That's great info John. Thanks.

Thanks Souldeep. I liked the way the bloke was sitting and his black-hoody look against the yellow. As you noted it wasn't staged because the chairs are fixed and it is just a random stranger sitting there. The other guy looking straight at me was just a bonus - I don't think I noticed him...

A few from New York... New York 2012 61 by PixAli, on Flickr New York 2012 6 by PixAli, on Flickr New York 2012 59 by PixAli, on Flickr New York 2012 30 by PixAli, on Flickr I do just love the colours from this camera - though I know they are not to everyone's taste...

The camera and I have been a bit busy recently, so haven't had time to post anything for a while. Here are a few from the weekend. Had the sensor changed and am not sure it works as 'well' as it used to but will give it a bit of time to see if I have reset my settings appropriately. It was...

Well done. It's nice to know all your hard work paid off. Good for you for achieving your goal. :clap::clap::woot::woot: or should that be :notworthy::notworthy:

Wow, thanks Rhodese. Very kind! McShrug: Thanks very much for the info about Fuji - I'll do that. And, yes I did buy a refurb and it was pristine. If they'd told me it was brand new, never been touched I'd have believed them - and maybe it would even have been true. Lovely set of...

Other pics from a trip out yesterday seemed to fare a bit better :) Day Trip October 15th 09 by PixAli, on Flickr Day Trip October 15th 16 by PixAli, on Flickr Day Trip October 15th 13 by PixAli, on Flickr Day Trip October 15th 06 by PixAli, on Flickr Day Trip October...

I hadn't noticed this in any of mine, until yesterday when I had a massive coloured flare in one of mine. Given that it is taken directly into the sun, I can see why it has happened and the explanation given above seems to fit. It doesn't worry me overly as these are just for fun but I will...

I have looked (honest) but can't find the Fuji link for sensor replacements. Am going to get around to doing it one of these days and thought I'd get the box sitting ready for when I know I won't need it for a week or so. Please can someone post it here for me? Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I'll stop worrying about the tecnicality of pictures now.

I guess that is part of my confusion. Is subjective preference the most important? I could say which I prefer, but what would be the most "technically correct" exposure for this picture? Or, are they all close enough (not all pictures are and maybe this one isn't) that in this case preference...

Thanks all. :thumbs: It's great to see the different effects people are getting and realising that pictures only have to be fun - and not 'perfect'. All the better for me is the fact that it is so much less effort than using a DSLR and then processing the image. Yes, it does take a bit...

DPP which comes with the CANON cameras has its own distortion correction element as well. Page 2 shows what it all means and how it works. http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/product/canon_software/using_the_new_DPP.do Not sure how well it will work with your Tokina lens, but worth having...

I am having a bit of difficulty 'seeing' or knowing which is the 'better' exposure when the picture overall is a darker one. :'( Here is the original. It's a shot taken in the evening light and the orange tone on the original is how it was more or less. I know it is underexposed, but I...

I like that shot Edbray. A great example of why you want a good P&S with you when travelling.
