Thank you Derek :) Bookmarked that page

Thank you, I'll give them a go.

I just used photoshop 6. It was a first try, I'm not 100% sure on how to perfect it but I'll work on it and will come back with more, clearer hdr photos in the future. yeah the sky was poor this morning, not a cloud in sight just pure mist so I agree it does lack that sense of sky. I am not...

Morning all. I woke up extra early today in the hopes to catch a misty sunrise but was hugely disappointed when no sun appeared!! So anyway i managed to get a nice shot of the local lake then tried my first ever HDR render. I know its not perfect but I'm happy with it for my first attempt! I'm...

What settings was this? I'm interested in doing bokeh but can't seem to get the right set up! it's always too light and noisy or too dark

Wow - beautiful! I wish I was near a waterfall!

Lol thanks for all the comments guys! I got myself some dry mealworms and have sprinkled a few down. I think I'm going to go to the local nature reserve and lake, maybe sprinkle some there and wait to see what turns up! The maggots sounds fun but I'd be so frightened to touch them lol (not one...

stunning edit Sarah! Love the idea may have to look at the PS magazine sometime

I really want to get a few shots of a robin but haven't seen one in my garden for a while. I hear they aren't really seed eaters, so what's best?

I'm new to all this and really like the day light slow shutter pictures. Waterfalls, sea etc so I'm looking to invest in a ND 10 stop filter. I just don't know where to start?? All the numbers confuse me lol. I've seen one on eBay which says "Haida pro II MC neutral density filter ND 3.0 10...

I think that's the big mistake I made, I didn't use a timer, I just pressed the trigger! I will keep trying these and hopefully get to perfect them in time

Hi guys. I got a new lens yesterday and thought I'd go test it out today. As I was walking down to the lake I noticed the moon was still visible so I banged my tripod out and shot this. Bearing in mind this is my first ever attempt at shooting the moon so any advice is appreciated...

I know it's not derelict but I think the rugely power station would look nice for car shoots? I'd like to know of some derelict places too so let me know if you find any :)

So my wonderful fiancé has bought me my first lens!!!! Excited much!!! it's a sigma 70-300mm F4-F5.6 DG macro and I'm just wondering where's best to start??? I'm a little newb to the DSLR world. I love scenery, light trails and light painting. Would love to get into macro too

Ah I see, when I get a chance to get on the laptop I will adjust it Thank you forthe comments. I'm a newb so still working out how to adjust the camera to different lights. I think this image is a little dark so maybe messing with the iso on my next attempt should work better :)
