Thanks folks - John you are right, I reckon the DA35 is really good with colours - better I think than my DFA 100, in fact overall I think the DA 35 is a little wonder. Tim you are probably right on the first on relfection - I'll have a bit of a play with it and see if I can lift it a little

Cheers all

Hi Lazydaisy. You will probably find that people here use a whole array of different software packages for editing images... You state that you are looking at Adobe products... there are three that I know of: Photoshop, Lightroom and Photoshop Elements. And I believe they run in that order for price (i.e Photoshop most expensive, Photoshop elements least so). Personally I use Photoshop Elements version 8. It cost me about £50 I think (although I upgraded from a previous version). It is a powerful tool and enables all sorts of adjustments to be made - from the very subtle to very overt. It also includes a RAW editor (I always shoot images in RAW so this is handy) and a further program called Bridge which I haven't used (:shock but i think it enables workflow/organisation of images.

Photohop is the big brother image manipulation package, and is a lot more expensive. Lightroom sits in between in price and I'm afraid I don't know much about it.

Of course there is also an image editor which would have come bundled with your K-X I would have thought, and there are also other free packages available through the web - such as in Picasa - although others will know more than I. There is a lot of choice.

I went with Photoshop elements because it was readily available, reasonably priced, looked capable and pretty intuitive (to my mind) and having plumped for it have had no reason to change -although I'd bet I only use 10% of it's functionality...

Don't know if that helps at all

Regards

Hello all. I was out in the gardens of Pembroke lodge pretty early this morning and whilst they're a little passed the best of the season there is still a fair bit of colour around, so I thought I would give the DA35 ltd a bit of a run out. Here's a handful. Any C&C appreciated.

First up a (not quite pristine) yellow bloom



Some tiny violet flowers:



A hoverfly (and chum), somewhat over-awed at the surroundings (?):



And another - with shiny armour



Finally, a deep red flower:



Hope you like them.

I agree - I think this is a cracking set of wedding pictures and I would be delighted to have an album of shots like this if it were me.

Nice work

What a good set Andrew (as usual). I have a couple of weeks annual leave coming up soon and your photo sets always inspire me to plan days out! Found Items is a beaut (thought so from the Gallery too) but I also find myself drawn to the Blacksmith's tools... not sure why. Think maybe I'd like to have a go at some of that metal-bashing...

Regards

Nice work - a very cool pic to my mind - nicely taken

Regards

Nice shots! and a great subject. I really like the second one - head on!

Regards

How fantastic - well done indeed!

I agree - some lovely shots; it looks as if it was a nice day - I really like the pic of your dog (although a tiny point would be that one of his feet has just been slightly cropped off).

It took me a couple of goes to get to grips with posting images from flickr - and it's changed now that flickr have modified their interface recently...

You need to go to the drop down menu above the pic which says 'share this' or similar, then go to 'grab the html' and that brings up a box with a couple of long-winded looking web addresses in it. You just need to highlight the http: link which ends in .jpg, copy it, and then, when typing an entry in the forum, paste it between the square bracketted symbols which appear in the comment box when you click the 'image' button below the text box and voila! (hopefully)... just need to make sure as well that you're taking the html of the right-sized version of the pic (there is a drop down menu for that within the 'grab the html' box on flickr...

Hope that helps

Regards

All the best Simon!
