SanDisk rescuePro did the trick for me when others failed - wasn't a SanDisk disk either

And ... 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

This is my first attempt at photographing fireworks. I'd love to get some feedback! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Thanks - I have a set of Cokin ND grad filters on my shopping list! That will sort out the blown sky. Also, it was hot and a level grade so there isn't a wisp of smoke or steam - quite unusual for a steam loco!

My one succesful panning shot of a steam engine - the train was travelling at about 65mph (on the mainline near Cholsey, Oxfordshire) and I was standing about 100yards from the line - 1/30sec, c.85mm (Canon 70-200 f/4L), Canon 400d. 1. 2. The full sized ones can be seen at my...

It's been a while since I posted anything on here, but I thought this one might interest some people. This picture has had absolutely no post processing - this is exactly what the lens saw (except colour saturation etc...) - it is a 100% crop. A full sized view is available at...

I've got two on order!

I think 1 & 3 are good but because of the angle, execution and unusual subject matter, no 2 really stands out.

Thanks - I do understand now! That makes sense. However, so far I haven't done such a crop as my photos look noisy at that resolution, so maybe I need to improve my technique and try and use as low an ISO as possible (is 100ISO low or high, I can never remember!). I shall play around and see...

At the risk of sounding a bit dim, what exactly does a 100% crop mean? Or 50%, or whatever - surely a 100% crop means the whole thing and therefore isn't a crop at all? Help!

Well, I'd be happy if I had taken those. Fabulous colours, especially the first, and I think having the sunflower colour subdued emphasises the colour of the frog. Well done!

I really like them - they give the impression of being a miniature landscape - it is quite deceiving as to the scale of the pictures, which makes me want to look longer at them.

Great set - superb colours in some of them. I like no 5 but I was wondering if it had two points of interest - the lighthouse and the post - one distracts from the other IMHO. Still ike the textures though.

Thanks for that - I've just a ordered a cheap Light Box, so I may have a go at something like this. Cheers

John, what lighting did you use for this?
