A slew of PSP games: Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Breath of Fire 3 (again), Ys The Ark of Napishtim. I tend to swap between them as my mood takes me.

OR, it's Qtpfsgui, which, whilst not rolling off the tongue, is a very capable little program I use for my HDRs. It comes in Windoze and Mac variants too ;) There's a Flickr group dedicated to using the program. And Ace, those are very evocative shots - I agree with Leish, they look somehow...

Oh, but that makes us all Olympus sisters :p I'm rather taken with 'Dimple Brockhouse' m'self :D Anyway... Goodnight :p

Why thank you, Arenel :D

Well, that proves what I've long suspected... Leish, we are officially unrelated. I'm 'Dimple Brockhouse of Loamsdown' or you may alternatively call me 'Nienna Séregon' :D

I didn't say they weren't good though... :p

Spammer! But with a lower ISO and a tripod, you could have captured the saturated colours of the fireworks better :p

If you're shooting fireworks, here's a good pointer guide. It mentions (as OR said) using the 'bulb' setting to only capture the actual firework, and no extra escaping light. Points 3 and 4 are particularly good advice. Personally Highlander, I like your 'lines' effect - it shows movement in...

YES! What a great idea LoW. Count me in - I think that would be wonderful. I need inspiration and to widen my skills so challenges like that would be perfect :) Most definitely it wouldn't matter what type of camera you have - I've seen the most inspirational and creative shots, and they've been...

You mean I have to learn like everyone else here? Bah. :D

I've been brow-beaten enough by Leish to also sign up. :D Though can I skip the first two lessons? (Since I was your guinea pig :p) I could even post the pics to prove I did it :D

I want to visit you sometime! :D And you also forgot to point out you can still shoot in aperture priority mode and multi-meter mode, as well as manual. I do all my macro in aperture mode with multi-meter exposure and manually fine-tune the focus.

Ah, I genuinely laughed at that one :) I llike the Canary Wharf shot too - I'm a sucker for a nightscape. Might want to steady the camera against a railing or somesuch for the longer exposure times needed whan shooting at night. Or find a wall to lean against to help steady your hand. I...

I use a 50mm prime Leish - that's the one I was boring you about the other night. My newest purchase. And yes, Oly have made loads of them (about five or more iterations of the 50mm prime, all labelled slightly differently). But you could just get an adapter and use Pentax K mount lenses -...

You'll have enough fun with the DSLR :p And I'm sure a range of lenses would be enough for you to get all the range of subjects you could ever want to capture... macro, fixed length prime, telephoto, wideangle... Your bag will be full to bursting ;)

Oooh red - my favourite colour! Those are some more great shots - keep the camera Tansy! :D Seriously, I love the tones you are getting with the FinePix. EDIT: Hmm, I think Leish and are are new fans of yours Tansy :D

And just so we don't spend the entire thread talking :p Here's some more flower/garden crops: And a gentle reminder that I asked you OR what lens you use for your flower stills? :D

Or Cumbria... ;) And thank you for the compliment. You don't need scenery, I've taken some with flower shots alone - makes them look interesting. You could try that if you're short on landscapes. Leish: I spy a blue 'grad ND' added in post-processing ;) Definite improvement though...

You know that I now have a duty to ask what camera you have :D Especially with the even skin tones you got on those pictures - they were really lovely. And Leish: Pfft, I like my church with it's subdued tones - though your edit is nice too. Though you've managed to bring out a halo around...

What she said :D And thanks Tansy - I loved the images of those two girls on the other pic thread - the skintones and the exposure came out spot on. I would have been so proud if I'd taken shots like that :) Leish: Pfft. I like mine the way they are, Missy! Well, I don't mind the more...
