#1 for me as well, though not much between them.

I have used PT lens but since using SilkyPix I find that it does allow enough corrections in most cases. I love the CA correction of SilkyPix as well.

I would suggest to shoot RAW as well. You always can convert to JPG in Picasa (even so it is not the best of convertors) if the shots are spot on. If they are not your buggered with JPGs alone.

On the topic of adapters I have taken a slightly different approach. I have a set of Cokin filters and adapters. So I screw on the filter holder adapters, one side was done like it is supposed to, the other adapter I slid in one of the filter holders. It's not bomb proof but held together well enough for some work on the table top. Only test shots so far. Here's one example with my Ricoh 50 mm reversed on the Sigma 105 mm. The square on the paper is 5 x 5 mm. The "vignetting" on the bottom is the shadow of the contraption (I used the desk lamp as lighting). No sharpening applied

Daniel, thanks for the effort you have obviously put in. And congratulations to Lilly! I also think you were overdue for winning.

Well done everybody, great entries!

One from last years holiday in Venice:

A bit like animated avatars you mean?

Yes, I know, sometimes you just hate gravity. At other times it seems to be a force for the good...

If it fell in slow motion, surely you have a picture of it, haven't you?

I know that I would have phrased that slightly different.

Gripping story although the mention of the exact location where you put down your wine was a bit of a giveaway.

Don't let our own arachnyte read that...

Welcome Dave!

If you encounter any problems with operation of your new K10D I'm sure here is the right place to ask. Quite a few members with this model here.

I probably won't be able to help as my *istD is still going strong.

Cheers,

Pete,

I had a look at the shots when they were first up and wrote my comments then. Just to repeat it: Nice collection. If you're not very careful you will start enjoying shooting weddings...

I guess there are just too many shots to get into c&c (and it's hard to keep track on the numbers with so many). I have seen some slightly blown highlights (or at least close to) but that is difficult to avoid with the midday sun (example is the second one, which BTW is lovely, where the nose and the flowers are a bit hot). I just adore the little boy in number 9, I think this is my pick of the bunch.
And the third one is priceless, good reaction on your part!
I would be interested to hear how the happy couple rate your shots compared to the pro ones.
I think I would have been pleased with your shots would that have been my wedding. And don't forget, here in the forum we look at exposure, focus, DOF etc. which are all important. But at the end of the day the question is, have you succeeded in capturing the mood and atmosphere of the day in the opinion of your customers.
For these shots my guess is "yes" here.

Cheers,
Prieni
