Just to confuse matters even further! I think it's a yellow plum tree. I had one in the garden of my first house....never seen yellow plums before. Don't know the name of the variety, but I think they're mainly used for desserts & jams. Try google images for yellow plums... If you grab...

It's definitely light leakage! I struggled with the same problem and was getting a reflection of my lens onto the back of the filter which appeared as a magenta cast, because the camera's white balance has compensated for the green cast to the filter by adding a bucket load of magenta....I'm...

Got mine in the post today and just tried it out on top of a hill! Fits the middle slot of a Cokin holder perfectly, but had real problems with light leakage behind the filter. Ended up wrapping my tripod strap round the outside and holding it in the 20mph wind, with my remote control in the...

What an incredible sky! Well captured!

Love the colour of those skies! Thanks for the tips & tricks....well worth trying! :)

Thanks for the comments...:) Took your point Gary...I had a second shot which I think was slightly better (more foreground & a straight horizon!) Straight from the raw file...removed the dust spots (thanks Billybob), tweak of curves & a sharpen. C&C's??

Totally agree it was very harsh penalty! :thumbsdown: Alonso realised there was a problem and took it 'very easy' to get back to the pits....it's not like the wheel came off at racing speeds!

Very informative article! :thumbs: I've been taking much more landscape photography recently, so am giving this a go....just bought a replacement 'focus screen' for my camera, which has the 'thirds' marked on it! Nice & clear too!

Nice shots Rob! :thumbs: I can see this windfarm from my bedroom window....these things are awesome! Got a few similar shots which am about to sort out for my Flickr account.

My first image post! :( Better late than never.... Had a short break in Lynmouth 2 weeks ago, so I had a serious go at capturing RAW images and processing them as HDR images(well...the first 5 images!) Comments/crits most appreciated....

I can recommend a cracking little photographic shop in Denton (outskirts of Manchester).... http://www.ukcamera.com/denton/cokinp.htm I've purchased quite a few filters there. He also sells KOOD square filters, which are a few pounds cheaper than the Cokin P equivalent. He doesn't...

My second post here.... My first DSLR....frankly there was no contest for me...it's the K10D. I had Praktica & Olympus SLR's in the 80's, as my introduction to photography (started when I was 14!), but always yearned for the Pentax cameras, such as the spotmatic and the MX! So...I...

Hello there! :wave: Currently 10 months into my DSLR ownership, though have many years use out of film SLR and digital 'bridge' cameras. Was told about this forum after a chance meeting with a current forum member! ;) Am generally looking for tips, tricks and (hopefully) sharing some photos...
