    HDR with The Gimp

    That's about what I could come up with using Google-Fu as well. I'm not sure if you're a Windows user or not but I found a software for Linux that I'll give a go. It's called Qtpfsgui that I'm going to give a go. You can find more info here: http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/

    HDR with The Gimp

    I've found quite a lot of tutorials on how to create HDR's with Photoshop etc but I can't find any good ones that deals with The Gimp. Does anyone have any links or other tips as to where I could find more info on this? Thanks in advance, Mike

    Digital Depot

    I received two out of four items earlier this week so I'm a bit happier now ;) Waiting for a LowePro backpack too, seems to be delivery problems with them.

    Digital Depot

    Stuart, Thanks for taking the time to reply as well as looking into this. I have full understanding that there can be problems between the shop window and the back end databases but I just thought I'd highlight it. It's hard to rectify if no one mentions it. // Mike

    Digital Depot

    I'm not sure if I just had bad luck with Digital Depot recently but... A friend ordered some stuff for me the other day as a gift, everything was marked as "In Stock" on the website. The order confirmation came through, still no problem. About an hour later she received an email saying that...

    How did you all get into photography??

    My dad always did lots of photography and I think he got fed up with his 5-year old son breaking into the camera bag. So instead he got me a Instamatic camera and that's where it all started..

    Basic filter collection

    You are going to tell me to Google myself now but what does CPL and ND stand for? :amstupid:

    Basic filter collection

    This question might be a bit basic/silly but I'll ask it anyway :cuckoo: What base set of filters would you recommend? Given the fact that I like to take photos of most things this could mean a lot of filters but I'm sure that there is a certain 'base' of filters that everyone should...

    Taking photos at Twickenham?

    I might go for the pub and P&S approach too... No need for aggro from some over zealous stewart, and a Guinness or eight is always nice with the rugby... :)

    Taking photos at Twickenham?

    Many thanks! Well, I guess this could be a bone of contention. How do you define "bona fide private non-commercial use'? Technically I guess I couldn't even post any picture on this forum since that would make the pictures non-private? Is this worthy of a subject of its own here perhaps?

    Taking photos at Twickenham?

    I noticed that there was a thread about the laws/rules governing photography at football matches. It looks like I'll be going to Twickenham for the EDF Cup Final later this year. Does anyone know if they are 'camera friendly' there? Thanks in advance, Mike

    Places to photograph in london please?

    Camden Market gives you different options. Bustling market stalls, 'alternative' people, canal life etc. If you're lucky you might even spot Amy Winehouse on one of her binges and sell the pictures to the tabloids ;)

    Hi from Reading

    Hi there, As you might deduct from my username I'm originally from Sweden but have been living in and around Reading since January 2000. I used to be quite into my photography (mainly Minolta SLRs) back home but left everything behind when I moved over here. I've been using mainly...
