The Photography Thread

I'm starting a short course next week to learn about editing. I can do the basics but can't get my head around the more unfamiliar stuff.

So went out on a bike ride today and it was even warm enough for shorts ( as long as your name isnt @potsy )

I took these with the Moto G phone so not great quality.

This one is from the top of Askwith moor, in front at the bottom of the hill is Otley and to the right is Ilkley. I stitched them together into a Panarama PS:

then I went to CockPit Farm Cafe just outside Otley for lunch:

[QUOTE 3344774, member: 9609"]I think it is a "bridge" camera, better than a compact but not the quality (or price) of an SLR. Looking through the manual I am tending to think it does not do RAW. It does have the most wonderful function though, it will take three pictures in one shot, one slightly over exposed, one correct and one slightly under exposed. (I think you are then supposed to layer them on top of each other (but don't know how)) But what it means is; if I see a view I like, I just point and shoot, then I can later pick the one I like.[/QUOTE]
Depends on the Bridge camera but I would say it's sufficiently enthusiast orientated to tend towards a neutral rendition which might benefit from the mildest of tweaks.

Following on from my previous posting about my own post-processing I spotted a free copy of DxO Optics Pro 8 on one of the photography magazines this month ("Worth £239!!" they say) and as I've been loving vers. 7 I thought I'd invest the fiver and get a slightly newer version. Seems well worth it. I ran another shot from last week through the new version this morning without really having a clue what I was doing, just tweaking various filter and sliders and adding a Fuji Velvia emulation, a bit of a crop, and saving as a JPG:

Did it thanks. A quick play has given a very pleasing result to a photo I mucked up. I'll post it later.

Cheers Phil

Just a quick question. Can anyone see the details of the curtain hanging behind the model, i.e make out that there is a curtain? I can't on my main monitor or on the laptops but I can on my tablet. need to check a better monitor in the house but the fact I can't on this monitor is making me think I need a better one.

Very very slightly down the bottom left? a few touches on PS could clone that out fairly easily now though

Nope I cant see it even with the brightness right up.
