Infra Red
What filter are you using? If it's 720nm, then you need to get the WB right. In-camera it can be done by setting the WB on sunlit grass (or white paper if there's no grass available), but ACR and Lightroom will still make the image look red as they only go down to 2000K. You can make a custom camera...

Better than I thought
Playing around with the 55-300mm set at 300mm and took this shot of a pair of doves. I know the sky is a bit "urgent" and I'm not sure if these birds have bits of blue in their wings but I think this photo is much sharper than any of the others I've taken. Cropped in CS5 K7 55-300mm @ 300mm Cente...

First time lucky with a Kx
Thanks for the comments! They're very sharp images - I wonder how much of that is down to the lens rather than the camera itself. While I have no complaints with my Kx, I don't recall any of my images jumping out at me as being that sharp, leaving aside subject matter. Have you done much (or any...

First time lucky with a Kx
As far as PP goes, a lot of trial, error and advice from the web have led me to adopt the following method to get the best from images suffering from atmospheric haze. I started with the RAW files in Lightroom, where I adjusted WB, reduced noise and applied a grad filter from the top to reduce exp...

Plastic Wrap
truthfully, I find this filter useful, but not particularly pleasing in the way it is used here. the plastic wrap filter does wonders when applied to parts of an image... for example when applied to text or objects you want to make to look like they are wet... it is also great for applying burned t...

That's some 49mm filter in No:1 :D All good pictures of the musicians.

Rolls Royce Special Edition
Thanks for the comments Gareth. I think you are saying I would have been better changing to manual focus in the circumstances. I will try that next time there are "mirror" surfaces fairly close up. Do you think using a polarising filter would have helped? Thanks for the comments David. I had don...

First photos with Sigma 10-20mm
I have this lens and i like it a lot i hardly took it off the camera for about 2months when i first got it. According to the crack it is at its best around f8. I sent some images to a friend who has a Nikon and he has gone out and bought one as well.I must try to unweld the 100mm macro from my K-r s...

First photos with Sigma 10-20mm
Some of the Pentax tweaks for distortion and chromatic aberration are turned off when you pop a Sigma lens on. They do help Pentax lenses but do slow down the processing. That makes sense. I couldn't work out why it would be. Considering some of the distortion correction might be turned off it's a...

First photos with Sigma 10-20mm
Hi again Chris, I would have thought a filter across an objective lens that big (and it is big isn't it?) would attract flare. I leave the shallow hood on all the time which also offers a bit of knock protection. Use outside of 90 degrees to any architecture does produce some interesting angles. ...

Vignetting or what?
Ignoring the likely exposure error what is the likely cause of the apparent vignetting which is evident in the above shot. It's an effect I've noticed on several occasions, but this is probably the clearest Taken last night with K10D 18-55 lens (1/60, f4.5, iso100, focal length 18mm, no filter...

Some Images - CC Please
Another version of #1 David. If you'd rather it was removed, then we can ask John to do so. Just cropped to get rid of some trees to the right and to move the house right of centre. Grad filter on the sky. Increased clarity to reduce the haze. Grad on the grass and de-saturated slightly to negate...

Some Images - CC Please
Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments and assistance! I purposefully posted some that I thought were 'difficult' to see what CC I could get and I think it's been a very worthwhile exercise. I really like Alan's re-working of #1, this is by far my favourite. All were shot without a ND grad, ...

Hand held in the garden
Thanks for all the useful comments people. Geordie1: I'm going to try my reading glasses instead of the vari-focals. David: Info from photome f9 1/125 iso 800. Apart from lots of practice I should have picked a calmer day too :) Algernon: You're probably right. Tried sharpening with (a) ...

Straight Black and white
Take it on B&W Film and expose more for the actual Statue not the sky and put an orange filter over the lens to darken the sky and it would come out GREEEEEAT ! Here are two I did on my free Kodak Brownie Box Camera model D -- I held a fiter over the lens of one -- it was old Ilford Delta 400 fi...

Glorious weather in the lakes
Many thanks for all your comments! I hadn't appreciated that IR was such a marmite topic with people :oops: I had always been fascinated with such images and after some dismal attempts using an IR filter, I jumped at the chance to purchase a converted K20 off a fellow forum member. It's taken som...

ND10 seascape FAILS
There have been some quite astonishingly good sets on the 'Your Photos Forum' this weekend. I therefore feel the need to balance this talent with some examples of howling incompetence. These represent some of my efforts getting to grips with an ND10 filter by the sea in Sconny Botland a couple of we...

Indian Summer - a few Butterfly Pics
I agree that more DOF would have been ideal here, if possible with the lighting available. Maybe you could have got away with a stop or more on the ISO David? Did you dial in any minus exposure compensation? Hi Nigel, no there was no exposure compensation here, but the ones shot with the Sigma 1...
