As Slava pointed out, there are two types of noise: one due to high ISO (amplify the signal, therefore amplify the noise) and noise of the sensor. You can...
Well John, you know that in the Bible, David was a king.... :-D May your year be a crowning success (that goes for all the Daves, and everyone else too) Happy...
John David isn't even my first name. I had a few friends with David as their middle name- I was the lucky one LOL. They used their first names. Weirdoes! Haha ...
... Joe, I downloaded that particular frame action from the web but CS2 comes with a couple of them. They are on the Actions palette (next to history on the...
I got this guy with 70mm as this gull was super close to us. I think he let me get about 5 feet or so...that was plenty :-) http://www.pbase.com/image/54258425...
Hi all, I've posted two pictures taken these days http://www.pbase.com/image/54259135 (taken today) http://www.pbase.com/image/54259296 (taken on boxing day) ...
Calin Yeah, I am just toying with a matte or make that frame plug in I found. The next one is spaced better IMO. http://www.pbase.com/dpf/image/54259375 I am...
Calin That I particularly like this shot: http://www.pbase.com/dpf/image/54259296 The framing is cool, and the tones are very realistic. Nice conversion! -- D ...
BTW the image itself isn't very nice. It was the only one I shot with this comp though. I had a small amount of camera shake. I also had condensation on the...
Calin, They are both great. I prefer the boxing day one better. As Dave said you did a good job with the B&W conversion. It's also a great angle with a good...
... with this ... condensation ... Dave, Even if it "isn't nice" I really like it. I think I would try running Shadow/Highlight on it to kick the highlights...
very good pictures mike, personally i preffer 'no entry'. the combination of composition and selective desaturation leads to a great photo. cheers, calin ...
Hi Michael, the gray tones are excellent in 'yonge street'. I would crop at the top to remove the upper left corner (i find this corner a little bit ...
I find the second one better, and i like it very much; i would increase a little bit the contrast on the clouds, maybe by carefully dodging that area. anyway a...
Everybody, Just a reminder, while you can't make actions in Elements, you can use many of them. JohnD ... try to ... in ... comes ... that ... at ... the...
I missed some of the earlier threads about the frames. When I read though some of them it sparked my idea to try some again. I had this link from some other...
And as said many times over: Elements is just a great deal for the $. I think it is now coupled with various products...like LE used to be. But Elements is...
A different take on the same shot. The colors could have been probably any pastel type. I just messed around with this. Any way there is apparently TEXTURE...
Dave, I took a shot at your shot, its in the critique section of the pbase site. I did some different channels and went for a bit higher contrast, what do you...
John Not bad. Decent tones too. What I tried to do and didn't do too good of a job was make it have three distinct bands- like a rainbow. Yours ran in to ...
Just going through the members portraits http://www.pbase.com/dpf/portraits and I see we have a new one- Jessica. Looks like you had some trick side lighting-...
Dave, YOu made me curious, so i took a look at Jesi's self portrait. Jesi, If I had your face to work with, I'ld forget the haunted house lighting and go for a...
Dave I liked the color shot better...seems like a lot of noise (grain) in the bw version...loved the gull shot. My wife, the bird lover, thoght it was...
John, What you have done is closer to what I was picturing. I'd still like to see a bit more detail in the sky/water and would like the grass to be lighter in...
