Do I 1)Change the R...

Which file to keep
It also depends on what programmes you use, or combination of software options .... If I'm using Photoshop for layers, or I need to save selections for example (I might be thinking of coming back to the shot in future) then I'd go for .psd - this will save losslessly at a smaller filezise than the ...

Which file to keep
I think it depends on what camera you have. If it is one of the later cameras that uses DNG as the raw file I would always save that. With the RAW PEF I always saved the PEF + jpeg. One great advantage of DNG is that Adobe Camera RAW will open the file and does not need to be kept up to date fo...

Just for fun, what are the 'cliche' shots
I think we need to be very careful not to fall into the Camera Club Judge Trap (not all are guilty) of being jaded from seeing too many photos of the same subjects. "This has all been done before" is not an argument in my book, because it could well be the first time a particular photographer has se...

Mountains, trees, birds, plants, animals, the sea, buildings, people... Oh. That's just about everything... :wink: Completely agree with John's post above. I think we need to be very careful not to fall into the Camera Club Judge Trap (not all are guilty) of being jaded from seeing too...

Brightly coloured doors with peeling paint, preferably somewhere exotic. Because with all of Cuba/Mongolia/Siberia/Cornwall in front of you, the thing you will most want to look back on is... a door. :roll:

Just for fun, what are the 'cliche' shots
If we all stopped taking clichéd photo's and only took or even posted completely original shots there would be very little to look at :? I disagree. On the contrary I think there would be a whole lot more to look at. People wouldn't take less Photos, they'd take a more varied selection IMO. ...

Just for fun, what are the 'cliche' shots
A thought I've had lately is a lot of people are not going to have any non 'filtered' shots from the last 4 year period. In future they'll wonder why all their photos have extreme vignette, cross processed shadows to purple, and are all blurred apart from one centre face in focus and are over expos...

Just for fun, what are the 'cliche' shots
Three cliches, one image: Child, Adult, Feather. :D This image kind of makes my point. It's nothing to do with clichés - it's about the picture, on its own merits. Without the memory of the fun experienced by the three people involved, the observer has only the image to interpret. To my eye...

help with printing
Redbusa99 Once you have calibrated your monitor the images you see are as they should be. However, in relation to your prints other things need to be set correctly too. Your White Balance will need to be right you can do this using a colour passport checker and the eye dropper tool in Photosho...

I try and create images that please me. I think I would hate to have someone else develop the final image. Back in the day I always used to do my own developing. It will always be part of the process to me, whether chemically or digitally.

Definitely a senior moment
Just had a distressing morning thinking a body had a fault, it wouldn't lock focus. Cleaned contacts, tried different lenses, the works. Focus switch had been knocked to AF-C. doh!

Almost as bad as mine a couple of days back. The rear wheel on the body would not do anything! The front was fine for changing exposure time, but I could not alter the aperture. Went into the menu and changed the functions - still nothing. I could review an image, scroll through them, but no...

I've gone to take an image, hand held, a few times, and got the 2sec beep beep beep because I had been using timer to turn off SR. Now it's set to "forget" and revert back to no timer/SR on after switching the camera off and then on again.

I keep forgetting to turn SR back on after using the 50-500mm OS Sigma ... although a lot of the time I also forget to turn it off and end up using both stabilisation systems together.

Yes so do I - I'm very puzzled why the results aren't bad. In theory, the sensor SR should put back in what the ...
