Nice image, but the highlights on the building look a bit blown to me....are they rescuable? I think a bit more detail in the stonework would improve this shot a lot.

I love the rays, but I agree with Kris and Tony about the crop: the blown area of sky is so big that it detracts from the picture. There's also some flare, so a letterbox crop would improve this greatly.

This site provides free video tutorials and I think is worth a look before you splash out any wonga....They get all their revenue from advertising but you don't have to buy anything. Not an awful lot of stuff on there, however, but there's numerous similar sites if you google them...

Ok I will try that, thanks!

Comment by aliengrove posted on K-7 slow to process RAW images after installing firmware 1.1 at 25/09/2010 - 04:41

I have just updated the firmware to V1.1 and have the same problem as Wadna. Unfortunately I can still only shoot 4 frames in continuous, after a reset. Also, after performing the reset, several of the menu items I had changed since getting the camera had not actually reset to defaults: in fact, the only settings that appeared to change after a reset were highligh and shadow correction, file type and the horizon indiacator. Any ideas??

If I hadn't bought the Tokina 80-400 recently I'd be very keen on the Tamron 60-300, especially as it accepts the 2x converter that came with my Adaptall Tamron 90mm macro lens....

I am wondering if the chap selling it had been reading this thread, as he's just upped the price $50... If you do a google search on the lens this thread comes out at the top.....

Some lovely shots there: I like the foyer shot, coffee and ciagrette, and the first portrait.

However, I think posting 22 shots in one thread is a bit OTT. Apart from making it dificult to comment as Kris said, it can take ages to load for those on slower connections. Better to put a few of the best ones and provide a link for anyone wanting to see the rest?

Great capture, the background sets the bird off really well.

As if Hasselblads weren't expensive enough without adding a Ferrari badge....

Why anyone would want to identify their camera with a car manufacturer is beyond me. Great concept Ferrari have with their branding, get the punter to pay huge amounts to advertise for them.

Have to admit it looks nice though.
