This a before (top) and after (bottom) my "printer fix" explained above. The accuracy compared to the digi is night and day for a small test print. The sky & catbells on the left side of the image show a massive difference right away without going over with a tooth comb as well as the over...

Special thanks for that response Harlequin565 thats amazing thank you I will take all that on board.

Thanks for all the help all. I have spoken to a guy at the framers I use who prints his own stuff and he has saved me from my woes based on his experience and having very similar issues with his much better printer the Canon Pro 1000. This maybe helpful to other people if this happens, took...

Thanks for that. Now you mention it the green is completely off and it’s so obvious now pointed out. Probably why the autumnal image works better and the landscape over the lake looks dull and green. I will check out that YouTube channel and print the chart. Might also chat to fotospeed see if...

Hopefully some people with more experience can help me out here. Having moved to a larger home recently and having more wall space I have naturally wanted to get a lot of my images printed. I have jumped into the sink hole that is home printing as I was getting a little tired of paying £30-40...

That light never came could have been there all day. It was just a gap in the cloud that poked some average light through. Its also where forums crack me up. You say use grads, the guy at the top said dont use grads for that focal length. ??? who knows best, the word of two strangers ;)...

Thanks for the input anyways looks to be a combination of things. I will move on. Ta

Probably should just give up then :p I agree its a rubbish photo but nothing ventured nothing gained. In regards to exposure the histogram looks okay I think pushing it further to the right may have blown out some of the brighter areas towards the top left.

The other half will kill me if I spend more money on camera gear.

Thanks. There were no filters or anything attached. The lens is sharp at longer focal lengths in other images. I’ve taken lots of wildlife shots at 400mm tack sharp across the image.

Plenty of reasons and situations it should be above base iso even on a tripod. Ideally I’d have taken it at 100 iso and f11 but the shutter speed would have been 1/125 given the conditions wouldn't IMO been fast enough for 350mm in that situation. The shot was at 350mm nearly and there was a...

Good evening all, I took this image the other day on a walk as part of a set and while the image is nothing special at all I am intrigued as to why it looks, well I can only say dirty, grainy. It's towards the middle left and right it does not look right at all as shown in a crop below. The...

Thanks guys especially the clarification of the bird. Nuthatch, I liked it, had a funny personality stealing the seeds flying off with them and returning again. tbh with the Sony mirrorless systems and a gmaster lens it does most of the work for you the autofocus is second to none. I enjoyed...

Winter Birds-8 by Leigh Cowie, on Flickr

So got snowed in early this morning in the lake district so ventured outside the front of the cottage to if I was inspired by the surrounding mountains. Ended up watching the birds instead so popped some seeds out & thought let's give this a go, how hard can it be? Well turns out for me really...
