Did you try setting the auto power off to longer than 1 min, or disabling it entirely?

Thought I'd try something a bit more adventurous than normal, so... Lot of things done (all in LR4) but essentially: - 16:9 crop - Converted to B&W, tweaking color mix to exaggerate contrast on wall - Bottom-up gradient to boost clarity/contrast/sharpness of harbour wall - Top-down...

Congrats on the new camera!

Here's mine: In LR4: - B/W Conversion - 8x10 crop - Sharpen with mask - Cranked up clarity - Picked up a couple of highlights with adjustment brush - Lowered highlights, raised shadows - Raised exposure slightly - Vignette via lens correction - Cloned a couple things out of the foreground

Yep well done Neil! :thumbs:

Well done Stormcrow! Your big stopper may have blue'd things up but it's not nearly as bad as my Hi-Tech. Here's a quick go from me in LR4: - 16:9 crop - upped the clarity a fair a whack - tweaks to contrast, blacks, shadows and lifted exposure slightly - strong sharpening with big...

There are lots of jpg-only posts earlier in the thread, I don't think there's any problem there at all! :thumbs:

Some really nice edits here but the one that stands out for me is the one by AndrewP. That crop and flip really works for me! Here's my original take on the shot (but I much prefer AndrewP's): So, over to you Andrew!

Cheers Neil & John! Digging out a new RAW just now...

Thank you! [Thank goodness no-one spotted the dalek in the lower left corner ;):lol:]

Here's mine, hope I haven't crossed the line here: 1) Converted to tiff & ran topaz denoise over it 2) In PS I cloned out the wires, and cloned some of the cloud detail from the top of the pic down lower into the body of heavy cloud. This enabled me to crop out the pole while still retaining...

OK, decision time.. I'm going with Flying giraffe's edit because when I started trying to edit the photo myself, it was his approach that seemed most natural to me. So, inspired by the long necked aviator, here's my take:

OK, I ended up choosing one of my reject flower pics. I just can't "do" flowers at the best of times, and since this is a reject, you've really got your work cut out! Straight-to-jpg: RAW: http://www.sendspace.com/file/wasydc (^^^ Be sure to avoid the crud at the top of the page - the .cr2...

Many thanks Stephen! I'm just back from a slightly disappointing sunset trip up Ben A'an (clouds didn't cooperate), so I'll probably pick one of those shots as the next target. Very late now so I'll post up the RAW first thing tomorrow (Thurs).
