How many keepers do you get, on average?
If you have the space to keep all those RAW images it is fine. I have a notebook, all be it with 2 100GB hard disks but the space fills up fast. I've got a 300GB back up drive but always like a total of 3 copies of my data (one on each internal disk and one on the external, which I share with my OH)...

How many keepers do you get, on average?
Thank you, George, that makes better sense. Just goes to show what a difference a couple of letters can make, especially when coupled with a very long day.... Ah well , back to my sense of stupor now. :roll:

I think i posted a while back a light tent made from a cheap laundry hamper, but you could also try getting to the hardware store and grabbing a white plastic shower curtian, and some white pvc pipe and some "T" and "L" fittings and construct your own......any large sheet of pape...

I took the pic below using just a sheet of white card laying flat on the table at one end and then curving up to a box at the back (giving me an 'infinity curve') and then bouncing flash off the ceiling. I was pleased with the result and it was no trouble to set up. Dan

One picture, dual weather.
I took this picture in York a week or two back and like how it is clear on one side and 'stormy' on the other. I darkened one side to exaggerate this but I'm not too sure I'm happy with the result. I like the idea but I think I need to put a little more time into it. It is not perfect but so...

One picture, dual weather.
It is a little flat, especially on the dark side but haing looked at your quick attempt, that has far too much contrast. Looking at it on screen or printing it to view would be quite nasty as the dark parts are very dark and the saturation is though the roof! Still has a little way to go, I'll go...

Tonight's moon
I have two 300mm lenses and the sharpest image I could get after more than 50 attempts (with various apertures and shutter speeds) was the one below. Well yours looks a lot better with a bit of levels and sharpening. I don't think it sucks as much as you think. The sharpening doesn't of course...

Tonight's moon
I took a few shots of the moon the other day, i noticed that there was a lot of noise on all of them. more obvious if I increased the exposure setting in LightRoom. taken at f:32, 1/2 second exposure, i wanted the leaves and the moon in focus. Here is one with no tweaking. here is...

Screen resolution
If i am not mistaken you can Check an option in your display properties to allow it to fit the window other wise it crops it back to fit. I could be wrong but i cant access the display properties on my work computer to check.

Nothing much wrong with those Nimitz, you used a large aperture and ended up with a shallow depth of field but you seem to have kept the point of focus where it should be, on the creatures heads, the cloudy sky has actually helped here, especially on the first shot as you have managed to get the exp...

If you change the aperture in Av mode then the camera will compensate the difference in light with a change in the shutterspeed. A lower F-number will result in a higher shutterspeed. For difficult conditions it might be better to play with manual mode as well or just use the exposure compensat...

just coming back to second Golf's comments. deciding when to use what aperture or shutter speed all comes down to what your snapping, if you want to isolate something from the background you shoot wide if you want everything pin sharp then you shoot as high as you can, but you still have to bear in...

Ditto Peter's comment ;) The SMC-FA 80-320 is a great lens (when you can find one!) Others have used some of the better Sigma lenses (i.e. the EX series) but they're big and expensive. Have heard good things about the Sigma EX 100-300 f/4. Others have rated the Tokina AT-X 80-400, and the Tokin...

I hate Elements! But have manged to work it (Pics)
I've had no real problems compiling panoramas from up to 14 images at full resolution, one ended up at 18307 x 2895. That sort of resolution soon gobbles up RAM though, so I tend to add a couple of layers, save and close, reopen and add a few more, close, reopen etc. You lose the ability to step...

Alien Bug
Found this guy on the side of the house it was just a hollow shell and looked like something out of Aliens. It even looks like its ribs are coming out of the hole in its back. :P

Alien Bug
Don't know what beetle but they might be fungal filaments coming out of it's back. I'm getting a strong sense of Deja Vu, has something like this been done before?

Prieni: My daughter also thinks your shot is very cool (as do I) - I've just taken something similar while testing a Cosina macro lens that has just arrived and I can appreciate the effort it will have taken to get the background just right (the one I did just shows the kitchen tiles behind the tap ...
