Mine had a horrible green cast to them.
For future ref can this cast be removed in elements (I don't have Lightroom)?
If you were to take an image of a photographer's grey card whilst using the elder's glass, you would have an accurate colour reference which you could then use to adjust all of the images in a batch.

Thanks Mike. I think at these high ISO speeds, the images are suited to being reproduced in smaller sizes so your mobile is a good example.

I think this is about as high as I would go and still expect to get some usable web images. C & C always appreciated.

All shot at ISO 25600 with the K5 + DA* 60-250mm. #3 @ f8, the rest @ f4.

Fortunately the world does not revolve around Apple products, but I agree that the PPG does need a facelift.

It's not chrome, or silver coloured . . . it's TITANIUM.

Bet you'd feel better about owning one now.

Here's a few more . . . It's fair to say that these images would not tolerate huge enlargement for printing, but I think they'd be perfectly acceptable for an article in print or the web. The last three were taken with the DA* 50-135mm at f2.8. Personally, I think the images from the DA* 60-250mm at f4 are better.

There's a bit of a halo around the seated artist's face in this one and no, that's not Rebekah Brooks

What noise reduction software did you use on the flamenco pics?
Processed only in Lightroom 3, then output as JPG, into Picasa for posting to the web. Picasa changes the colours very slightly. Annoying.

PP work - Cropped & rotated as required, reduced exposure a tad, a bit of highlight recovery, a small amount of fill light to reveal shadow detail. Sharpness at 55, Luminance NR at 22, all other settings at default.

The first pic of the cathedral gives an impression of how far back I was. I did take up a position more centrally and behind the sound/light mixing desk, but the engineer kept getting in my way. I think he comes out of hospital soon .

I need a 'togs vest with 'Prensa' on the back of it. It's Spanish for 'Press', but that's not an instruction
