Love the aircraft images, not the sort of images we generally see here

Great, great work, the processing is effective without being in your face

Calling the feature "HDR" was probably a mistake IMO. That image has worked well and isn't HDR at all, it's simply exposure stacking order to bring up the shadows with less noise ) .

Im sorry to hear that. I too have a K5 but have always been happy with its output....until i calibrated the lenses using the in camera AF tuning!
An absolute revelation, the most surprising thing, apart from a step up in sharpness and clarity was that all the lenses were AF tuned to the same amount!
I wish you were nearer to me and i would gladly help

I've just come back from holiday (Orlando) where the weather was really good and bright but my K5 is still having focusing trouble.
I've looked at fine tuning to lenses but I'm really lost.
Is there a member close to me (Coventry) that would kindly take me under there wing and help my set up my 3 lenses.
I will travel and pay for the help
I'm slowly losing faith in this camera and would pick up my K20 rather than the K5

P.S. Any chance you could clone out the wooden sign?
Why on earth would you want to clone out the sign? It's an integral part of the composition and gives some context to the image.P.S. Any chance you could clone out the wooden sign?

Thank you for the heads up, I'm in my element looking at footage like this, I was a very, very young embryo at the time

Absolutely stunning for your first time attempt, your technical no how in correcting the converging verticals is also very well executed

I have the PS & Lightroom bundle subscription, it works for me because I use two high end Macs one of which is solely dedicated to Final Cut Pro and Logic X taking care of my video & audio production. The Premiere (video editing) & PS Elements bundle seems good value, bear in mind that PS Elements is an extremely weak version of the CC monthly bundle of PS CC.
Saying that, unless you are a long term user of the full version of PS you won't see what you are missing and maye quite happy with the basics (compared to PS CC).
After using PS Elements for a while and seeing BOTH the benefits & limitations it brings to your image manipulation you may feel you should have gone for CC PS & Lightroom, especially if video is not that important to you.
You will also need a pretty fast machine with above average Graphics Capability to take care of the more sophisticated rendering processes available using PS CC.
If you plan making money from your studio you owe it to yourself & your clients to have the best possible software for your particular needs.

Folks,
I currently use Adobe Lightroom 4 boxed version but am keen to start exploring the possibilities of Photoshop and so have been reviewing what to buy. I'm in the process of setting up a dedicated room in the house as a portrait studio.
The two options I am considering are:
Photoshop CC plus Lightroom for £8.78 a month (think the price doubles after the first year)
Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere elements boxed bundle £62.99 on Amazon.
Just wondering if anyone has any views on which is the best deal?
thanks,
Saxon

In agreement?
Maybe a wedding date should be announced

Nothing to criticise, wonderful seeing an everyday piece of nature from an extraordinary viewpoint
