Sunset
Well it seemed to be a nice sunset, so I grabbed my camera and ran ran down to the beach (about 5-10minutes away). Sadly alot of the shots were overexposed in highlights, and also not focused properly, it was slightly worrying really! :roll: I should probably get hold of a GND filter for my landsc...

A newbies attempt
Nice images, Father. But all images, except the last one, seem slightly out of focus. Ref my reply to woodworm above. Also, in the first image, I would like to see more colour in the sky. Seems washed out in my opinion. A polarizing filter will do wonders.

Thanks for the reply. I now have a polarizing filter, but didn't at the time. The sky was a light grey overcast on the day. I'll have a look at woodworm's thread and your reply :wink:

Orchids and an SMC A 135 2.8
Having had to come back to England light, I have only my old *ist DS (borrowed back from my sister in law), the Mk 1 18-55, and a newly acquired SMC A 135mm. What a lens! Here are a couple of pictures using the 135 of an Orchid, the first at f 2.8, the second with a +3 closeup filter and at f9.5. ...

Orchids and an SMC A 135 2.8
Thanks for the comments - I partly put them up because I was so impressed with the performace of the lens at f2.8 and the ability to turn it into a macro with a simple close up filter. The flower heads are about 5cm across to give an idea of scale. I have to confess to having tweaked the saturati...

Baby portrait
I'm really glad you all took the time to give some feedback. I think it is quite interesting things you all note. Thats what I like about it. I tried to do some PP work on the shot. The CA - is not CA - it is really trace of the highpass filter. Might overdone it last night. Thanks for pointing o...

A trip to the Lakes with the Sigma 10-20
Nice shots. Thanks :) I just won Ebay bid on a Sigma 10-20mm last night. What do you think of the lens, it has got some pretty good reviews, however it's nice to get feedback from a user on this forum. Well mine's new (from SRS Microsystems in Watford), so I can't comment on how it goes ove...

A Bovine Audience
Amazing D.O.F.. Love that "last light of the day". Do you have a filter to keep bovine slobber off your lens. (These guys have huge tongues!) :D

It makes a huge difference. Very nicely done. Did you try to add some sharpening by using highpass filter(s). I recon that it would be good to use in this situation without any noise.

This proves I have no clue
With challenging exposures such as this I always regret not carrying my Polorisor or ND filter! Often these are required to get the shuter/apature combination you want under this situation. Spot meter from the trees (background), spot metre from the water and you will likely find a several stop ...

too much polarisation?
Apologies for the larger pictures - my normal hosting site is down so pulling them from flickr. It's a B+W Thin 77mm Circular Polariser on the Sigma 10-20. I have touched up the pictures to get the right exposure and also took your advise George and added a bit of yellow in the second picture. I ...

too much polarisation?
Probably can't beat any B&W filter - I'd say you've got a great one.

too much polarisation?
I like the b/w version - then the navy blue skies work, but personally I find the sky very unnatural in the second photo, far too dark. I just don't like it. So me me no 1 is the better colour photo, but the b/w photo works very well. I never used a pola filter in America - the skies there (when ...

too much polarisation?
Did you take one without the filter also? This first picture was taken with the polariser on but not doing any polarisation if that makes sense. I then rotated it to get the effect in the second one. I initially thought the first picture had the plarisation applied but as I am pretty new to usin...

Sunken Boat, 2nd attempt
take #1 into photoshop (elements) duplicate layer set top layer to :blend mode, multiply. (adjust opacity (till it looks good)). filter add noise, (mono, gaussian, whatever amount looks good) let us know how that works for you.
