Truck day Image heavy
Hi Derek, good set. If shooting wide open (f4) on a bright day, is it better to just increase shutter speed or adjust exposure compensation or a combo of both. ? Derek. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve with the shot. Shoot at lowest ISO (i tend to shoot TAV with auto ISO...

Poppies
Love the first one. With second I'd use grad filter in lightroom to get sky like the one you got and proper green on the bottom. On the side note: how can I find out where are poppy or rapeseed or anything like that around where I live? I looked at google maps to see where are the fields around m...

TDF Day 3
I did tweak the contrast a little as the light was so flat but I think it might be the high pass filter that is making them a bit strident. Without it they looked soft but I may have set it too strong.

latest stuff from walks and danders
Thanks guys much appreciated can't correct lens distortion with manual lenses unfortunately Alastair I think that needs to be clarified. Certainly automatic camera processed lens corrections require more modern lenses, in fact it has to be a DA series I believe? Not sure about FA series? But as p...

Coombe Gardens, a Colour Blast
A nice colourful set, Nigel. I agree with most of the other comments here and would like to ask whether these shots were all taken in the same session? The reason I ask is that they seem to make two groups - in 1, 4, 5 and 6, compared with 2, 3 and 7, the white balance seems different, and the sky/c...

K7 Visits Dorset .... the 1st Overview
Great set, Nigel. An area I know very well so it's good to get someone else's take on compositions that I don't always 'see', if you get my drift. Regards Nigel Thanks Nigel! I didn't get the chance to get down to the purple heather at Studland, after seeing your pics, but as we were leaving I s...

Water On The Edge
Looking at these on a tablet David. Water doesn't look natural. Far too dark compared to the sky. Probably just the tablet I haven't darkened it Alan, this is how they were, but it may also be the effect of the Polarising Filter that has made it look darker. Without the filter the shots wouldn't ha...

Blea Tarn
I'm interested to read Nigel's views on clouds and I don't think that in general the skies on my landscape images are overdone. The main reason for using ND Grads (for me) is to balance the brightness of the sky and avoid overly heavy shadow areas on the landscape. If course it also enables flexib...

Blea Tarn
None of this can distract from the achievement of Carl's excellent shots, we all agree on that, and we seem to agree also on the special compositional quality of the last one. Its good when images raise points of interest - it certainly adds to the number of replies and views, and thats always a...

Derwent Dilemma
Carl, I agree, 4 is the one - the only one really I think .. the others just don't work because the massive jetty cuts off the whole right side - it seems frustrating, you just want to climb up over it and see something! 4 is a lovely composition - I maybe wish for a higher viewpoint, I'm not su...

Towards Hope Valley
Couple of shots from a walk over Stanage Edge in the week. The light was a bit difficult, both shots taken handheld with the K3 and DA* 16-50, no filter - wish I had a polariser on. 1. The path 2. The View Thanks for looking,

Five in a Row - my eclectic mix
I love the lighting in this, the detail in the rocks and the almost 'Red Filter' sky (for those who remember using film :wink:) Of course a couple of climbers would give it scale but for me it's about those towering peaks and the light

Five in a Row - my eclectic mix
With #4 I think it's the lack of drama in the sky, so I hope you don't mind. I had a play with the graduated filter in LR.

The Brewery Inn
The option always exists to clone out the telegraph pole, but I've been steadily moving away from doing so. I just feel we can see a place as it really is, minimising distractions by viewpoint maybe, but not actually altering reality. On the other hand, if the pole intrudes some may well prefer t...

Five in a row_K10D
Gary No. 4 - Like the others I'm afraid, it doesn't work for me. No.5 is back to your usual standard. I think you've controlled the exposure really well. It would have been really easy to lose the detail in the shadows, but they're all there. I also like the structure in the rock and the det...

October colours
Hi John, hope you are well? Thanks for posting these images, I envy you being in the Lakes even if the weather is bad! For me the colours look a bit 'off' in all of these shots, it looks as though the yellow and red tones are too prominent, which gives the shots an overall colour cast. I th...

October colours
Thanks for the comments, on both sets so far posted, David. One more set still to come, but I will review those first in the light (excuse the pun!) of your comments. The autumn colours looked a bit cold to me straight out of the camera, so I adjusted the white balance to warm them up and probably o...

Cat Bells across Derwentwater
I agree with Alan's comments here John, it is a 'must' for good landscapes to use the lowest possible ISO. A tripod is your best friend here, not only to allow 100 ISO to be used, but also to allow the flexibility for other effects, such as long exposures with a 10 stop filter, or an infra-red filt...

Antique Whitby
You can see a few images in my EPZ blog, from today's trip to Whitby. One of the things I tried was the Antique Colour filter on the Q-S1. I quite liked the effect, so here are some images processed in camera, with a final tweak in Photoshop. These are not in the blog.

Antique Whitby
That's a very effective filter, John. I do like the effect. It's something I try to do from time to time when post processing but these are much better. I am fond of Whitby: we've happy memories of holidays spent in Yorkshire.
