For the better good
I think development into usable higher ISOs is a great idea and with time it will filter down into cameras for us non pro users. On a lighter note. With the way things are going I wonder if night vision goggles will become part of the standard photographers kit ? Cheers, /Ian

Sharpening
Resizing & heavy postprocessing can create a need for further sharpening Mike, but a RAW image will need sharpening anyway, even with the best lenses. I believe this is to do with the filter in front of the camera sensor causing a little loss of sharpness. A technique I've read about but haven't ...

Sharpening
Hi Mike, Just to add my 2 cents to this. As above mentioned I dont do any sharpening in the RAW conversion and leave it all until I have finished what ever processing/editing I am doing. Then I use the default sharpening in PS (Filters>Sharpen>Sharpen) that usually suffices. If I feel I need...

Canon 1D MK IV Announced - Who needs FF?
Personally, I like these developments, as eventually they will all filter down to cheaper cameras, and give us more options. To say that high ISOs are not necessary seems to be a very limited point of view, just because others may not ever use them, doesn't mean that they are not absolutely nece...

Question from a member
As gartmore said, infra red light focuses at a different point to the visible sepctrum and lenses are not usually corrected for this. The point of focus changes and old manual focus lenses have an IR mark to move the lens to after focusing. As IR photography needs a very measured approach, usuall...

Enhancing skies
Well I use Adobe Lightroom, so if you don't then itll be hard to explain But Under develop, you can alter the hue/sat/lightnesss values of each colour range, i altered the blues a bit to make the blue haze more purple, and fit in with the sky. I then selected the neutral density gradient tool (A r...

Enhancing skies
Quite similar to Martin. Added a gradient from black to transparent, adjusted it to have the black bits on the sky, sharpish gradient to transparent. Layer mode overlay or soft light and adjusted opacity. This is something I do quite frequently with skies. It is like putting on a gradient filt...

Best raw conversion software?
is a nice package too, worth looking at, I've had it since it was beta and it's developed into quite a capable editing package :)

Photography at a Boxing Match
Take plenty of tissues and use some kind of protective filter, the blood, snot and sweat combination goes everywhere, I'm deadly serious... been there.

Macro Extension Tubes - A newbie to macro!
Message to self ... read the threads first before buying ... I see bugger all because my lenses do not have Aperture ring ... daft bugger I am :roll: Actually the 18-55 can focus quite close to 1:2,9 good enough for most flowers at least. A 50mm lens isn't so expensive though, neither is a 28mm ...

Landscape Filters
Hi guys, Just wondering what filter kits anyone is using for ND Grads?

Landscape Filters
So the circularity is in the shape of the filter? I read it as 'circular polariser', i.e. producing circularly polarised light. That can be achieved with quarter wave plates etc but it seemed not to fill the requirement of eliminating one particular plane of polarisation. The terminology seems to b...

The Follow Up to the K7
Hi! Good photo:). Did you use the on-camera noise filter or did you filter noise in some editing program?

The Follow Up to the K7
Hi! Good photo:). Did you use the on-camera noise filter or did you filter noise in some editing program? No, no noise reduction used at all and no post capture sharpening, this is a conversion from the RAW image striaght out of the camera. :)

How did he do that?
Thank you Don, a soft filter is probably more useful today since the lens coating work pretty well :wink: Would the other ways not give an uneven effect and I would no think about using them outdoors so that's probably not what he used.

Okay Don, will try it out then, the trick must be to be quick then :) Prieni, interesting idea will try that out as well. occam's razor which is easier... skylight filter, vasiline cotton swabs or: compose, lock focus and exposure pivot the camera to point lens at your mouth breath, pivot b...

Which image editing program works the best
Matt, not sure how far you go with RAW conversion and touching up your images but I use for RAW conversion and for resizing and any additional tweeks. is also worth a look, it's free to download and use and you can donate to aid continuing development if you wish.

Good news / bad news
Cheers guys Back from a weekend away now and the Sigma 17-70 was used extensively (around Canterbury). Really noticed the difference in sharpness to the kit lens and also the overall performance inside the cathedral which has a lot of dim and variable lighting. In response to Womble's comment...
