Righto - big thanks to Jamie for hosting these. Here's a few shots I snapped late last year. Apologies if the size is a bit big - next time when I resize, I'll go a bit smaller.
This first shot is an aerial of Perth and the Swan River. You can see the issues I was having with the polariser - the top third or so of the pic looks a bit washed out, from all the haze around. Apart from a quick levels adjustment, there was no adjusting in Photoshop. Camera was my D70 with 18-70 @ 18mm (27mm equiv).
OK, number two - this is the shot I mentioned in the post on zooms. I had about 2 seconds to line up and fire off this shot before he noticed me and flew off. I cropped about a cm off the top (ie not much at all), but apart from that, didn't touch it in PS. Again, camera was my D70 with 75-300 @ 300mm (450mm equiv), and I was standing maybe a touch over a meter away.
Finally, this is one for all you lovers of creatures wierd and wonderfull Shot at night with the 75-300 @ 300mm, standing about a meter away, and with built in flash. I cropped it to a square in PS, but that was it.
I'll try to get a few more pictures converted and posted over here. Thanks again to J for hosting...
Cheers,
Brad
