Yes I've been brave

I left this in auto white balance - but I really need to lighten the snow . I've had a quick go in Aperture - but I'm not happy with the result - could I have some ideas as to how I whiten the snow please ?

I like the way I got the sun on the next-door-but-one house , I could possibly do with bringing up the colours slightly to give them a bit more 'punch ' but its the snow that's getting to me

Very reluctantly my DA 40mm Ltd is looking for a new home.

It was bought from a forum member earlier this year

It comes with its box, front and back caps and lovely little soft bag and I will also include a set of Hoya 30.5mm filters which go on in front of the hood and let you screw on the lens cap as usual . The filters are CPL , UV and warm daylight and they come in the Hoya pouch.

Why am I selling this little gem ? - well my hands problem means that I'm finding it rather hard to cope with the very small size and I'm really afraid of dropping it while trying to put it one

As far as I can tell the lens is fungus free and I cannot see any dust on it. It was immaculate when it came to me .

Bearing in mind the wee filters , which are exceedingly hard to find , I'm asking for £ 225 which does include UK delivery by Special Delivery [ if it goes outside the UK we will have to explore how to get it to its new home safely ]

If interested please contact me - I'll be sorry to see it go but I'm afraid for its safety - I need something physically slightly bigger.

So what we see is exactly what you took - straight from the camera and no tweaking in Elements , Photoshop or Lightroom ?

Well - does that really matter since we can't shoot in there [ NTS rules ] ?

ARGH

I shouldn't have opened my big mouth

About to get on my snow clearance gear [ fleece and long thin driving/riding mac. , heavy shoes , gloves ] and open the garage to get my snow shovel out and clear the place while I can .

Oh well - chances of using the K-x for a bit have now vanished - while the snow lasts I'm going to have very sore elbows again

Monty,

I'm wondering - as everyone knows I'm no expert , just a beginner in all this but one phrase in your last pot has set my brain cell working.

You said

Do you do any post processing work ?

Up here, depending which weather site you use , it's varying from - 1 to -3C

A tad chilly - but as yet no descent of white stuff - that's further North

I have boxes and boxes of slides taken by my husband on a Boots Amica 35mm camera , dating , I think , from 1968 . there are slides of my daughters [ I think ] and also from holidays. We mainly used slide , though at some point I was shooting in B&W and believe it or not I used a light meter for every shot .

I don't know what to do with these - honest I don't
