I like the bright colours against the very dark background but the chopped off arms :

I have to agree about the chopped arms...but by eck.. they move fast at that age and I couldn't keep up.

I hear what you are saying Don It was never planned as a portrait, but when I saw the face full of expression and the bubbles, I thought, "mmm. I wonder what paintshop can do to bring them up a bit?"

But I thought I'd show it here and get opinion.
I took this as a snap shot whilst the kids were playing, but when I looked at it llater, I saw something in it I thought I could use ( with the help of paintshop)

I don't know whether it is more of a family snap than a portrait.... What do you reckon?

I've got to agree with Don. Go for magnetic archive rather than optical and make two copies ( at least ) HDDs are cheap enough these days.

Having said that, I haven't got that many photos to archive....yet

But I when I have important data to archive in work, it only ever goes to magnetic. ( HDD, Tape, etc )

I am used to the slpit screenof my SuperME and must admit, I prefer it to the focus screen on my istDL.
So...I saw this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Split-Image-Focusing-Microprism-Screen-Pentax-ist-D-DL_W0Q...

What do you think? Are they necessary, or should I learn to love what Pentax fitted to the istD ?

Had a look at the fly original on Flickr.
My reaction was (and is)...NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
That is excellent!

Lovely part of the country, which I think, you've captured beautifully.

take #1 into photoshop (elements)
duplicate layer
set top layer to :blend mode, multiply. (adjust opacity (till it looks good)).
filter add noise, (mono, gaussian, whatever amount looks good)

let us know how that works for you.

It's Paintshop Pro 9 I've got, but that must have similar features. I'll have a play and show the results

Thanks Mike. So there's hope for me yet

I liked number 2 as well, but I love the lines in number 1. As you said, this time I interacted with it, down on hands and knees, people asking me what I was doing. But, do know what...I really enjoyed it

Well, thank you folks for all the encouragement. As I said in the original thread, I was going back armed with your advice, and try to make something of the subject.
I played around with depth of field and mono.
I've put on a few pictures which I think are the best of the bunch.

C&C much appreciated
