An amusing ocurrance and admission...
The wife is a long time Canon user and is thinking of upgrading her camera to a newer one, so as we were near our local Jessops she decided to pop in to have a hands-on feel of the new EOS 40D and the outgoing 30D to compare them versus her existing 350D. Now we all know that Jessops are mostly j...

Truncated files?
You could probably extract the jpeg image from the file if it's displaying in Explorer, so at least you'd have a full size version of it. Can't remember what software can do this, but I'm sure someone here will. I had a whole folder of images corrupted on my flashtrax before, couldn't get the PE...

Truncated files?
I had formatted the card so couldn't retrieve the original file. That's not quite true... ;) It's only when you've overwritten the card with new images that you can't get it back. A format only "hides" that the files were there - it doesn't remove the file data itself. There are a few f...

Discussion: Weekly Competition 13 "The Industrial Landscape"
Passed the Grangemouth refinery at 06:30 this morning, the sky was red looking toward Edinburgh and the lights on the towers were bright against the dark parts of the sky, I was tempted to back home for my camera, unfortunately I would have missed my meeting, :cry: I've planned to get some phot...

Colour banding shooting into the sun
There are two factors: 1) If you shot JPG, or you process like this into JPG from RAW, then the blue channel is pathetic in JPG :P It'll posterise like mad when you're dealing with a blue-only subject. (It's one huge advantage to shooting RAW ;)) 2) CCD clipping, as mentioned above. If you sho...

Colour banding shooting into the sun
Silkypix can deal with the situation - if you ETTR and use the exposure compensation to bring the main part of the image back in line, the dynamic range adjustment can tweak how the resultant clips are handled (but it can't recover what's been lost at the capture stage). Do you happen to know if S...

Colour banding shooting into the sun
Chris if you have any sucess with fixing your shot can you post the results here and explain the procedure Thanks Ok, Chris kindly emailed the original PEF. The shot was overexposed for the sky - so the banding is down to that. Tyr's suggestion of bracketing shots is fine - assuming you have a tr...

TFT display recomendations
Not sure I buy into the idea of 19" TFT's - it's a bit of a no-mans-land in terms of size since you typically stick with the 1280x1024 resolution of the 17". I have both sizes on my desk at work and I really don't find any significant advantage from the 19". I replaced my 19" ...

TFT display recomendations
I use a Philips 190CW which is a "bit-better-than-budget-but-not-exactly-high-end" 19" widescreen. I love it to be honest! All my TV's over the years have been from Philips and I like the look (just like I like the look of Pentax glass). There are undoubtably better models on the mar...

TFT display recomendations
Widescreens look very nice, but I don't want to lose on size in the vertical plane so I would probably need a 21" or 22" display. The downside is that just about all the 22" displays use TN panels which are terrible at colour reproduction (6 bit with dithering). For some reason more ...

TFT display recomendations
Just wanted to throw my monitor into the mix. I'm at the PC at home all day with work (been using monitors with computers for over 22 years now) and keep needing more room. This is the best monitor I've ever used and got it on the recommendation from Trusted Reviews: http://www.trustedreviews.com/d...

Discussion: Weekly Competition 14 "Motion"
Sadly, the subject is not one I have anything in the back catalogue for... unless I have some blinding flash of inspiration between now and Sunday which is unlikely since I'm painting the studio (not on an easel - 2 coats of emulsion!) However, there are some great pictures up there and one in parti...

Gwyn Thanks for the encouragement. I picked out a photo, then found I had to load it up off-site. Don't think I'll manage it this week, but I'll be back! David

tip for aperture/lightroom users...
This feature is built into Capture One. You can switch to straight B&W with a single keypress. I found it helpful - definitely. I'd switch to B&W and adjust, then back to colour and do a final tweak. (Very useful to "filter out" all the colour info and visualise an image) Silkyp...

I'm gonna focus on number four..... your snooted light is aimed in such a way that you have hard directional light spilling onto her face, bringing out every flaw in the skin....careful aiming of this light will seperate your subject from the background, and highlight the hair....the spill should...

Chris, I went through this not that long ago, as you say it's pretty daunting trying to think straight when all the other members are looking on., but it gave me a huge buzz and couldn't wait to get back in there on a one to one. Now I'm not the most gifted guy around with small talk, the first o...
