Fireworks
I took about 750 shots on the old S20Pro a couple of years back. Unfortunately I forgot my tripod :( and was prone on a wall the whole evening.

Fireworks
I bought "Digital Camera" magasine today which had some tips on firework shooting, and which I'm trying out in about half an hours time! Use bulb mode, and a piece of black card so that you can get multiple bursts on the same frame. Manually focus beforehand, focussing at infinity will ...

Lab Colour Space vs AdobeRGB
Lab mode offers a useful sharpening technique that is especially good for architecture. Basically you convert the RGB image to Lab, select the lightness channel only and apply large amounts of sharpening. This sharpens the basic black and white structure of the image without affecting the chromin...

Lab Colour Space vs AdobeRGB
You are comparing apples and oranges here... :roll: * "AdobeRGB" is a colourspace (sRGB is another) * "Lab" is a colour mode. (RGB is another) Amoringello's comment is, therefore, incorrect as Lab is not a colourspace ;) The colour mode is how the numbers represent the co...

What next? Advice tips for the newbie please!
As the title goes, what advice would you give to a newbie? Bought the K10D mainly to add to my collection of gadgets, but have now seriously caught the bug! Bought the Sigma 70-300mm mainly because of the offer in Jessops brought the price down, also added the grip a couple of weeks later beca...

Lab Colour Space versus AdobeRGB
For some adaptations in Photoshop we have to change the modus from AdobeRGB tot Lab Colour Space. After the adaptations we have to switch back tot AdobeRGB. Does this have an influence on the quality of the picture?

Lab Colour Space versus AdobeRGB
There will be some cases of rounding errors when converting. You can, as John rightly says, cut down the number of conversions to a minimum - then these errors will only be slight and generally not noticed. (If you want to test this, create a script that will convert back and forward between two col...

Lab Colour Space versus AdobeRGB
Thanks for the answers. So the conclusions might be: we can convert from AdobeRGB to Lab Colour Spaceand back, but only once and only if necessary. The idea of doing it in a copy layer is always useful.

Lab Colour Space versus AdobeRGB
Not sure you have to worry about it to that degree. Most of the functionality in Photoshop is done behind the scenes in Lab mode. So conversions are likely being done anyway. (adjustment layers probably help minimize this a bit by performing a lot of the mods in an intelligent order... one would ho...

aperture settings for detailed foreground and background
There is no escaping that small apertures such as f11 or f16 need longer shutter speeds. The two are inter-related. However, there are three additional options. The most effective is to use a tripod and eliminate the camera shake that way. No good for moving subjects though - even moving grass an...

aperture settings for detailed foreground and background
Hi lordson. The smaller the apature the greater the depth of field. If you try setting the hyperfocal distance then halfway between that setting and the camera to infinity will be in focus. An approx. way of setting this distance is:- Say you have a 35mm lens and you set your apature to f11 then dev...

Discussion: Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
I'm absolutely with you both on this. In my personal work I dont/wont even crop preferring to get exposure and composition as best I can at the decisive moment and only allowing perhaps a little burning and dodging afterwards. If you saw a scene that absolutely needed a square format, but you only h...

Discussion: Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
I'm not sure where I stand on HDR images yet. When you look at a scene, your eye's iris opens up and closes down, effectively spot metering for each bit of the scene you look at. So the brain forms an HDR composite of what the eye has recorded. So my take on these is that if they're natural, lik...

Discussion: Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
The real question will be "is it a good image?". How we got there doesn't bother me... However, if being entered for a competition then it should be all our own work. Did it have to start in a camera? We had a thread a while back where we had to determine which pictures were 'real' a...

The art of street photography! It tends to be more the province of rangefinder users. If you are really interested I can post some links on discussions of how to get over the "fear" of such situations. Interestingly, most SLR users would probably go for a longer lens and stand back. Most R...
