they record the same information so far as I know but PEF is better compressed then DNG by the body. You can shoot in PEF and use the DNG converter from Adobe to convert them to DNG by the computer, they're much better compressed then by the camera.

I use the sharpening in another layer with the layer mode in luminosity, I do that with all the filters and sometimes I use different layer mode so you can keep on editing and tweaking till your done. I do mostly first the clean up though before I do anything else, except CA that get's removed in the end.

Yea a e-book about photoshoping would be great since it gets more and more important

Great editing Pete, you've put much more time in it then just my click on a button
could you please crop it at 100% zoom for me of the head with some of his right wing?

hmmm... don't know if I like the colour martin but I do like the crop.

everyone like the bird except me.
Thank you very much for your comment and about the DOF, these are my lucky ones
The colours comes mostly from the lens and a soft light layer of 30% is helping it a little
But other then that only a bit of sharpening

I've an AF-540FGZ and I use it in manual most of the time, it's the only way you know for sure what he is doing

that also counts for the sensor but those have 2 greens, 1 blue & 1 red
but that's a bit harder to calculate because the processor mix the information of the surounding pixels together so I don't know how we should proceed from this point, any suggestions?

Amin,
I've updated the photo in my other comment with a cropped version of the large one.
here the full version if you wan't to have it link

Have done it with one press on a button
I use this sharpening on all my photos so made it into an action in photoshop, nothing really difficult and alot came forum this actually.
What program do you use?
I saw that you've gimp but not everything can be done in there but you can come really close so if you've photoshop that would be great?

You make a point there but you do need information to sharpen with and the image must be good in focus... it isn't such a wonder tool that you think it is, if the photo was out of focus or blurred by movement you can forget this kind of sharpening

Amin,
It's just polite to ask if you can upload a photo of someone else, I wouldn't like it either if someone would upload my photo without asking.
I'm here also very new and many can learn me a lot of stuff and I'm als thirsty to gain some knowledge

well here is the shot from earlier since the link isnt working for me (using opera)

better :

Well as the title say my first upload here so please give me some good comment so that I can learn

The first time I use the D-FA 100mm on some close focus subjects. Threw half of the photos away because of the very shallow DOF
No crop btw, it's pitty his right wing isn't fully in the shot.



Some normall photos with the lens, the wolf is quite heavily cropped!




All not so special but please leave a comment just in photography for a year so every advise is very welcome

I really would like to have some creative ideas on this one, really want to do something with it but just don't know what



all photo's done with the D-FA 100mm macro on a K10D.
Some landscapes are laying in the freezer here, just didn't have time to work on them but they will come soon I hope.

Thank you all for looking!

This are your choices I'm afraid for modern flash link
Try too pick some from the list you think are for you and try them out in the shop because they all work diffrently, some use dials others buttons etc.

Also get Matt's ebook, I heard it's good
still need to make a paypall account
