My god how sensitive can you all get! There is a picture with a guys head replaced by a trophy. Does no one else find that in the least bit amusing?? I am not a pro photographer but I have a fairly stressful job BUT I still manage to maintain a sense of humour. A skill that seems to be absent...

My home built tower PC has SSD + high end RAM / MoBo / Graphics card / I7 / Liquid cooling etc etc and still cost under 1300 QUID. This machine will out perform any MAC on the market for any heavy processing task such as rendering 3D animation scenes to HD video. The box that holds all the...

My 3 best of the year. Daughter in Scotland in July and it was freezing: Thistle. For no particular reason I love this pic: Huge dung heap in the hills of Perth-shire. My fave pano: CHEERS

I have to mention that I was asked to put someone else s watermark onto an image. Go figure!!

One of my trademarks is when I give someone a CD of my pictures I always label it HARD CORE PORNOGRAPHY that always has them doing the explanation dance later but only to people with a sense of humor.

heres a go: Static: Little animated: Bit more animation (will take a few seconds to load): Photobucket mangled the last one......

Interesting discussion! Its a question I have asked myself. If I make an image that did not originate from a camera its a real attempt at creating something from inside my head so anything goes. If I take a photograph with a camera its an attempt at capturing a moment. All of my photographs...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. The Fuji takes bracketed images and flattens them to reduce noise and I have had some quite good results at low light levels but as many have pointed out going manual to take individual high ISO shots produces a lot of noise. I have neither the funds or...

At what sort of light levels? Are you using over ISO 400 in good lighting conditions? CHEERS

I dont think I am being picky. I just did not understand ISO settings. I do a lot of night photography but the Fuji has dedicated functions for bracketing and shooting in low light which work very well for me. The option exists to go fully manual and I like to experiment, but during my...

Phil that last explanation dropped the penny for me. I see what you are saying. Thank you. OK dumb question time....... What difference would high ISO make in good conditions? CHEERS

Why would I view at 400% ? My old Fuji is pretty good at getting images below the " Jocky Noise Threshold" but I do have a low tolerance. I dont think I have kept any image taken over ISO 400. CHEERS

Thanks for all the replies. The only images I have ever printed onto paper are ones I produce from 3D Modeling software where every conceivable variation to a pixel is accommodated. ISO is not one of the settings and I guess I am trying to find an equivalent. I understand that if you need to...
