  1. Cluck cluck meeow cluck cluck meeow, well its working at the moment
  2. Sounds interesting, have you considered allowing more than one entry per member on the monthly possibly up to 3, just so any one entering at the beginning can be involved still.
  3. What a pleasant surprise to see this, thanks for choosing and thanks to all for the comments.
  4. Yes, i think someone who understands PP better than me could make it work well.
  5. https://topazlabs.com/sharpen-ai/ref/70/ This is the full image This was the best i could get in just photoshop This is Topaz and photoshop.
  6. I think he didn't say get to know your camera because that was not the point he was trying to make. I took the main thrust of the video to be saying because different manufacturers assigned different amounts of gain to given iso values it made the values pointless when comparing one make/model to another. If i was looking to upgrade a camera body one aspect i may look at is how the sensor handles noise at a given iso, now if camera A gives certain results at iso 3200 and i see camera tests and forum posted images from camera B that match it for noise but at 6400 then i may be tempted to buy B. He was saying if you stop talking iso and use gain from the sensor's base iso the fudging of facts may not be as easy to hide, it only makes sense if you accept the light sensitivity of a sensor never changes, the increase only comes from manipulation of the original exposure.
  7. I understood totally the ISO invariance thing but chose to ignore it as i like to chimp my images, what surprised me was the inconsistency of the ISO values between different manufacturers, we know now why one ISO 100 is better than another.

  9. Welcome Kerry, you have some lovely images on your Flickr page.
  10. I was an early purchaser of the Sigma and then regretted that I didn't buy the Tamron due to the tripod mount availability, well you can now buy Chinese tripod mounts for the Sigma and Tamron. Link for Sigma tripod mount Link
  11. Great choice for all the reasons Clicker points out.
  12. Where i do a lot of shooting it can have a very distracting background and can get a bit bird busy, here is a before example. To get the image how I want it using Photoshop the raw is first loaded into ACR and I click auto, if i like the result i then open in photoshop. For this image I did, the resize first as my computer can be slow, 1024 on the long side. Cloned out all the OOF birds using content aware Leveled the image Then did a crop extending the canvass anywhere I felt it needed. The empty canvas areas where filled using content aware Subject select was used on the bird and then inverted. Lens blur was used on the background Resized back to 1024 due to canvass extension The result
  13. Thanks, don't know how but I missed this
