I would try to set up a good test situation first. Taking pictures through glass will nearly always affect lens performance, and the longer the focal length the worst the affect will be. Get outside and try again using a tripod. Try several shots with slightly varied focus 'cos I find I can't always trust my eyes 100% on a matt focusing screen. Try subjects at different distances too. I don't think you will get brilliant results from a front converter though.

A polarising filter might cut some of the reflections on your highly polished cars.

I just have to take pictures of the moon! This one from my back garden with a little haze. Tamron 500m mirror lens.

I like it, which is saying a lot for me 'cos not many black and white photos do anything for me, or portrait landscapes for that matter. The view through the hole in the wall seems to give a glimpse of another place altogether from the world outside.

Thanks for the tips everyone. You've given me plenty to go on.

Having only just progressed to shooting in RAW this last seven days, I have come to the first dull day. What are the best settings for making the photo look less dull and lifeless? I am using Silkypix.

Looks like a focusing problem to me. The number on the side of the red boat is nearly in focus. You said it was quite dark and this may be the reason for the error. Now, if we had split screen focusing like in the good old days, this probably wouldn't happen.

The white feathers on this swan are over exposed. I took it in jpeg, can anything be done to rectify the problem? Cosina 50mm lens bought in 1979
