Hasn't this subject been done before, by Scott if I remember. Wasn't there a poll as well....

Paul

Paul, I consider this to be a rare shot and congratulate you for having the balls to ask.

Two of my brothers are in the police, Met and City. They love their jobs and I have a lot of respect for them.

Well done for capturing a great shot

I think you should consider doing that because yout style of photography would be great and would tell a story that rarely gets told.

Paul

Ok so you haven't had a decent play with it yet, but that's not bad going to get that variety of birds in that short space of time.

My advice to you is to pick a good day and really test it.
I also like the short focusing distance that it has throughout the focal range. Although it's not a macro as such, the close shots are pretty good.


Paul

I have the 120-400mm and find it a very good lens indeed. I use it more or less everyday and find it very reliable. I also love the size and weight of it. Take it out on a bright day with none of that pesky wind and you will have some fantastic shots.

How long have you had it?


Paul

From my experiences with SRS, they may not be the cheapest store but by gum they know what they are talking about. The advice I got was unbelievable and they are always willing to help.

Scott you would not have got this service if you had bought anywhere else!

Paul

Is there a chance that you could take it back and get another just in case it is the lens at fault.

I tend to agree with you about the HSM. I find that it does hunt for something to lock on to, especially when photographing a feathered friend.
The HSM is certainly quiet but I find that the non HSM are quicker but obviously louder.

I do like my new lens alot but often think whether I should have kept the 170-500mm as it was very reliable

Paul

I tried this Effect when I first bought the K20 but found it quite useless and have never used it again.
There is one effect that I use now and again and that is the soft focus, it's always handy to see what an image would like before mucking around in PS. It saves it as a copy so the original is safe.



Paul

I guess it's because I want two images, one with the watermark and one which I keep in a seperate folder for my clients.

Ok fair enough, I hope I didn't come across rude, I do that sometimes but I in no way mean it.
I was given a book similar to the one you described as a gift. I got a bit out of it but gave up. I looked at the program and got the jist of the basics myself. Now and again I learn differnt things.

Anyway, I'm glad you got your query sorted, sorry for poking my nose in


Paul

Edited: Spelling mistake

I have read the thread before but unless I am being really silly, well I can't understand why it's so hard to do this.

Is it just the one image that you want to add txt to?

If it is then why don't you just select the tool from the side toolbar shaped like a "T" and just write on the image.

I use CS3 & 4 but have also previoulsly used Elements 5 & 6. They are all the same.

I'm just a tad confused
