Re: Landscape 2013
Hi Birma As with most of my stuff, a lot of PP was involved. I took about 60 images over a period of about an hour as the sun went down. These were a combination of straight shots and long duration ND filter shots (obviously with the camera fixed on a tripod). I selected about half a dozen images th...

Re: Landscape 2013
Hi Sury
You beat me to it! I decided that I had lightened the image too much and swopped it out for the un-lightened version. Meanwhile you viewed the old one! - but its not too different.

Re: Landscape 2013
I recently got a variable ND filter. I took this shot with it last Sunday. With hindsight I should have lowered the ISO to give a longer exposure, but its OK I guess.

... But is it art?
The Conundrum of the Workshops - by Rudyard Kipling When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden's green and gold, Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould; And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, Till the Devil whispere...

Re: Image Manipulation
A forum already exists for "Photo Art". It's entitled "Effects and Art Techniques". Not used much though!

Re: Printer recommendation needed
When you calibrate your monitor for print work try to set the luminance lower than the "normal" recommendation of 100 cd/m2. I currently use 5800 deg K and 80 cd/m2 on my working screen, and even then I have to lighten the image slightly prior to printing.

Re: Printer recommendation needed
Hi chriznatch No one here has suggested a printer. Unfortunately I too cannot recommend one as you seem to need an A4 printer whereas I use the truely amazing Epson 3880, which is an A2+ printer and surely too expensive for your needs. However, some comments: Agreed that the first thing to check is ...

Toronto Dawn
I recently took some shots of the sun rising over Toronto. These were taken from my hotel window in Oakville. I just checked out the distance using the Google Earth ruler, and found that the distance to the CN Tower was 27.0 km (16.8 miles). It surprises me that one can get such detail over that dis...

Re: Polariser plus SLT - blotchy sky problem
Hi Greg
Yes, the blocks at the top are clearly visible. However, when I take a full sized TIFF and look at it in PS x 400% there is no sign of the blocks - just the normal "blanket" look. I think the blocks came with the jpg conversion.

Re: Polariser plus SLT - blotchy sky problem
Hi David OK, I suppose it may be due to my working screen being an early 19 inch Philips LCD and not a modern professional job. However, I also have not noticed the effect on prints from my Epson 3880, which tends to show up things that I cannot see on my monitor. However, it is rare that I print an...

Re: Polariser plus SLT - blotchy sky problem
I had a look at my images and cannot see the effect mentioned. Attached is one where there is an expanse of blue sky. Taken with a circular polariser, as confirmed by the vignetting of the corners. Raw file converted to jpg in Lightroom and shrunk further using Irfanview. regards - Peter 1205200901....

Re: Polariser plus SLT - blotchy sky problem
I cannot say that I've noticed anything like this. But then, I never use a polariser on a clear sky (can usually be easily adjusted in PhotoShop) but only when I want to improve the separation between clouds and hazy sky. I'll look a bit closer tonight.
