    Blurred water

    Thanks for all the comments guys. I really appreciate the input. I fully understand the fact that its 'each to there own' and what is pleasing to some folk will very probably not be to others. From a personal perspective, I prefer to see the completed image of what I see through the...

    Blurred water

    I will probably be shot down in flames here, but here goes. I have noticed that an increasing amount of photographs that contain water: ie, sea, lakes, rivers, etc, have the water content blurred.

    Nürburgring

    Lots of very picturesque, twisty back roads in the area. You may get some good shots up by the F1 circuit with the very large 'Nurburgring' illuminated sign in the back ground.

    Am I missing the point?

    I Really enjoy Landscape photography and regularly view the images submitted in the relevant section. However, there is something I just don't understand. The vast majority of the images I see that contain bodies of water are fantastic. However, More and more seem to contain smoke instead of...

    Car help

    It sounds like the caliper piston has seized. When you apply pressure on the pedal, the piston within the caliper stays in the same position instead of travelling towards the pads. The garage who fitted them should have seen the condition of the piston when they changed the pads. Definately...

    CS2, Raw image problems

    Thanks for all the advise guys. I tryed everything and whatever I did, I got nowhere. Luckily, a friend of mine had a full copy of CS3 which he no longer uses and kindly donated it to me. That works absolutely fine. Having viewed my images at last, I needn't have bothered, I have a lot to...

    CS2, Raw image problems

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. I open CS2 in windows. I then click 'file/open' and browse to the folder where the images are. It shows the list of images as consecutive numbers. I then choose one and click open and it ahows an error message saying: 'could not complete your request...

    Warwickshire - Where to shoot?

    The obvious one is Warwick Castle. Less obvious is Kenilworth Castle. You could also try Chesterton windmill. Warwickshire is a fairly flat county but has some hills like Burton dassett country park for example. Going from South Warwickshire to the north side, you could pass through Coventry...

    Hi everyone, yet another newbie

    :wave: I,ve been lurking for a while. Truth be told, building courage to post a few pictures. I am a little nervous in light of the excellent quality I have seen on here. I have just updated my camera from a Fuji S7000 to the new Fuji S2000HD. I would like a DSLR but at the moment, it will...
