I would like to see a Camera Obscura vs Deguerrotype vs Smartphone studio test. With and without bellows.

I didn't think I was that good before. Turns out, I was even worse!

Congratulations on the new lens purchase. Daffodils are looking great - though I imagine you are waiting for the tulip season to begin!

No doubt business executives at Adobe are taking note...

My daffodil radar always informs me whenever someone posts a picture of them ;-) Nice to see spring in full bloom in your part of the world.

Fine - but when will they bring back Picasa?
;-)

Long time no see Waynecam! Good to see you posting still and these luscious examples show just how far we've come since our camedia camera days!

Nice and contrasty. Colours spot on - which I always find difficult to process if ever I use flash.

Not often you get a chance to use the low key/high key features but in this case, seems to have done the trick. When daffodils open up your way, try shooting them in direct sunlight, but with the ...

For the benefit of the rest of the planet: 79.3 x 99.4 inches = 2 x 2.5 meters.

Absolutely! You hit the nail right on the head there. It could be argued that tulips are more colourful and wysteria/foxgloves/bluebells are prettier - but there's something special about ...

Finally - someone who isn't afraid to show high ISO shots! True, you could have dialled in 6400 for a lot of these and put up with a slightly slower (but still steady) shutter time - but I for one ...

I'm not sure what the name of the flower is, but I do remember seeing them a lot in Portugal too.

Those E500 shots - great sky blues. Brings back a lot of very happy memories as the E500 was also my first DSLR. Still have it, but in 2011, it developed a fault on the sensor. But I have 5 years ...

Really clean shots of the hockey game. And to think - a dozen or so years a go the autofocus would have struggled and the high ISO simply wasn't an option!

Great to see an E5 still delivering. The 50-200 was worth its weight in gold back in the day - and still easy to see why. That Ford Escort mk2 must be 40+ years old!

Thanks Andrew. I think your winters are considerably harsher than the ones here in UK - but daffodils are remarkably hardy. Even under a thick layer of snow they're quite happy to wait for the ...

I mean Daffodils - what else? Dusted off the E-510+14-54mm mk1 and the monstrous 70-300mm. Everything still delivers! Shot in RAW, developed in OV3. Sharpening+WB correction (to remove excessive ...

"...Those people are turning in their grave when they see how far we've fallen morally..."

erm....beg your pardon?

Great minds think alike! I too stopped by today - couldn't resist posting a few daffodil shots using my OLD C-8080! Remember how we used to do that in this forum circa 2004-2007 ?
