    nice informitive post....Kelly how did you put your flashy name on it..what programme as canon hasnt got that facility

    Canon software does have the facility.

    When u uploaded the software cd that come with your camers, there is a programme called, zoom brower Ex,

    This programme hold all you photo in files that u have uploaded them into, open the photo, you wish to write on. double click on it, and along the top menu bar will be a section called " edit " on the drop dpwn menu click on insert text.

    Select the area you wish to have the text, including the font and colour and then type and press ok , and there you go u have text on your photo. press save as, and u now have two copies one with text and one with out.

    best_f10.jpg

    This one was cropped, to remove some unwanted grass on the photo, i upped the saturation, to enriched the blue in the sky, I rasied the

    shawdows to darker the trees, and then i sharpen it..

    This one as above but not so high

    new_ca15.jpg

    best_s10.jpg

    And the last one was done by using the canon software, digital photo professional.

    I played around with the RGB image adjustment.

    How to do this:- upload photo into the digital photo professional, click on tone curbe adjustments,

    make sure RGB is highlighted and then move the highlighted levels to the required postion to get the affect you require.

    All photo, were then run through photo, so i could add my name along the bottom of each photo.

    Hope this all makes sense.

    If any one wishes to have a better atempt at these photo's then go ahead, let me know how it was done and

    i can learn from it. :)

    Trying to bring things back on topic ...........

    Kelly,

    Did you use any filters on these shots. I've just got a plain UV filter on my Nikon D80 DSLR mainly for lens protection and have a circ. Polorising Filter which I use at times. I know you can change the effects with the cameras on board software or with external Software but I prefer to see the effects thru' the lens. Have you tried using Neutral density filters as I've thought about buying some of those?

    Hi,

    No fliter were used on these photo's. I do own a uv fliter and have thought about investing in some, but the chocies are endless, I did find a good programme which gives all the same flittered affects without buying the lenes - it called Tiffex DFX

    I havent tried the Natural Density filters, but would like to :)

    Going back to my photos, maybe i should have posted before and after photos, so someone could have guided me to show me where i went wrong, only a idea

    My, god what has happened to my thread, all i wanted to do was share some of my

    photos like i have done for years on here.

    I can see everyones points. as everyone has there own opinion on how they feel

    about something. As with photography what photo might be stunning to one person

    may not to another, eveyone has different tastes as with everything in life.

    If ten people walked in to a gallery not all ten people are gonna to like the

    same photo, for each indivaidul reasons.

    First of all i would like to ask why this thread was chosen to bring this subject

    up as over the past few days quite a few new threads have been started with members

    showing there photos off, why chose this one?

    As someone said a few pages back, if every photo posted was given a true comment, expext for

    " nice pic" etc, then i think they would be scared to death to post another photo,

    people learn by this but its can also be very off putting.

    Having a thread for just general photo's that can be shown with just normal comments should be set up,

    and then have one for people willing to have there photo comment more indepth, as this will help

    people to learn where they have gone wrong etc, not every one is perfect and this how i learn, but u have to

    give the person the option of this.

    Going back to my photos, yes they have been edited quite a lot, maybe i did it all wrong, who knows,

    but i wanted to do something " different" with my photo,s.

    As i said if there was a thread decated to people wanting full depth comments etc, i would be able to

    get some advise to see where i was going wrong.

    I am first to admit, i still have a lot to learn and i am never gonna be a " david bailey"

    Everyone has there own way of doing photography.

    My main intrest in photography is weather photography, one of the main reason of joining

    net weather. I enjoy sharing my work, nothing wrong with that.

    I think you might be getting into it a little too deeply Steve. Over the past couple of months, we've seen more and more threads started where the quality or originality of the photos seems to have little bearing on the responses received. I simply don't see the point in that. If I did a list of who comments on what photographer, I think a fair few trends would become immediately apparent.

    I'm not for a moment saying the photos have to be brilliant or incredibly clever, but let's try to get away from the "great shots" type response for something that's out of focus and poorly composed.

    So Onn what do you think of my photo's ?

    How did you get the effect in the last photo? :o

    On the canon software, digital photo professional.

    I played around with the RGB image adjustment.

    How to do this:- upload photo into the digital photo professional, click on tone curbe adjustments,

    make sure RGB is highlighted and then move the highlighted levels to the required postion to get the affect you require :)

    Ok, a bit of info about today photos, All were taking in Cowes on the isle of Wight, i wanted to go somewhere new try out my new camera. (canon 400)

    The building of the hotel had a very eerie feel to it, one hotel i dont think i would ever dream of staying, purley cause it looks so spooky. It was fun getting the photos from differenet angles.

    The silhouettes of trees is my favourite, The cloud formations was changing all the time and out of many photos I like this one the best.

    I really admire the rainbow picture from Kelly, it would probably win hands down for some other month and I would suggest it as a front cover shot if it doesn't make picture of the month, good rainbow pictures are quite difficult to capture.

    Mine will be in the Fantasy Island tourist brochures. :o

    Thanks Roger :)

    Got to be one of my Fav's , its actually at the printers to be made into a postcard :)
