Hi Rob, As you say it's a personal preference type thing. However, there is no argument that you have done a superb job on the image of the 1967 threepenny bit. 1967 was as I recall, a wonderful...

I have little experience of internet forums and am still feeling my way on Shuttertalk, but I think I would favour at least gradual evolution so that we don't start to appear out of touch to newcomers...

Well that certainly packs a bit more of a punch, thank you. Merry Xmas to you too! Rob

Thanks Ed. You've encouraged me to have a play with the manual perspective controls in Lightroom, which I've never done before. I hope the attached looks better to your eye. Rob

The recent posting by Plantsman of a British Farthing reminded me of my own personal favourite from the pre-decimal era - the threepenny bit. I've also just learnt how to do a selective colour tre...

Jeff, I think we may be a bit short on Lightroom experts! I rely on periodic synchronising with an external hard drive using Microsoft's SyncToy, but I'm sure there are more efficient ways of managing...

Jeff, you may find this video by Anthony Morganti interesting. He doesn't use the C drive. I only wish I'd started out that way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0W8rZOoWgI&list=PLllFqBuTM0WI0fC_Puj...

Thanks a lot Jeff - that's really helpful. Sorry not to respond sooner, but I hadn't realised we'd been moved to a new forum. I'd always thought that panning required a really slow shutter speed, ...

Thanks Ed, you're a wizard! I really must find out how to do this. Rob

Thanks, I'll give it a try - and report back! Rob

Thank you both! I clearly should have worked a bit harder to avoid that branch when I took the shot. The idea of combining the two photos, however, is intriguing. Is it actually possible to do this wi...

A couple of years ago I bought a 12-24mm Sigma lens and I am ashamed to say it has been mostly gathering dust since then. However, I was inspired by Dion 47's recent postings of wide angle photos take...

Jane, I thought I would chip in here to say that I particularly like the colours in this last version - they are very natural to my eye and in keeping with the tranquil nature of the scene. Rob

Disused mine in County Durham - ISO200, 32mm, f16, 1/50sec

Thanks for posting this Jeff. I need to make a decision about software so am hoping this attracts plenty of discussion. When I started to become really interested in photography a year or so ago, I...

I've just started to explore black and white, so thank you for this link. It all made good sense apart from the advice about using 'long exposures'. Is the article suggesting that blurred movement loo...

Thanks a lot. I have to say it's a great location.

I found these images truly inspiring, so thank you for sharing. If you have the time, it would be great to have some insight into how you took them. Like you I use Lightroom, which I am slowly getting...
