The kind words are much appreciated McGregNi & Gareth!

To answer your question Gareth, yes, the images are stacks of filters. For this set I do the following:

1. Filter B/W set to IR
2. Combine with Customer Filter tweaking Brightness, Contrast, and Sharpness, depending on Image (most settings are just plus or minus 1 or 2 points)
3. Filter to add White Border

Hope that helps!

Cheers! Yes, saw that leaning St. Pauls, but decided to stick with the theme of the set (in-camera processing). Well spotted though!

I really like the effect! Wouldn't call him an ex-con, more like a good stunt double for Bruce Willis! Ha!

Would be very much interested in a tut. if you get the time to do one.

Hello all. A great zoom lens for the price! No introduction necessary. The legendary "budget master" Tamron 70-300.

Condition used, the lens cap has some scruff marks from when I bought it, but the lens/optics are clean with no dust/fungus! Great condition for a used lens.

I really like the lens, but feel that I can do more with an upgrade. For samples of images taken using this lens, please take a look at the following link:

Price is £70 including RMSD. Thanks for looking!

It's been a LONG time since I shared some photos here. Alas, work has been HARD!

A few photos taken using my K5, and "budget master" Tammy 70-300 lens.

Oh, and all the photos were "post-processed" in-camera, save for the resizing which I did in a batch using IrfanView.

Answered a few PM's regarding Sigma 70mm Macros. A bit surprised! Still waiting for offers on DA 70mm 2.4, Samyang 85 1.4, Pentax 100 2.8 Macro WR and the D-BG4 battery grip.
