Birds Eye Delight
Remove the filter before anything else. I have to agree - as sad as I am whilst trying to think where this issue had cropped up before, whilst having breakfast watching the resident sparrows feeding, I realisedthat when I bought mt 200mm f4 lens - straight out of the box (second hand) things looked ...

Birds Eye Delight
Lots on controversy regarding filters but personally I only ever use a polarising filter and even then on only a wideangle lens. Try some tests on a static target with and without the filter. Vic.

Birds Eye Delight
Couldn't get back to the same birds for comparison, so went to Martin Mere for a bit of colour and got so carried away I totally messed up the settings on a lot of shots. Ended up with a lot of noise in shots that should have been fine - shutter too fast, ISO too low for the aperture. Did get some...

As a poor substitute for an experts opinion I will offer mine :D I reckon the filter was defintiely part of the issue - these are much better. With regard to camera settings my own way of working is usually to use av mode and alter the iso manually or occasionally let it wander on auto betwee...

One of the 'Darling Buds of May'
Have been extremely impressed with the creative use of B&W by other users on the forum and felt it was time for me to cast aside my inhibitions and have a go myself :shock: C&C much appreciated. H. E. Bates:wink: Writer and aspiring photographer :mrgreen:

A few from York Minster & Whitby Abbey
Love #2 and #5 Would like to see bigger versions though :) Thanks Smeggypants, here's a bigger #5 You've controlled the light very well in the York Minster interior shots, particularly in #2 where you've not blown the window highlights yet managed to keep fine detail in the ceiling. David Than...

Antipodean Autumn
Nice colours in all of them, and what odd pine cones you have out there :D Your worms look pretty odd too :lol: What's happened to the sky in number 2? High ISO? Or too heavy on the digital blue filter?

Pentax DA18-250
Nice pics...I was looking around for this lens on ebay etc. but could never find one. Would you say it is a good alternative to the Pentax 18-135? I am considering selling my Pentax 18-250 if anybody is interested. Boxed, complete, unmarked, hoya filter fitted from new. Has served me well but...

Gannets at Bempton
Went back to Bempton at the weekend to see if I could improve on the first lot now I have removed the UV filter from my lens. The light once the rain stopped was great. If you don't like gannets, this is not for you! All shots undoctored apart from a little noise removal and no. 6 which is cropped...

Gannets at Bempton
Great set of shots jvs. You say you removed the uv filter from your lens. Did you notice any difference?

Gannets at Bempton
Thanks to all for responding! I feel as if I'm beginning to make a little progress at last. For the record, the cropped off wingtips were unintended - the birds were too close to fit in the frame by the time I picked them up in focus. And to reply to john941, yes, a huge difference! Shots went fro...

Three Castles Classic car "rally"
Love #3 I like the way it's cropped, wittingly or unwittingly to the right hand kerbside. I think I would have put a hoz grad filter in the upper hlaf of the shot to tone down the expose a 1/3rd of s top to help with some depth, but other than that great. :) And it looks like the cars moder...

Infrared @ 60
mph that is. :) Trying something different with my DS, kit lens and Hoya R72 filter. :shock: Converted in PhotoShop, custom white balance set in camera. Love the sense of movement at speed. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Any comments gratefully received. :wink:

Infrared @ 60
I have tried to take Images with my Pentax K100D using a fairly cheap Infrared Filter. Not really knowing just what type of filter to use, the Images came out stupid! I know next to nothing about Infrared Images, but I gave it a try. Never could seem to get it right, so I stopped trying. I just ...

One more 'planet' picture
Just one more from me today. On top of St. Catherine's Hill near Winchester is the MizMaze, a turf maze. For those asking how these are done, here's the sequence: 1. Make a normal pano. Use a fixed white balance, fixed focus and manual exposure. 360 degrees is best. If you want the g...

A View of an Abbey in Whitby...
This may seem a bit odd but I quite like the first one , mainly because it bugs me slightly. I admit I didn't think much of it when I first set eyes on it, and I wondered why you'd left the top of the wall in. But on revisiting it, the sky grabs you and you do need the wall for balance. The bit t...

That sky worked out well with that ND filter eh? The whole image has a somewhat alien feel to it. :)

Cwm Ystradllyn
Number 1 is the standout for me bychan. I like the way you can see through the clear water which also reflects the clouds. Did you use a polarising filter? The clouds look very contrasty against the vivid blue skies. In fact, does the 10-20 have a screw thread or is it too much of a fish eye?
