A Window in Chichester Cathedral:

This was captured on a bright sunny day in July, using a Pentax K-5 II and the 18-135mm WR zoom. It was shot hand-held, in the Auto HDR Mode with Auto Align on. Settings were: f=60mm, ISO 1600, 1/250s, f/5.6, and Auto WB. The resulting full-size premium-quality camera JPEG has been processed for: vertical perspective correction, unsharp mask, and bicubic resampling to web size, using PaintShop Pro X6.

Cheers.
Philip

Love the new crop of #4. The dawn sun on the buildings, in the peaks of the waves, and the vapour trail. Just brilliant.

I agree - that's the one I wanted to see. Wonderful.

Cheers.

I doubt I would have risked a brand new camera around all that splashing salty water, but I'm glad you did, Alan - the results are very pleasing. My preference would be for number 4, but in the format of number 3!

Cheers.

A wonderful flower - I've never seen that before. Well-photographed, John.

Cheers.

As for the 6.5 m photo......well it just proves how dumb some people are with their money

Or, perhaps, very clever - if he can sell it in a year or two for 7.5, 8.5 or even 10 million. Nothing should surprise in the world of "art"!

Cheers.

Thank you Kris. Nice place to work (although I suppose it depends on what the work was).

Cheers.

You are right, Christopher. It was a dull day with grey cloud cover, some quite dark. Your observation re. the ridge tiles is also correct, but it is entirely my fault. It was a rushed job just to see what was possible - I made a duplicate layer to alter the sky, and didn't take enough care with the brush at the roof line.

Cheers.

Nigel, does this qualify as minor or major colour balance error? - The White Balance was accidentally left on Tungsten from the evening before this shot of a church on a cloudy day:

This was result of applying Auto white balance in ACR and the Auto corrections in Elements 10:

It was then edited further in PaintShop Pro X6:

The original blue image was a 16MP 4-star JPEG image from the K-5 II.

Cheers.

What you describe is also my experience, John. I would also add that adjustments to the camera JPEG files can be made in software, without any discernible loss of quality up to at least A3. There is no doubt that the maths shows more latitude in Raw data files but, most of the time, I have not found it to be necessary in producing the final image. But again, to each his/her own.

Cheers.

...I don't agree with your characterisation of camera jpegs as 1 hour photos ... We do have quite respectable on camera controls for adjusting the shots...

+1

Also, 1 hour photos from a shop are not usually developed by the photographer, whereas JPEGs, particularly the large 4-star files from our DSLRs, can be extensively adjusted (although 'extensively' is rarely necessary) in photo software, including ACR.

Cheers.
