You know, the 'I can't spell but I'm cheap' aspect didn't strike me until now. The leaflet is 1/3 of A4 (I'm sure there's a name for that), displayed in a rack which would hide the price.

I looked at the website, and found that the photograper has an Eastern European name,  which might mean that English is not his first language. That is no excuse for a badly spelt flyer, though, surely someone else saw it before it got onto the press?

On another note, the website seems to have about 100 photos for each wedding, engagement, christening etc. that the photographer has done. Is this normal, or acceptable, or what? I'm not criticising now, just would find it starnge that all my event's pictures were there for all to see.

Been waiting on stock arriving in the UK since April (for my Canon 6D rather than my Nikon D610)! Still can't find any stock and don't want to "pre-order" from WEX as this will tie up capital on the credit card with no idea when I will actually receive it.

Amazon UK have some for Canon.

Nice shots, Tbonz.

And a bit of understanding gained for 'Daydream Believer'

Nikonite, I don't think you've understood the OP's problem.

I don't think the 'problem' is with the app, more with the way the camera works. If you have raw+jpeg on one card, you only see one image when reviewing them If you put raw and jpegs on separate cards, you see both when reviewing them. Not that it should make much difference, tbh. NEfs show an embedded jpeg which should be very similar to the jpeg that is shown..

Can you store raw+jpeg on one card and still just save the jpegs over wifi?

There is no clipping in the 'before' image. Clipping has been introduced in the 'After' image.

Hi

Seems every photo I take with my 5100 is washed out, low and high levels clipped.  Must be a setting somewhere I have set wrong. Does not matter if it's JPEG, Raw, etc.  See examples link below OR attached before/after images.  Notice the high and low levels clipping in the before image.

Any ideas?

You could try Control My Nikon or Helicon Remote. I think both have free trials. As for the cable, that should have come with your camera.

Sounds like you've managed to turn bracketing on without realising, and you've got 2-stop intervals. (1/60 - 1/250 - 1/1000). Odd that you have 2 dark exposures, I didn't know the D5000 could do normal and 2 under. Maybe you've got some exposure compensation dialled in too, or the meter was confused if you're shooting into the sky. I can confidently say that it's nothing to do with the battery.

Focussing on a small target against the sky can be frustrating, and I think that's all the problem is.

I have them captive - let's see how they like it!

One from a visit to Flamingoland in North Yorkshire. The big chap in the front looks quite happy, compared at least to his smaller companion...

D300s, 18-105 VR @ 105mm, 1/400, f/8, ISO 200.

Processed with Topaz Adjust (Dramatic preset) and Focus Magic.

Now I understand. Good point. Thanks

PS. May have to have another glass of brandy tomorrow night.

Cut the foil before you consume the brandy. Trust me, I know these things.

I think that Nikon released a firmware update for the D3200 (probably related to a newer model of battery?) that stopped existing 3rd party batteries from working.

Chris

No disrespect to anyone here. The image is pretty good, but I'm buggered if I can see any snow

We're way off the original topic. Anyone care to open a more appropriate thread?

The D3300 and D5300 (and their predecessors) don't have a lock for the focus point. All other current Nikon DSLRs have a lock around the multi selector. Put the focus point where you want it, and then lock it with that ring. Interestingly, it only locks the focus point. The multi-selector still works for its other functions.

I work the way Peter describes - compose, select focus point, and shoot. Checking that the focus point is where I want it is part of my workflow (such as it is). But then I'm not a world class photographer.

I thought the straight conversion (using Capture NX-D) looked a little too cool for an autumnal scene.

So I changed the white balance to Shade and the Picture Control to Vivid.

While I was at it, I saved versions 1 stop over and under exposed. I fed those into Photomatix, processed with the Soft preset (iirc). The result was subtly different :+

I took the result into Paintshop Pro, masked the leaf & berries using Topaz Remask, and reduced the brightness of the background. A small border and voila.

For fun, I fed that image (minus the border) into Dynamic Auto Painter, used the Watercolor preset with the Aquarmarine palette. I quite like the result (otherwise I wouldn't be showing you).
