Cret Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ha ha! I think you're absolutely right Kris! How didn't I spot that - it's painfully obvious now! I showed it to a photographer pal and he didn't spot that either so at least it's not just me. Was weird though - I didn't think it could be actual sun flare etc as it was way too big compared with the scale of the sun, but it did have me puzzled. I'm blaming a stinking cold and child induced sleep deprivation for the lapse of observation..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberalis Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 LOL, one last thing buddy, I pressume you dont do a sharpen when you re-size images for use on the net, I noted a few looked softer than I am sure they are at full res. I enjoy looking through your pics, memories... sweet memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Generally no I don't sharpen things unless it's a pic I really want to use that has turned out a little softer than I wanted. I was surprised the other day when my pal mentioned that adobe raw adds a bunch of sharpening by default! Can you point me at a particular example so I can hopefully see where you mean? Am sure you're right - I don't always spot these things and my photoshop skills are relatively crude. Usually I upload the full size jpeg pics to photobucket (which has them at 1024 max I think for me) so it resizes them rather than me doing it. Thanks though - always appreciate useful feedback, and aim to please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberalis Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ok, lets take the lone tree for example. Rather than upload the full jpeg online, shrink the image yourself to say about 800pix wide, then do either a sharpen or 1pt unsharp mask on it (I dont use photoshop so not sure where it is or what it is called) finally save it for the web. when you upload the re-edited version, do a side by side and see what you think.

Cret Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Cool - cheers bud. Will give that a go tomorrow night to compare. Thanks for the heads up and explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks for the comments both of you. 1 & 2 are near Kewaigue, and 4 is from a field near the incinerator, looking to the south west. 5 looks to be walberry farm top left with middle farm builds bottom left... good work by the way :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Cheers Bubba Kris - I tried doing that resizing prior to uploading. The sharpen does a really nice addition to the pics, but aside from that I didn't notice any change (I'm sure I will once I do it as a habit). Much quicker of course to upload, so I'll probably do that anyway from now on. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theambo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 A few pics taken with a "new" 40mm wide angle lens I got for christmas using Fuji Neopan 400 film. Need a bit more thought for the next film but I'm quite pleased with the initial results. Bushys Beer Car The Bay Port Erin Boxed Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeliX Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well, I got my first DSLR last week, still using kit lens atm. This is pretty much the only pic I've taken that I'm actually happy with... (out of like 200+ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M 2.0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I like it. Did you have some sort of filter on the lense to get the star effect from the lights? I see this is your first DSLR - what did you opt for? I have long been promising myself an upgrade and like to see what other people have decided on.

Cret Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Good choice of camera - I had a 500D and could not fault it - cracking piece of kit. And good pic too there specially for a kind of first effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M 2.0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 if you look at the image exif data it reveals a lot ! AHA! I never knew you could do that, there appears to be a website / app for everything these days! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
