Oh thanks I put it in the wrong place, please could a MOD move, I'd like to know what kind of processing I could do to it. Thanks for any help!

I was really pleased with it because I did not edit it in any way (with software), so it must mean that I'm getting better at selecting the right settings on the camera! Also, got the swan lined up in the centre and it came out really good I think... https://adobe.ly/39ieaXB

Thanks all, will give them a try when my LightRoom subscription runs out at the end of the month! Interesting indeed! I didn't know there was som much choice out there other than Adobe. Could have saved myself some money! Thanks again.

Thanks both! The thing I like about LightRoom is the import to Library aspect, I can just plug my camera (D500) into my computer and it will import the ones I select, the export after editing is also really easy. Can you do that with NX or Capture 1? I don't really do massive jobs with...

Wow, that's brilliant I will take a look at those, thank you very much! Appreciated.

My Adobe contract comes to an end this month and I don't want to continue my subscription. I'm very much against pay per month software and feel I was misinformed that there would be a monthly charge. I just want to pay a set price for software and use it indefinitely. Is anyone using a similar...

Awesome thanks guys! Hi Cockney, I think I'm looking for a camera where she can adjust all the settings to get a feel for what each setting does, and at the same time get some good quality photos. At present she is just using her phone camera so not really learning anything. I'm not familiar...

Please could someone recommend a good starter camera that you can buy 2nd hand for around £100. My cousin has really been struggling over lockdown, she basically got bullied by her school friends the entire time. Was thinking of getting her a camera for an early Christmas present but £100 is the...

Thanks @Teflon-Mike and others, some very clear points there, will work through them and hopefully next time be more prepared!

Hi again, I hope it's okay to ask another question here. I'm lucky enough to live in the coast (Aberdeen) and in my 1 hour coronavirus exercise time I cycled along the coast and spotted some dolphins. They were moving really fast and I couldn't get the cameras AF-C thing to track them because...

Thanks for the good explanation!

Wow, there's a lot of info there and it's really appreciated, thank you. If I may, I'll just pick out some of the main points. Ahh, so at 18mm the aperture can be wider (f3.5) than at 200mm (f5.6). I understand now, and the camera wont let me decrease the aperture from 5.6 when the lens is...

Hello all, thank you very much for the warm welcome and very helpful comments!! I'm watching some youtube videos to try learn, but know I have a long way to go! That was the original idea, but not having much success. As I understand it shutter speed is how long the shutter stays open for...

Hi, I'm new to photography and am trying to take a photo that shows movement, like those which show water motion in a waterfall, or car lights at night when the light is lots of light lines. I tried it on a ship moving, so I set the shutter speed to 1 second. But when I look at the image theres...
