. I frequently try to switch to other converters (I own PS CS3 and Lightroom). I love it for its sharpening, for its noise reduction, and for the ability to use the JFI profiles (e.g. TriX simulation). It's also very fast indeed at...

Discussion Weekly Competition #5 - Self Portrait
The back of my head with hair swinging as I run into position but don't quite make it... My chin because the stand in I used was too short... Nothing because I tripped over... If the images are not comical, the stories behind them will be :lol:

Discussion Weekly Competition #5 - Self Portrait
Just seen your entry, I'd be extremely happy (no...over the moon would be a better description) If that was one of my posed studio shots :lol: :shock: I didn't think it was particularly good, hair was messier than I'd have liked and I had all sorts of problems, especially with lighting. Tried...
