Nice image Lea! It is surprising just how much that you can actually do with SFD mode and we've found it works very well with waterfalls as well. It is ultimately the defining image quality for ...

Hi Marco, Nice shot! The warm almost tangible light brings a great atmosphere to the image.  The longer exposure with the moving yet still quite recognisable boats was a great idea. Cheers, mark

Hi Eddy, I posted the answer under the video but in case you find it quicker here: It doesn't actually matter whether you shot in colour or BW the RAW file is absolutely identical. The only ...

Thanks Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to look - Glad you liked them - Its always interesting to see which shot(s) people like best ... Cheers, Mark

Hi Scott, a bit later than advertised ;-) ... here is a shot of the Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus) taken in SFD Mode. Small Version and a 100% crop. As I said before, now that I've have found my ...

Nice shot Marco! Like the composition ...

Great shot Lea, like the 16:9 :-) ...

Hi Frank, thanks and happy to share ;-) on the whole in SPP I just aim to get a good ProPhoto TIFF with no noise reduction, so mainly Exposure and Fill Light (from a slightly over exposed RAW = ...
