Yes, absolutely! It makes some of my bird photographs look positively pin-sharp. :naughty:

I'm starting to wonder if you ever get any sleep!

Fabulous. My visit to Sossusvlei , years ago, was a disaster.

That's very good!

A nice selection of rocks and arches. I can never bring myself to do this sort of thing in cloudy conditions but it seems to work.

Right - maybe I should update my v5 of Photolab. Thanks! But I agree, my point is not relevant to yours.

Not sure if this is relevant but I find DXO Photolab (v5) NR sometimes gives a very pronounced colour cast which I've found difficult to correct. LR AI NR seems pretty consistently correct. I've started to use LR denoising for everything, even though each file takes about 3 minutes on my machine.

Right! I visiting the sarf-east next week but mainly south of the Thames. I might make an exception for these!

Fantastic...... (goes to look up Osea on the Webbything.....)

I don't know if this is relevant but scans from 35mm film always look terrible , even using the best scanners (eg the Coolscan ED5000). But when printed they don't look anywhere near as bad. I find that modern noise reduction software can reduce the grain on a 35mm scan quite considerably.

I've never heard of them being called polarising screens in 40+ years of using them........ And they fit over the front of the lens like a filter.........

14 Barn owls - wow! Nice pictures too.

A good learning experience for you. I hope you were able to come up with the goods for the charity.

A plug here for "Britain in Focus", which was repeated on BBC4 recently. It's Eamon McCabe presenting a history of Photography in the UK. It's a repeat from 2017 IIRC and is now available on I Player.

Stunning quality for a focal length of 1400 mm! That's 28x magnification. o_O. You'll be giving Black Fox a run for his money soon.
