I'm no great photographer and it's not the most flattering one of my Rosie, but it does make me laugh everytime I look at it. Only editing done was to darken the background to near black and add a bit of saturation to the brown colour

Here's a landscape I took last week with my little compact at Sheffield park. Didn't have the slr with me so fairly pleased with results.

Both very good compositions! Well done Guys!

Nice 1. I did something similar with my cat

Excellent but can he touch the end of his nose with his tongue, that's the big question

If we stitched those pictures together, I would swear they were about to kiss

I thought this would make a nice black and white image. I sharpened it up a little and bought some of Rosie's back, cheek and ear into it by shadow and highlight. I think it comes out quite nice.

Love it Clippedgull, she does look great in black and white as well. Do you mind if I save the photo and send it to the other half, he'd love it?

Go ahead. It's your picture after all.

That's lovely. Any post-editing?

Not much, just perspective and exposure control in Lightroom together with light use of the dodge tool for the river Thames, same dodge tool for the orange and blue areas on London Bridge

i am looking to upgrade my Bridge camera (nikon p510) to the Nikon D3200. I have the choice to get it from jessops or amazon both with next day delivery and both the same price but the jessops one comes with a 20gb sd card.
who would be better to purchase from?

Have started using photoshop elements to process pictures but not really sure what I am doing! I know HOW to do lots of stuff but not really sure WHAT Ishould be doing. Any tips? What sort of processing should I be doing on the attached picture?

Was it taken in Vik?

No, The Isle of Flatey. Have literally hundreds of Iceland bird photos!

I like this. I'm looking at starting to take bird photos. Would an 80 - 400mm lens be the one I should consider buying? What lens did you use for this photo and what camera settings? Was this taken with manual or auto-focus?
Thanks.

Do you use Canon or Nikon? (or other). I use Canon f5.6 400mm prime lens on a 7D. Probably the best lens for Birds on Flight. My son uses 100-400mm zoom but it is not quite as sharp at 400mm and very slightly slower at focusing (although more flexible).

I used Auto Focus (extended centre point) and f7.1 1/2000.

More of my bird pics here if interested:

I use a Nikon D7100 which I'm slowly getting the hang of. The lens is a Nikon 18-115mm which doesn't get anywhere near enough for flying birds even on maximum zoom.
Love your photos on the link.

Don't blame you. Looking at http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D3200-vs-Nikon-D5300



My Canon SX40 bridge camera is a right pain!
