My first lunar photography session
Flipping heck! if it wasn't for the watermark I'd not be sure that was the same image! Thanks for the tip! You're welcome. I was quite surprised myself that it came up so well. No sharpening technique can put in detail that wasn't there already. I've noticed if I attempt to sharpen pictures ...

My first lunar photography session
The reason for long telephotos going past infinity is that expansion and contraction of the lens makes a difference to the infinity point. It becomes critical with some designs, hence the leeway provided. As for mirror lenses, many of the 500mm ones are not impressive. I'd prefer a standard 500mm...

My first lunar photography session
Thank you once again to Chris A for his top tip :) Most kind, but credit should really go to MattMatic, who passed the technique to me. Your latest version is certainly contrastier, but at the expense of additional noise. I can't help feeling that it would look better smaller. (Resampling, ...

Global warming in action
Ah Didcot Power station....takes me back. Provided us with our own microclimate. I used to live in Wantage, and the OH worked at RAL. Those were the days.

Spider picture.
I had one of them in my garden a few weeks back. I couldn't get a good shot as minimal focus distance on the 18-55 wasn't good enough to get any real detail. Looks good to me, how much of the frame is that image?

Strange Apparition??
It's a reflection of your flash from a dust particle. It's a particular problem with P&S cameras due to the small distance between the flash unit and the lens which causes light to come back at a small angle off the dust particles. Quite a few people thought they had discovered "angels&qu...

Panaramic first attempt
My first attempt at a panarama. Taken from the reserve at the back of my house. I got a bit carried away as it was 8 shots stitched together using the DA18-55 kit lens. I used a program called Panarama Maker 4 which came bundled with an XD picture card i brought for my Fuji P&S. What do you th...

Dedicated
Gartmore. You have to be kidding. I don't want to get into another political discussion, however I believe all the American haters should put their money where their mouths are and just not accept anything American in their lives. Maybe the UK should start the trend and get back to their own ...

New snapper
I must thank you all for you kind welcome and excellent, constructive criticism. I am the first to say I have a lot to learn, not just about photography, but also about the camera. I have, I think rushed in to things a little, so by stepping back a bit and looking more at things I have come up wit...

On location
Good night Brian, My critiques for the first image: The intensity of details and the colors of the girl dress vie with her. I think all the attention must point to the model. The dress must be as simple as possible (in shape and colors). The transition between the focused/non focused are...

My New Website for weddings
Love the site - Can I ask what software you used to set that up. I'm not normally a fan of popups but your site looks very nice. Like many others I also hate pop-ups - as soon as a pop-up attempts to fire I leave the site and don't come back.

Ugh! Flash and pop-ups. There may be some nice pictures in there but I really can't be bothered with a fight navigating the site to see them. If you want to show off pictures, all that animation, music and frilly bits is pure distraction. If you want people to focus on the pictures, why dilute...

My New Website for weddings
I just got married - and saw some pictures in same style (read the ones with "funny" angels and stuff) at the shop. Not my style personally. 1) I do like the B/w pictures where you pick out a single color. I think you executed them well - and I'm quite sure there is a demand for them - ...

It would appear the consensus here is that most folk who have replied don't like flash sites full stop. However from my view so far my clients seem to like it a lot as they say its easy to use/navigate and looks very professional. The reason I chose flash was because most of the top wedding profe...

petekd.. I like your site and most of the images, it's the kind of format used a lot over here for wedding photographers and it sells. Loved the music, I guess some of the critics on this site don't know where to turn off the sound ! Simple solution for those who don't like the music. This is ...
