One of the things the internet has taught me, is that no matter how obscure a subject may seem, there are far more people interested in it to an unhealthy degree, than any sane person could possibly imagine.

The trick is to learn to filter out the "noise".

Here's a thought - no one knows, remembers or cares, what make of brushes or brands of paint Michaelanglo used! In the end its just the results that count.

The person who wrote this made me laugh:-

What I sometimes find amusing is that he is out there taking state of the art pictures, while we are in here talking about the limitations of the camera and counting pixels.

To adapt an old english saying: Those who can, do, those who cannot, moan about it.

To me her pose looks a little awkward, with her neck twisted a little too far towards her shoulder, and the catchlights in her eyes look a little too large and bright. On the other hand I shouldn't comment too much as my experience of photographing models under studio lights is nada, zip.

Ned Bunnell has posted some sample pictures take with this lens here http://nedbunnell.blogspot.com/2007/03/test-photos.html. Note that they were taken with a pre-production lens, but they look fine to me (and please don't mention the sharpness!)

Trouble with Swans is that they are so blinking white! They are very hard to capture well, and if you do manage not to blow out any part of them, then they often look too dark and "muddy". All things considered I think you did a pretty good job there under the circumstances.

Is the washed-out part easily salvageable?

Was the original shot in RAW or JPG? RAW would give you more room for adjustment, but either way, the highlights look pretty well blown to me, and I doubt you'd get much detail back.

I like the colours on that Teal. I think I would have looked for a shot where part of the duck wasn't obscured by vegetation.

Ooh Errr...and my company paid out it's annual bonus today. Do I splurge it on several Sigmas or one of the Pentax DA* lenses? Horns, dilemma, etc.
