Please post, i-Berg.
Thanks,

Thanks, Dave.

Don't be "sorry".....I'm not, & never will be, over honest, legitimate crit.

I find it a moot point, whether to record nature as is, (black mark, "dead stuff"), or, for aesthetic reasons, "improve" the image.

No. 2 is not a reverse of no.1, rather the black spot is common to both images, no.2 being part of the group to the right of no.1, if you see what I mean?!

I'd be interested on your view on the subsequent post.

Many thanks for your thoughts & comments,

Roger.

Sorry, ran out of time on ph.Bucket

The blooms nearly all gone, some poppy images from the garden this afternoon.

C&C welcome.

Andrew,

I thought you might...!?

I can't remember whose it is but someone has the by-line (& I am probably mis-quoting):

No amount of equipment can take the place of an ability to notice.

I hope I / we all can continue to develope that skill, surely a major contributory factor in any "good" image.

Thanks to you all for your kind encouragement.

Best Regards,

Roger.

Thanks, George.

You're right. Cropped is better, all the content now seems to have more relevance to the whole image.

Have adjusted the exposure but didn't like an increase in contrast.

Waiting for that rainy day?

C&C Please.

All been done before, I know, but...

On the original, on my monitor, when I zoom in on the spray of droplets, each one has made a "star-trail" because of the (too slow) shutter speed.
but, each droplet has diffracted the sunlight to an indivual colour of the spectrum!


& I think it looks lovely.

Is this effect visible to all?

Comments, please.

Thanks, John.
I've had a play & it wasn't very clear but I think you're right.
Not only must the individual tool (soft) be off but the whole array as well.
Every day, a little further on!

Thanks again to all,

roger.

Gareth, further to your mention of the "soft" setting, checked the settings on the K7 & found that, indeed, "soft" is available, but none of the digital tweaks was on. Looking at the metadata in the properties files for some of my other pictures, all have the "soft" setting shown.

Q.: How do I turn it off if it's not on?

Thanks,
Coker.
