Hi Dave, shall certainly give this ago. Just to clarify, shoot raw, convert to jpeg upload to flcikr and paste in the next thread.


Yes or just shoot jpeg resize and upload to here..
 
I`might join in, but I'm shooting my sisters wedding on Sat so I'm not sure I will get time.

You will need to be careful uploading to LR as it has automatic presets! Or are you allowing that??!??

cheeky young fella :lol: What is worse, is actually remembering to change back again afterwards! Last time I did it I did an entire days shooting in jpg because I forgot :bang: Wasn't the end of the world, the actual pictures didn't need much doing, except that I had also left it on some in-camera setting that made them 'vibrant' and frankly, they hurt my eyes :lol:

Oops! Still at least you still saved them! Trying getting your head round why your portrait shots are blowing out at flash sync speed 1/250, then you realise your iso is on H2 which in my case was 12800 :bonk: won't do that again in a rush!

i've done something very similar to this before, i just couldn't see what was in front of me. i felt like a proper numpty when i finally clicked :lol:

best of luck to everyone today.

i was hoping to be at the northwest 200 motorbike races today but i'd forgotten about my nieces 2nd birthday party :bonk:

20 kids screaming at the same time in a ball pit prison isn't my idea of a good saturday afternoon. anyone got any earplugs?
