Using slow shutter speeds
Thanks Martin as said this is a new area for me but something a bit different to expand on. As said one of the photos had an exp of 13 seconds to get the effect, now if I tried that today the photo would just have been blown out. How do you get around the problem is there some sort of filter you can...

Another try with the SMC Pentax-A 1:2 50mm Lens

Le Viaduc de Millau in B&W
Dave with respect, it looks flat and there is not a single black tone in the shot, everythin' looks like you applied some sort of backlight to it. You need the tree covered hill to be darker keepin' jus' enough detail in the trees. Also, with a yellow and green filter applied you can change the ...

Really nice shots. I think the first could do with a touch of sharpening. But don't ask me how to do it as I'm not sure. Adding a high pass filter (5 pixels) using blend mode soft light at 70 % does the trick very good. It really brings back the detail in the feathers. Raising contrast about 15%...

MGB - 81 An Abstract
The only effects that have been applied are conversion to black and white (although the original is grey and grey), tweaking of the contrast and the application of a bit of tone. Surely you've used a PS filter like 'Poster Edges' too? Or is the posterisation just a result of the contrast change? ...

MGB - 81 An Abstract
Dan, You are right, I did use a filter of some description but I can't remember which one, hence I used the phrase "the application of a bit of tone" :!: The original is just two tone camouflage grey (to match the usual colour of the English Channel) so the filter applied seemed to fit in with...

Bembridge Windmill, C&C please
I prefer colour so it's number three for me. I'm also interested in the fact the filter shows. I've just taken delivery of the same lens and would normally fit a UV or skylight filter to it. Is any filter going to show up as your polarizer did or is it because a polarizer is deeper than a normal fil...

Bembridge Windmill, C&C please
RR, there is a a bit more detail under the roof but I wanted the high contrast look. (The colour version of number 1 looks fairly flat and boring to be honest) I suppose I could play about with these with a bit of fill or selective HDR but I don't do much post processing as I haven't really got...

OK, here they are. First I did was a bit cropping at the bottom. After that these were the steps I did in Elements 6. Copy background to new layer. ( CTRL-J) Open levels by hitting Ctrl-L Raise the mid tone slider to a value of 1,10 for opening up the shadows of the grass. Press Ctrl-J ...

Blue ridge mountains
I loved touring around the Blue Ridge on the couple of occasions when I’ve holidayed in the USA whilst working in North Carolina. The photograph is a perfect representation of the view along the Skyline drive and as I remember it was very difficult to image successfully. The photographs ...

Almost a pub crawl - help please
Am trying to learn to take acceptable landscape shots but am not doing very well and not sure where I am going wrong. During this pub crawl of Spalding I took several pubs and shots of the river, although they are fine for the family album they are not really what I thought I took. Please offer a...

Almost a pub crawl - help please
It's not at all easy to make a great landscape shot. In terms of content, these have quite a few bits of detail in them that we could do without. It's easy to filter out cars, lamp posts, etc. when we view an attractive scene. We don't notice them. Then there's lighting. The third shot has the mo...

Just a UV filter. I've put my three crop efforts below. That looks great without the flag, how did you do that? Cheers, Andy8)

Cosmos flowers
The same photo but the first is with the soft focus filter effect on the K200D. In the second the saturation is slightly reduced. Which do you prefer - do you like either? Richard

Cosmos flowers
The first one is straight out the camera after adding the soft filter effect so no extra PP. The second is from the RAW file and I fiddled with the colours a bit, reducing saturation and fine tuning WB to lessen the green. It was taken at sunset. Thanks for the comments, Richard.

Varg - my youngest hound
It looks better. As a tip....For this kind of fine detail (like fur) I usually take an other approach on sharpening. This is what I do: Copy layer.( Ctrl-J) Filter----->Other------->High pass. Pixels amount between 3,5 and 7(depending on file size)----->OK Change blend mode of layer to soft ...
