I've been using Portfolio for a year or so, I quite like the simplicity of it. http://www.deanphoto.co.uk

If you need any company give me a bell, sounds just as batty as our Leith Hill trip.

Exactly what I thought and the first thing I noticed.

Ooh, forgot to mention the soft edges are indeed on each edge, not just the left side!

Right, after looking at the photos @100% in RAW it appears obvious to me that it's a lens issue. Not only are the edges really soft but the overall quality is shocking when using the 24-70 compared to my other lenses. Here's 2 examples: The following are 100% crops from the left side of the...

So I must be fairly close at f10 and 6ft I guess. Black car is easily over 29ft away, struggled to see it!

I hope not, she's preggers! They don't need shutting up, if it's a genuine issue then I'm thankful to them! Hi Karen, I'll be honest; it was a little while ago and I can't remember off the top of my head. In hindsight it would have been better to shoot at the hyperfocal distance, as...

It is possible of course, I took a fair few frames waiting for that cloud to come over so I'll take a look (tripod), but he's saying each photograph is lacking quality and is softer than he would expect.

Cool, I'll e-mail you tonight when I get back, thanks!

Yep. I guess the only thing I can really do is test my lenses out in a controlled manner. I know it sounds ridiculous as DOF is probably one of the easiest things to understand in photography but just having that assurance has calmed me down slightly (was starting to think I was going mad)...

Indeed, I'm more than happy to supply RAW's if anyone is willing to take a look? My problem is that I'm now used to the images so I can't really tell if anything is a miss, I don't go comparing them to my old images, I also replaced my old monitor at roughly the same time as the camera went to...

This is the problem! I think I need to look at the RAW of the other photographers images to see whats up (although photos will be completely different). Am I right in my thinking in regards to the DOF with the white car and the light issue on the black car, I am aren't I?

Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice on where to start looking at image quality issues on a D3. I've just spoken to one of the editors that I work for and he has said that in the latest issue just printed there is a noticeable difference between the quality of images from my D3 to another...

It's because the rear of the car is moving a different direction to the front which you are tracking, nothing you're doing wrong. Try a faster shutter or more shallow angle for the pan.

As far as locations go: The clue is in your post. You can't test drive a car in a car park (well, you can't really write a feature about a car from driving it around a car park, anyway). So you'll want to shoot it in action on the road. Use well sighted roads clear from street furniture...
