The best way would be to get a neutral grey target into a picture under the same lighting as the subject and sample off that. I think that if that is not possible then looking for something that should be neutral grey in the image is better than looking for something that is white (but not...

If the fluorescent ceiling lights dominate you are going to want to be shooting at around 1/50s exposure to limit the weird colour problems you can get if you shoot "out of phase" with the lights...

Generally the convoluted awfulness comes as 'requirements' from up above. Programmers left to themselves will (mostly) produce efficient (but ugly) interfaces.

In what ways do you find the 350 limiting?

"GET CLOSER"

Is there a good online frame dealer? I just want standard sizes and not very exciting frame styles!

You need to get some padded cycling shorts if you are doing any sort of distance. They really make saddles a load more comfortable. I wear a pair of baggy shorts over the Lycra for decencies sake :)

Remember to know your rights as all the security guards in the place descend on you and demand you delete any photos!

Thanks both. I think Grum has it more like I imagined, with the grass darkened. I do have the raw so hopefully I can achieve something towards that and not have the halos around the tents :)

<danger uninformed opinion ahead> The reason why the planes are dark is because the silly camera thinks you are trying to take a picture of the sky (which is the majority of the frame), The sky is a lot brighter than both the aeroplanes and the 18% grey the exposure meter thinks is a perfect...

A photo of my god daughter camping in wales. I really like the shot but it is lacking something.. and I am not quite sure what. The image above is more or less straight from the camera. It feels a bit 'muddy' to me, and I am concerned that if I print it she will fade into the grass. What...

That is the 100 slingshot which really is quite small. This CAN be a good thing because it limits the junk (and therefore weight) you may be tempted to carry around, but if it means you cannot take things you want you will end up buying a bigger bag in the end anyway...

Camera Canon EOS 40D Exposure 0.003 sec (1/400) Aperture f/6.3 Focal Length 300 mm ISO Speed 200 Exposure Bias +1/3 EV Lens EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM I have not done anything specific in processing, a bit of sharpening for screen happens during the export to flickr.

It is clearly NEEDLE sharp :cool:

I think I just missed focus on the eye, and the quality of the lens makes it a bit soft anyway (EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM) but I am not unhappy with it :) If you are in south west Wales the trip to Skomer is well worth it.
