Eclipse of the moon
I didn't know we had one until i saw it, driving back from the Veluwe to my hometown late yesterday evening. Clear sky, but no camera:roll: It was a 85 % eclipse BTW. ( 2010 is the next full one expected) Martin.

Where should I put them?
Just got back from holiday. Two weeks in a very wet North East England. Now, I have loads of photos ( over 300 I think ) which I need to whittle down and put some on here for c&c. So...do I use the "your Photos" board, or am I best using the new "My Portfolio" feature and posting them in there...

Dreamy background effects
Can anyone suggest an alternative to Gausian Blur for throwing backgrounds out of focus. I have a wedding shot of the bride looking back over her shoulder but the background is cluttered and has a few "unwanted" guests in it. Cloning the guests out isn't really an option, I dont want to replace the ...

Dreamy background effects
That might be a good idea John:oops: [/img] The most annoying thing here is the two most prominent guest are my son and daughter, I could have just yelled for them to lose themselves. I am actually considering going back to the venue and snapping the exterior again. I'm using Photoshop ...

Dreamy background effects
Here you go my attempt:- 1. Clone away the distractions. 2. Duplicate layer. 3. Blur the duplicated layer, create a mask. 4. Paint back in the details. Some more work to clean up the "Pseudo" depth of field is required but its not bad I think. Regards, Gary.

Dreamy background effects
Hi all, I've done something very similar to efforts above but tried to emulate Depth of field effect using lens blur... First a bit a straightening up Then make a selection around the bride using polygonal lasso, expand and feather selection copy to another layer. Make a duplicate layer of w...

Competition Results by The Judge
Just to get things back on track, I do agree with Lilly. The ability to show comments under entries is one of the real benefits of the new site. (I'm not sure what the others are.) G

Competition Results by The Judge
Must admit I rather like the way the two last competitions have been laid out, with all comments below on the overview page. Having been through all pictures in full format, the thumbnail view is enough to connect the comment to the picture, and easy to compare comments. If you want to have another ...

Smart Media
It's true that Fuji have strange methods of calculating the megapixel outputs of their cameras (because of the uniquely patterned sensors they employ) so it's not uncommon to see a 3.2 megapixel Fuji being described as having 6.4 megapixels. Having said that I use a Contax TVS as my pocket digicam w...

How to use High dynamic range
Thanks Isaac for your comments I looked at the photo and what caught my eye was the clouds. In the back of my mind I am thinking this could have been done in photoshop

How to use High dynamic range
what caught my eye was the clouds... this could have been done in photoshop Yeah, i also use photoshop, and convert one raw file dark, one midtone, one bright, and then selectively apply different parts across the image to get the same effect. BUT photomatix does it all for me, and lets me fine ...

Attention CANADIAN members (west coast)
Lily; I'm not on the West Coast anymore, not far from Toronto now, but from any research I've done and the lenses I've bought, Brick and Mortar Retail stores are all pretty close in price, with the only big "in-country" savings done through the web, and the best prices I've seen are generally Pro...

Photographic Equipment and Iceland
The mention of the Northern Lights brings back memories of the Pentax Club trip to Iceland in 1984 with Peter and Liz Cox leading it;we camped out; got to a high viewpoint,saw the lights and the smell of WHISKY wafted out of the Cox's tent!

Photographic Equipment and Iceland
A few landscape shots? I have just returned from Iceland and it is a photographers heaven, but expect rain/snow!! With the exception of one day is rained non-stop for one week when I was there. So weathersealed everything!, and I would have liked an UV-filter to protect my precious glass. Don't get ...

On the hunt for 500mm

On the hunt for 500mm
Think Chirpy on here has the Sigma 500mm, not cheap though! About £3k? The 'Bigma' is a popular choice (sigma 50-500mm) too. There is (was!) a Pentax 500mm F4.5, but it is manual focus though, and I have one and am open to offers!

On the hunt for 500mm
Like Peter, I also have a Russian 500mm Mirror lens. Amazingly sharp with terrible bokeh. Built like the proverbial tank for M42 screw mount. I use it for photographing loons on our lake. I shoot from a kayak, and one day will wind up under water - this thing is HEAVY:!: I've used it with 2...
