That is very good. Simple idea really well executed. I'd imagine some of the tracking/compositing of the individual planes took a while, though.

I don't know if it will be the same on your camera, but you weren't previously on a RAW + JPEG setting by any chance were you?

In support of the OP, this was exactly the same query I was going to make regarding the book so you are not the only one who came away puzzled about that particular part of it nigpd!! The advise is very useful to me as well - thanks everyone!

Just to say I've read the first few sections of the book and can already highly recommend it. It puts together all the things you previously knew about photography (what Aperture does/means, shutter speed etc) and explains how they work together to create different photographic effects...

Had mine for 3 months now and really enjoying being able to take better-quality photos! Made full use of the images I took in Berlin in October and had a hardback A4 photobook made by Photobox - was very impressed with the quality of the images up to A4 size. Just received a Nifty that I can't...

I have found out today that I have a week's holiday to take before Christmas, so I now have next week to use for valuable photography time :D I am looking for ideas for places to visit around the North of England - I live in Leeds and, with my little car and my camera, I plan to travel around...

Berlin is a great place for photographing. I went in October and the Tiergarten was beautiful - the leaves had all turned brown earlier than in England and had fallen off. Would highly recommend the Reichstag just for the views from the top. The queues aren't too bad at this time of year - we...

Thanks for posting this - a great sample of work!

If you are a newbie I can't recommend Lightroom 2 enough at the moment. I have used Photoshop sporadically in the past, but I tried LR 2 the other day to process some shots I had taken in Berlin shot in RAW. As a tool to 'develop' a series of photos (e.g. 1 x SD card worth), it is a much more...

Yes, most SLR's (or "professional-looking" cameras) are banned from most venues I go to, even some of the smaller ones require passes of some sort. How do you get your passes for the 53 Degree's? I've always fancied trying to get a pass for the Cockpit in Leeds which I believe is a...

I was just going to post that I'd seen this advertised yesterday. Its long overdue by Amazon IMO. Making the £13.99 Sandisk Extreme III 4gb SD cards looking VERY attractive!

I really like the layout, but not sure about the font you've used for the titles etc - looked quite pixelated on my monitor as though the font was too large.

I have to agree with this. I like the way they will take a bog-standard press situation like a press conference, then use a photo of the main protagonist of the story from an unconventional angle. Always makes me read the blurb to see what the photo is about. The big picture that appears in...

My new camera is apparently "At the Leeds Depot" and is "out for delivery" so here's hoping for an early delivery. The quoted delivery time was 3-4 days which would make it tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

If possible, I would also test another monitor on the system.
