K200D - Raw vs Jpeg Noise at ISO 1600
I was recently able to compare the K200D's in-camera black and white filter (and resulting jpeg) with raw processing + photoshop. In both cases +1 EV was applied post capture, and the ISO setting was 1600. (It was DARK!) These are crops viewed at 100% In camera: Raw: I actually app...

Critique Thread No. 1
I'm with John the sepia colour is too thick I believe but besides that I like the crop that you used and I love the steps of distance in your photo. I also believe that monochrome would work very well with this photo, this a quick "run" from me. First time I used the offset filter :? It's a 50% ...

A small selection with my K-X
I've had my camera a while now, so thought I'd be brave and post some images. I am a beginner! I've just joined a newly formed photography Club and we were given Abstract (the above photo has the watercolour filter applied) The photo below is my first attempt at monochrome and a submissi...

A small selection with my K-X
Hi Gareth, Hehe, I'm pleased you can't work out what they are hopeful will be ok for abstract then! :) The first one is a macro of a shower head taken at an angle. It's the watercolour filter that brings it into it's own as an abstract, (I think). The second one, I guess, is just a simple ...

Its not just a blob...
polarising filter. perhaps someone has some oil you could pour on the water to smooth it out. (line them up) Or make one of those underwater viewers like a bucket with a glass bottom. Given the cheapness of 18-55mm lenses just use one and sell it on ebay afterwards. I quite like the eff...

Polarising filter and a rock pool on a still day. Waterproof camera? I like the effect though - like looking through that glass you get (or used to get) in some windows.

The Lakes at the weekend
I have never had any problems resizing using elements, there may be something going wrong in your workflow somewhere, anyway, the water. IN PSE8 I selected the water using the rectangular marquee tool with 5 pixel feathering, created a new gradient map layer and selected the pre-set that looks li...

lemon and lime
This is my first effort at this shot I now it's not the sharpest lime in the world but hay My first go at it. I think I need to re shoot this in the studio where I can play with coloured filter over the flash heads (Green,Blue and maybe yellow) I would still like to here your comments and inpu...

Burn
Thanks for the comments! Strangely, while here I have never seen that shimmery haze you often get with high temperatures. The sky is noramlly very dust-laden, and often is a pinkish colour towards sunset, which was what I was trying to achieve here, though I used a coloured grad filter in Lightroom....

Winter Sunset - Traeth West End
Ah Wales, Adrian. Makes me feel wistful! I like the way that filter has helped control contrast. The sky is a wonderful rich colour. I also like the glossy black rocks/pebbles in the forground. One of these would make a good poster print. I have heard one can see the Wicklow mountains but have ne...

Thanks all for the fantastic comments.... i'm flattered :D A few more from our trip... This is Snoqualmie Falls. It's a bit skewed, but i was hanging over the side of a barrier a couple of hundred feet up trying to get a better, unrestricted view. It's the fall that made it's fame in the telev...

Messing around last night
Nifty sunglasses, and the reflection is indeed very cool. Do you really carry a pocketwatch around with you? :) I had a go at a for one of the fortnightly comps a while back. Having already previously taken a macro of my watch I wanted one with a moving second hand for the competition. After mu...

Messing around last night
I had a go at a for one of the fortnightly comps a while back. Having already previously taken a macro of my watch I wanted one with a moving second hand for the competition. After much faffing around I concluded that using flash was making things much more complicated than necessary! It ended up ...

Thanks Graham. If you went for the welding glass; mine was superglued to an empty filter ring, then I went around the outside with some silicon bathroom sealant to make it light-tight. The edges of the glass were pretty sharp so I put some tape around them. It's ugly but it works better than you sho...

Thanks for the feed back guys its always helpful to get other peoples thoughts on a subject. This was taken using a filter I purchased recently and used for the first time here I think the photo would have been better taken with the 10/20 opening up more of the scene to be honest. Ian

Any Photoshop Advice
