I really like the 'lo=fi' quality of the last shot.
I like the slightly distorted / grainy background. How did you achieve this?

Agree with spider, there is something sinister about it.

I would enter this one.

Probably been asked before on here, but I want to upgrade my kit.
Eventually I would like to get a K20, (currently have a K100D) but in the meantime, is the 16-45 lense worth getting to replace the standard kit lense that I have or is there not much difference?

The ropes add a sense of size and purpose to the cross. I think without them it would look more surreal/pretty which is good, but on this occasion, I believe that the essence of the cross is what it is.

Every Easter a cross is raised near where I live on Otley Chevin.
It is made out of wood recovered from the Manchester IRA bombings.
It symbolises that good can come from hatred and evil.
I ran off a few shots whilst walking Belle up there tonight and here are a couple of them.

Do you have to fire off a number of shots on a tripod first and can hdr be done in CS4

I've just taken a few shots outdoors at f22 iso 200 (this is min iso on k100d) and correct exposure time is only 3 secs.

I want to achieve shots lasting much longer than this, say 1 or 2 minutes.

Am I correct in thinking that to combine an ND8 with the 64x filter, I would then get 8 x 3 seconds?

I've just bought a B&W ND filter ND 1.8 64X.
I was expecting to be able to do some very long exposures (30 seconds or so) with it, but it only offers about 2 to 4 seconds to achieve correct exposure.

Any idea which filter I need, or should I get another one, ie. can they be combined and used together?

In order to add the film grain effect is it better to use a photoshop plug in? as opposed to setting a high ISO on the camera?

Also, how much can you push the ISO in a digital SLR before you start to get the noise?

Cheers for replies. If they are sensor noise, I am considering getting a K20D when funds permit. Would this camera still display sensor noise when using high iso/low light?

I took the 2 shots after each other with the same camera settings. K100D, Manual SMC M 40-80 lense, ISO 1600

The first shot is ok but the second one seems to have horizontal lines running across it about 2/3rds of the way down. Anyone know what they are or what causes them?
