Just a few milimeters to the left of the mirror see the image how it splits? Its as if there are two images or a reflection of different light or mirror, sort of complicated to explain. But looking at it you can see something odd along the vertical line there, the image to the right of that vertical axis seems to be coming from a different source or lighting or something of the sort.

But I might be really seeing things where they dont exist , with my inexperience, but it just seems a bit odd part of that image. Even the colours are split exactly from that vertical axis.

Hi everyone







I am a newbie and still learning the technicalities of DSLR, so I needed some help understanding what might have happened on this image. I was editing and suddenly found something strange on the right hand side of the image. As if another image just overlapped on the first one, or something of the kind. Can someone please shed some light on this?

I was using a Pentax 16-45mm with it and have no clue on what this could be. So far this seems to be the only one that came out like this.

The second photo was taken from the same spot as the twig on the right hand side is a reference point

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

[quote:3496ace15f="gartmore"]Well you could apply the same technique to the left hand slider and move it to the first bump on the histogram and get a little more punch. All of this is completely subjective of course. I've staightened the horizon too, using the staighten tool set to 'crop to remove background'

Ken,

thank you very much for the help. Its amazing the details I notice that are different now from the edited pic. When I look at the red in the corner amongst other areas I notice precisely what you mean by "punch".

And the horizon straightening, one full lesson learnt today. Thanks a lot. Off I go now to practise on a bunch of the snaps taken yesterday.

Thanks again for your help

Amin

Would the Exposure on this one be ok in your opinion or have I overdone it? Like the previous one it was way underexposed so I used the technique you very kindly taught me in the PSE

Ken, is this how it should look? , I think I just got it, a fraction slightly underexposed compared to what you achieved. But I got the details now on how you manipulated on this one.
Thanks again for such great help and eye opener

Gosh, is this really my photo? The same one I shot? . Yup, this is what I had in mind when I shot it. Seems I got to try those settings next time I get into that situation. And learn those PSE tricks.

Thank yo so much

Hi everyone

With the weather out there yesterday I enjoyed taking my K20D and taking some shots. Most time I had my Pentax 16-45mm lens attached to it.

My worry is obviously I couldn't avoid the icicles falling on to the body and lens (more on the inner tube as the zoom extended). Now I am quite comfortable knowing the the K20D is water and dust proof but perhaps some of you more experienced ones could help me out and put my mind to rest. I couldn't avoid noticing quite a few droplets of water on the inner tube when I came in so what do you usually do? Its easy to wipe it off obviously once I come in and am not going to use it for a little while, but while outside and taking shots, and zooming, would there be any damage to the lens? Because the tube retrieves and extends constantly as I zoom and the icicles keep on melting turning into water droplets.

Any help would be much appreciated please.

Thanks

Amin

One located outside London, in Pinner, although I admit many would still consider these parts as London

Apologies for the quality of the image but I am still on the bottom of the learning curve and getting to grips with settings compositions etc.

Kris, sorry getting a piggy ride on your thread, hope you dont mind

I also struggle with PSE while editing, still in early stages of learning it also, so perhaps someone could give me some tips on how to edit and make the image best for a size to display here or even as a link. I have a suspicion the image is too large. I always get confused when I open the IMAGE option on the PSE and what to use from there. I tend to go to RESIZE and play around with the details there.

Thanks

Amin

Thanks Stefan,

Certainly sounds like a wise option. Going to give it a deep thought and decide. I certainly am keen on giving a go at remote operating the K20

Thanks again for everyone with helpful suggestions and recommendations. Quite appreciated.

Amin

Hey am I missing something or I am just slow at picking up things? . What is Stefan talking about? And then there is talk about partying and beer etc. I am definitely not in tune so kind of lost.

I know I am not quite up to date so please throw me some hint. I thought we brits were the fastest, we have Lewis Hamilton HAA!! .
