Some from Liverpool

Taken when I visited Liverpool during a business trip, K10d with 16-45 lens fitted, so some large crops.

C & C to assist with progress please

Some nice compositions, but quite a lot of noise. What ISO were you using?

I suspect the high amount of cropping is revealing the image noise on some of these.

I was using ISO 100, and I did see the noise when I cropped, so maybe for the crops should have used a different lens and zoomed in ?

The compositions is where I struggle, but I am learning and these comments and looking at them myself will help me.

Regards and thanks

The images are fine and nothing wrong with the composition, this lens is a good lens do you not have any software to reduce the noise,

Jack.

Hi Jack,
I do not have any software for noise reduction, I only have PSE 6.

What is good software for noise reduction?

Colin there are lots of free software programs, most use photoshop I don't use it to time consuming, download Picasa 3 it's good to get started with

Colin,

Good job with these, given your focus was on composition (and thus by extension, also on choosing your subjects). The noise was the thing I homed in on too, but that's a separate issue.

On the Gondola shot, check out the metal beam above the RHS of the actual gondola itself. There's a spiral shadow - did you shoot that one through glass? It doesn't seem to be replicated in any of the other shots in this series.

You'd be happy with these IMO.

Hi i-Berg,
That's sensor dust, I did not see that when I did my editing.

Regards

Hi Jack & Garath,
I downloaded neat image (the free version) not studied it completely but this is the result from one of the shots.

I think its an improvement over the original.
