1. Originally posted by iTim:Great sighting of the ISS on Sunday but I missed it with my camera (didn't have one on me). Luckily, there's another potentially good sighting tonight, so I'll head out to capture some of it (my compact only has 8sec max).

    Its a long shot, but no bulb mode ?
  2. Originally posted by germcevoy:Folks anyone able to help me with this. I've been dicking around with this shot for potential desktop wallpaper use but have just been musing a tablet app. Anyone able to exaggerate the rainbow for me? Not drastically but maybe 2 or 3 notches of contrast or saturation specifically on that section. Can't be done on my app. Any help appreciated.

    I tried it but cant do much with the JPG, there is too much macro-blocking and cant pull up any detail

    Do you have a RAW or at least the original JPG?
  3. Trying to sell this slate pool table for $400 ono do you think we are asking too much for it ?
  4. Perfect topic for it
  5. No you were supposed to say '' That's a great photo''
  6. I went out to try the P7100 last night and tonight for a while and I've taken some interesting pics with long shutter speeds. If you fancy...

  7. Delightful stuff, Santos. Can't have enough long exposure, love it. Are those power lines in the second/third photo? Looks very much like a light trail which makes it kind of bizarre.

    Third is my favourite, I like the colour. I was trying to work out the edit for the third one, it's cropped isn't it? I thought that maybe you'd used some tool to remove that grid in the foreground, because the trees look almost identical in position. Subtle, but much better.
  8. Thanks for the compliments
    I like subtle edits It's cropped indeed, a little on both sides, up and down. I tweaked the contrast a little, filtered the yellow range out a bit (not sure if it's the right expression?) and pumped up the blue/purple range... I like the result a lot.

    And yeah, they're power lines! The horizontal line on the first one is a plane passing by. I believe you can see all the tech details (exposure, aperture etc) on Flickr, but anyway... 1st one was taken at 8 or 10 seconds, 2nd one at 45 I think. Gotta love long exposures too
  9. Here's an interesting idea for a long exposure shot if you can get the weather for it:



    I really love this shot. He/she did take another three, one for each light, but this one really stands out for me.
