I just signed up too.

OK - what about this one..... Peel Castle IOM

RAW, pretty much 100% of the time. Then a simple convert in Aperture. OK, i'm going to try something and post it later. But i was concentrating on getting the tones right with this shot, my previous shot was in Fog (below), and some one suggested it would be an excellent place for good vis B&W.

you mean like a vintage car or something?

ok, ill do that next time. That is the first B&W I have specifically taken as a B&W. I'll like that bridge!! Nice pic. What lens - not much less than 35mm I would guess?? Cheers R

Alan, Good idea - as the bridge is not going any where soon - i'm going to go and retake it with a WAL. It was a 18-55 but i zoomed to get the bridge perfectly central. The people were purely coincidental and I was being heckled by some people outside the pub behind - so i just took the...

Ok, can you point me to an example of a picture of a similar subject that you would like, It is interesting to see what makes a good monochrome for people. this pic is more architectural than art, very lined up and symmetrical so probably doesn't make it easy on the eye. Cheers R

Speedilght SB900 With the D7000 I can control the SB900 from the camera as a off camera flash. Can i do this with a D3 or do I need to buy another SB900 to be the master? Ray

Yea.... Sorry about that big name.... I need to sort that out. It was pea soop......the type it is difficult to drive in. R

Snapped this one the way home Very very foggy. Ray

Ach..I'm only joking with you....... Although I must admit having converted to Macs a few years ago there is no way I would go back to Windows for my day to day machine. Although i do use VMWare for Mathcad and other engineering software not yet on the mac.

_______________________ Thanks everyone. At least i feel better now!! I felt like a bit of a turnip not being able to prevent it. I was using a UV filter - which i always use to protect my real glass. I can try without that - but what do most people do - do you use a plain filter...
