Yes lovely walk but still had my Summer plumage on

Hi Dave, lovely shot that is mate, I just adore reflections! Adobe have updated their HDR capability in PS CS6, so I'm hoping to get into the lakes next week to grab a few sets of shots to test it out. Looks like DPP has done well, nice 'n clear, no gaudy colours and no haloing either. Cant...

Absobloominlutley stunning Dave. That final take is to DIE for Jenny

Editing Photo's and avoiding the pitfalls.Editing photo's is a necessary part of digital photography (DP), DP has many shortcomings and does not (yet) capture as well as film used to but every year its getting better as the DP sensor's improve. Sure, the overall look of a digi photo can look...

I too had the old 5D and found it really bad for dust and I had it serviced and cleaned regularly at Lehmans of Stoke.

Ooooh., the good old "grey" market. But it is just the same gear priced differently. I'm surprised you sold your Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS though, did you buy into "L" glass or something? Steve...

Camera Raw TipsI prefer Camera RAW for most of my photo editing, here are a few tips I've picked up over the years that are not common knowledge.Open a jpeg in Camera raw.From photoshop, click "File/Open As"and then browse to the jpeg you want to open, and select it, in the drop down...

I hadn't thought of that either Jack, thanks I'll take a look.

I did get confused with the dates there Scrungee, never mind it did force us to make a decision

I've never chanced that 'grey' stuff, not only for above reason but also heard of them being supplied with 'foreign' plugs on the chargers. I've (only once) had something defective from Homebase and they sent a courier to collect the defective item and deliver a replacement. P.S. I forgot to...

Yep, and Castor Only saw a couple myself, the whole experience being marred by next doors halogen constantly switching on and off.

Hi Kevin, luckily with regard to CS6 I'm being tutored by friends who are Creative Directors at McCann's which is a global Advertising Agency. I worked there for some years and have been able to keep contact with them. I think they'll educate me on Lightroom 4 as well

John; my scanner is an Epson Perfection 1240U and probably now at least 8 years old, so I would think there's probably a newer model available now. I bought the Epson scanner mainly because it had the facility to scan slides and negs by adding a cover that shines a light through them. I can crop...

Hi Kyle. I'm in the same position as you in that I've a stack of short videos taken with my digital cameras that I wanted to join together and put on DVD. I've ended up buying "Magix Movie Edit Pro 17" from Amazon at £21.28. I looked for free stuff but wasn't sure that what I'd found would do...

Sorry, to hear about your camera Jack, I'd be inclined to feel the same lack of confidence, but I agree with what Armandii has said 100%.

Of course..please do. Good luck! Steve...

Sounds like you've done okay there Jack.

I love my Galaxy ace, if only I could answer calls, explained my problem to my stepson who called in tonight, showed him my phone ,he was looking at it ,"you don`t need this (bluetooth.) you don`t need this (GPS) etc etc, he then rang from his mobile showed me how to "touch and swipe" when I got...

Another thing you might think about Woo is a polarising filter to reduce unwanted reflections.I've used one on a digital video camera and a DSLR to enable me to photograph fish and reduce sunlight reflections.

Good morning Dave incredible images and many thanks for your advice in a previous post,Its very frustrating but I haven't managed one decent shot yet,but will endeavor to get one
