Some years ago I retired from work , and one afternoon while my husband was in Inverness [ just a few miles away from Glasgow :) ] I fell over our dog and dislocated my Left elbow - description I gave t...

One of the best things about photography is that it gets us out there. Whether its sitting in a hide having a craic with good lads. Or being at the beach, or in the wilds when there is no-one else about. Or whether its people watching in town or at a fair. What I'm saying is. Its not all about...

Sad to hear this news. Stroke sufferers can often make full or almost full recoveries, though this can take years. From my experience, having a hobby to get back to is a motivating factor. Please send my best wishes to Eddie for a speedy recovery and a return to photography and other activities...

Backpacks...
Hi Jules, I have a few back backs of different sizes including a trusty Lowepro AW Trekker (XL) but recently I bought a Vanguard uprise 48 which, like the big Lowepro will hold more than most people would want to carry on a Trek; packed carefully for recent trip to Cambodia it took quite a load a...

Infra-red filters - how to get good results?
Don't forget also that IR focuses on a different plane from UV light, that's the reason that SMC Takumars have an IR focus index. You focus normally and then shift the focus from the normal UV mark to the IR one

Infra-red filters - how to get good results?
As others have said above, the R 72 will give you essentially straight b&w infrared images, of varying exposure lengths depending on the camera. The K 3 and K 5 in my experience are not that sensitive to IR, so the R72 on those cameras functions almost as a red 10 stop filter, and you'll need a tri...

Is it my imagination or did we used to have "no. of views" for posts?
The answer is that larger images are accepted and the site manages the resizing. To get back to the point, images of a reasonable size make sense in that they will load quicker.

Layer Masking - Its Black & White
I want to share some thoughts on Photoshop Layers, in particular layer masking concepts. It seems to me there a good number of quite incomprehensable processes in Photoshop, and many unintuitive methods and terms ... 'burning, dodging, unsharp mask?' Layer masking has its own peculiar working ap...

Layer Masking - Its Black & White
and many unintuitive methods and terms ... 'burning, dodging, unsharp mask?' For anyone who has ever done any film darkroom work, these are very intuitive terms. Burning is giving more light to an area to make it darker, dodging is holding back light to make an area lighter, unsharp mask is a fil...

Layer Masking - Its Black & White
Where I disagree with you Nigel is that I think we are photographers, not computer program users. Just in the same way as we were once photographers and not darkroom users. Yes, we use computer programs just as we used darkrooms, but that wasn't and isn't the primary focus. Of course it's possibl...

Layer Masking - Its Black & White
Perhaps its better to keep to the matter I was really addressing, which was layer masking. I do accept that older photographic processes, and their termonologies, can be understood and used when their effects are being reproduced on a computer. As far as layer masking is concerned, what I am int...

Layer Masking - Its Black & White
These types of write ups really need pictures attached, or to be talk through video demos. A lot of text soon loses people if anything is even slightly unclear/ambiguous, and it requires a certain level of knowledge to even begin with. The process you describe is really useful. There is a funct...

Layer Masking - Its Black & White
Thanks for this Nigel. I think that layer masking is one of the most important skills to learn in Photoshop but for me it's the most difficult concept to get my head around. It's so simple but I always need to run a tutorial before attempting it. Bookmarking this post for sure. Hi Lu, please feed b...

Hi Stu Just had a look at the two K-5 images on the Gallery and they both look over-exposed to me. Try knocking back the exposure a stop or so and I think this may well help a good deal. K-5 RAW images need to be processed to get them to sparkle but the JPEGS should be good straight from the ...
