And so it goes. Won't take direct from my computer or from PB. So... nuts to it. I'm done. Best wishes to the rest of you.

James, I only successfully upload to DP directly from Computer once. Try a few time later but didn't work, so I just go back to the Galleries way.

Chiue, I've tried to upload to the galleries as well but without success. Not sure how many failed attempts this makes but I've pretty much lost my patience with dpReview. I think I'll give it a rest for a few days and then try again. Thanks anyway.

I had no trouble uploading this pic to my gallery.........let's see if it will post. It's nothing special and a subject I wouldn't normally waste film on but I like it and shows the advantage of digital photography where one can snap away without regard to cost.
James, I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the Sony RX100 couldn't do any better than this £70 Fuji under the circumstances this photo was taken and I'm pretty sure you wont quarrel with the colour. Just a little cropping and mild sharpening whose artifacts you can see if you view 100%!
Anyway, you take five - I'm a bit like you in that my patience tends to wear a little thin with some of this modern technology.

yes, loading to DPReview galleries works, plus it allows big pictures to be loaded so that we can click and zoom in on the photo to see more detail.
that ivy has hidden the house quite well and the slate roof sorta matches the sky... good thing the gate posts are painted white or the lord of the manor may not find his way in

I've try a (was) very expensive Nikon P310 shooting some pic in a room with a lots of light.
The result picture just blur! I can't believe such a expensive toy can't beat my cheap Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Some ad even claim w/ it's large aperture it can do some night shooting, I thinking the guy who write such an ad may never taking picture w/ it.

yes that house looks quite good a very slippery path when wet leads to the front door i dont like these old paths...may slip up one day lol,,, i think they should disguise the oil tank its far to easy to see. a lot of oil theft down in cornwall at the moment my sisterinlaw is buying a lock for hers
i think these tanks cost about 800.00 pounds to fill up

Robert, a lovely shot. Love the older ivy-covered buildings in your country. Bear in mind, it's Lin who now possesses the Sony RX100. Mine is sold and all I have to show for it is an entry-level Nikon with kit lens. I traded downwards in order to soothe my troubled spirit as it were. Evidently my lack of patience is revealing itself, eh?! hahaMember said:
I'll try once again. Lin and I were walking down by the estuary yesterday evening.

The sun came out briefly so I turned the camera in the opposite direction.

It is a nice place and the 3100 is doing well.
I'm still looking for good deal with a pre-owned 35mm DX 1.8

hmmmmm......
okay acknowledging my overly contrasty PP preference,,,, this one looks a little conservative. (so that probably means that it's just right)
people say they don't pay any heed to that rule of thirds but it keeps showing up where pics are nicely composed...like in this one

The truth is, Charlie, they both lack punch and I'm not going to add punch for the sake of adding it. Oh ... don't get me wrong. I'm not against using software to improve the image (a bit anyway). After all, that's what was formerly done in the darkroom. But I need to get closer to "getting it right" in the camera and I'm not there yet by a country mile. I need to go into the settings and make some changes. And the fact is, while the kit lens is "okay", it's not exactly the best piece of glass. It's certainly not what was on the Sony RX100. I don't believe in pixel peeping so I'm not about to blow either image up beyond what you see. The sharpness is "okay" (nothing exciting there) but the contrast and saturation could stand a boost. Then there is the thing called composition. I need to start thinking "outside the box".

You are so in sync with Jared Polin (froknowsphoto.com) who only shoots RAW.
