Excellent shot Sorbz62! Love the contrast between the golden dome and the perfect sky 🙂

Some excellent contributions already! Here's my contribution to the snowy theme: Colourful Newfoundland "Salt Box" house in the snow.

Thank you both Rodger and Victor for your replies; very interesting. I did know about these sorts of things back in the day, but I've forgotten so much over the years.

Definitely, if it's within warranty, I'd take it back.

I'm wondering whether it could be sun damage? Have you left it pointing into the sun for any length of time?

I have the 200-600, and it's an excellent lens. Drawbacks: (1) Size, it's big 31.8cm, and it's an internal zoom, which means it doesn't get any smaller when you put it away.

Excellent work Rodger! Not sure why, but in my head I was expecting the meteor trails to be going the other way? I.e. Flip the background horizontally? Is there a correct direction based on the ...

Nice shots Bill, my favourite is #3 - looks like you found the Holy Grail with that one 🙂 I don't suppose you found The Shrubbery? 🙃

You're welcome, they're excellent cameras - I hope you enjoy it 🙂

LOL; that's a clever and original take on the theme Lyle; nicely done :)

I posted two versions that only used Photoshop? ACR is Adobe Camera RAW, which is part of PS. I also posted two versions that used DxO. For this type of job DxO is a lot quicker and easier to use, ...

Thank you, Craig 🙂 I was lucky enough to secure a ticket to an evening photographic event at the SVR at the end of September, when they had probably the largest collection of preserved Western ...

Some excellent posts in this thread; keep them coming folks! Here's a few I took over the perimeter wall at the SNCF depot at Longueau just outside Amiens in France earlier this year. I found it ...

I do find it frustrating how little activity there is in this space now. There used to be a lot more options when CF cards were brutally expensive and HDDs were cheap. Does your camera have ...

Here's an entirely PS/ACR version: ACR AI NR, attempted fixes to geometry, brightness, etc. Cloned out the dust spots DxO PL7 version, much quicker and easier.

I was going to post a self portrait, but since this is a landscape forum I thought I'd try and stay on topic, instead here's my favourite picture of Whitby Abbey ;) Whitby Abbey at sunset

My inner cynic suggests he's cheating, and creating the halftone version from the original photo. Best I could do quickly with AI was this: Blurred the original halftone image to make it scalable. ...

Here's another version this time entirely using ACR in the latest version of Photoshop: Started by running the AI noise reduction in PS. Then similar steps to the PhotoLab version above.

Really sorry to hear that happened. I did something similar myself once, fortunately I noticed that the shutter speed was insane, and realised early, but it's all too easily done. Here's a quick ...

Exactly this :)
