Short series, Goring Heath
at least your camera was weather proof. number 3 for me but I would do a bit of sat work on it James Thanks for your comments James, luckily my DA* 16-50 is weather proof as well, otherwise my kit would have stayed firmly under lock and key :wink: Here's another take on the track and fiel...

Short series, Goring Heath
Huw, I think the series captured the bleakness of the day really well. It's interesting in that the cross-blue filter you used later on one of the images actually makes me think of some of the lighting conditions I've experienced here in Oz - it's still subtle enough to be very realistic.

Frosty Sunrise C&C
Two of the many shots taken yesterday morning on Druridge Bay, Northumberland at sunrise, your C&C please. I attempted several more with a graduated Cokin filter attached, this caused a problem with the sun reflecting off the lens back onto the filter, see number three.

Frosty Sunrise C&C
Thanks Alan, commissions now undertaken :D :D:D I actually took another ten images however the flair is very evident on all shots where I used the Cokin filter.

Thank's David, I may have to consider a different make of filter to prevent this happening in the future.

Andrew You're right about the under exposed horizon: I sacrificed shadow detail knowing I had to keep cloud highlights from blowing-out. (Perils of digital, I'm afraid.) try a nd grad filter and a tripod (nd6 will give you 2 stops) James

Andrew, Even without the ND filter, there is some detail in the shadows that is accessible, by pushing the shadows a little and then recovering the cloud highlights. It should work even better for you with the original of course. Even with just this lens, you could do a panorama by stitc...

A lovely job, i-berg. The picture takes on a quite different feel with your processing, more soft and limpid. James, I've often thought of using a graduated filter and with a dead straight horizon like this one it would work very well. Thankyou for your interest and imput, gents. Regards, ...

Hi Will, Cropped it so that the top 'rule of thirds' line runs along the fence top. One of the verticals runs through the chimney. Some edits in LR3: contrast, vibrance and curves mainly, and put a -2 stop filter over the sky. It might lok a bit over the top FWIW. :)

A walk to Aberlady Beach
Anyone know if there's any way i can remove the distortion using CS4? Well, you can in CS3 (Filter > Distort > Lens correction) so I'm sure you can in CS4. Would love to get a better lens, but money is very tight. What did you use for those pictures?

A walk to Aberlady Beach
The first of the two sub shots for me. When you are doing the conversion from RAW see if you can "recover" the blown highlights in the clouds a bit, or perhaps use a "digital" neutral density filter to sort out the blown highlights. Best wishes, Kris.

a couple more from Brecon
Lovely shots, try them next time with a polarizer or ND filter just to bring out the sky. Jack. :wink:

without sounding sarcastic have you tried removing the UV filter and then taking some pictures of the same things when you used the UV filter? What lense are you using? if you have another lense try it, is it producing the same issue? If you provide some more info about the lense and the setti...

Sorry should have said I wwent to my friends place and was fasinated by this single flower(my friend lives about 60 miles from me otherwise I would try again with out the filter). I shot this inside(too windy outside) with K7 18-250 at 18, 1/4s 3.5 1600 thankfor your reply

I'd be more concerned about it being out of focus and perhaps with a little camera shake, noisy too at 1600ISO. 1/4 second is too long an exposure when in this close even with SR switched on. I doubt very much that your filter would have caused any colour cast, AWB will have removed any. @ fletch...

Chestere Cathedral
Hmmm...after living in or around Chester for 15 years now I'm suprised I've not done similar shots myself (note to self!). I agree with Stefan on the framing aspect. The last shot would work much better with a greater depth of field between the subject and background. If you are familiar with ...

Not to bad but you have over exposed it to much and its loosing detail as a result. I would of used a faster shutter speed with a large aperture or slower shutter speed a smaller aperture. Also shooting into the sun you can use a lower ISO than 400. Also try running it thru Photoshop you may be a...

Hi Monty. As you say C&C is very helpful. I'll give you my opinion on these, take it or leave it :wink: It is difficult to get the exposure correct on images like this. You either expose for the foreground and the background highlights blow. Or you expose for the background and the foreground ha...
