Katie with K20D and 50mm FA
@Anvh: I don't do this living just yet. What I'm trying to get to is a good portfolio and than possibly try and get some paid work. @Craig thanks for comments. I did think about making that arm small through use of photoshop but I voted against it as I wanted to keep it as natural as possible, mo...

A Policeman and his MP5
Nice one I wonder if he's as good a shot as you:D:D The only criticism I have is some of the whites seem burned out and I'm not keen on the white sleeve dominating the top left corner though I dont know how you'd have got round it with this crop, can you pull the whites back I wonder or are th...

Lionheart & Parliament
Just GIMP, using some masks and different blending modes. Basicly you copy the background layer, use channel mixer to convert to B & W. Than tone the entire image with the warm bronze tone. Than add a layer mask and paint back the statue. Set opacity of mask to 50% to bring down the blue a bit. ...

Berkeley Castle and Gardens
Thanks Sefan, I shall have to practice doing my RAW conversions to make a 'set' of pictures all look the same... I think the third shot would have been improved with a larger F stop to throw more of the green background leaves out of focus. I think the contrast between the 'up' and 'down' peta...

Trying low light
I don't really like the flash in the first two, there isn't much depth in them. Did you use the build in flash? The first one also seems you've to shallow DOF, the flower accept the rain drops are out of focus. my gues is that you use 5.6, you would probable want to use f/8 are more likely even m...

Guess The Lens
I was looking at a cinema projector down at the auctions a couple of weeks back and that had a similar-looking lens stuck on the front - so that's my guess. I think it may be a tad big for my bellows unfortunately... :wink:

A few Sparrows
Manual focus as my K20D is refusing to AF. Was quite fun in all honesty.

Hi Heidi, the 1st two are very good. The 3rd is way off focus and the 4th I'm with Scott on that just not my type of picture. shim

Hi Heidi and welcome. 1st - I like the Focus on the foot and the shallower dof on the face. 2nd - Nothing wrong with it. I would leave the Text out though, thats ok if you are emailing it or printing it out for someone you care about but not for a forum, although in saying that i guess it does...

I like the 3rd shot the most. Subject stands out from the background really well. You did use some creative soft focus option which is totally up to you. Background is dark but on my screen I can see green grass so it's not totally dark and it brings out the flower even more. Not bad work, you sh...

WELL... did I ever laugh when I read these comments? My last picture was ONLY to see how clear I could focus on something so small... It Really isn't my "cup of tea" either. But as I've said I do not have real good eye sight and I was encouraged to try using the manual function (as I did with all 4 ...

First Communion
I had it on ISO400. The church was fairly bright but I wanted to avoid using the flash if I could, so I thought I'd use a slightly higher setting than usual. I'll go back and tweak number 1. Thanks.

A forgotten shot reworked
Good recuse. I often look back through some of my older shots to see if I can spot any keepers with a fresh eye. Not been as lucky as that though :( Regards PaulM

Image noise on K20
Just to explain the ETTR (Expose To The Right) thing a bit more - The sensor is linear, but the light levels are logarithmic. This fact affects the noise levels in the shadows. So, the top 1Ev of the exposure occupies a full half of the digital levels (ie 2048 levels of a 12-bit RAW). The next 1...

Image noise on K20
...you need both histogram views ;) You may have an image that has a luminance histogram that sits nicely inside, BUT is seriously clipping on an individual channel. Clipping on a single channel might be fine - some RAW converters can recover from the other two channels (e.g. Lightroom). Howev...

Image noise on K20
Ok I am getting the hang of the ETTR idea. I took these two tonight. One was a "normal" exposure where the histogram was generally to the left hand side. The second was exposed at +1.5 ev. The luminance histogram now more to the right, but the red chanell was overexposed. I brought the red chann...
