During the course of my move, I’ve been back and forth five or six times in the last two months (mostly by RyanAir, some by BA) and I have not at all had a problem bringing the camera in my Lowepro backpack. Not one question, straight through every time.

I wish that I were closer!

I’m not keen on the composition, but the processing is VERY nice!

Nikon also does D80 specific courses as well; I don’t know if there are any running locally to you but it may be worth checking into!

I don’t think I’ll ever stop being a newbie. There’s always going to be someone out there with something I can learn.

My pics are a combination of what the customer wants and my own personal style. They hire me not only because they like what I can do, but they like the potential things I can do for them-stepping out of the box so to speak.

Brilliant! Thanks, everyone.

Thank you!

This is pretty much straight out of the camera from last night, so I haven’t had much of a play around with it. Changing the angle might look better, although there’s something I like about the way this angle works. May have more of a go with it later, though!

Ah yes-the levels conversion brings out a bit of uneven skin tone, so I ran Noise Ninja over it slightly to smooth it out.

I had a bit of a crack at it.

My main issue-and what I think is making it look flat in your conversion-is the loss of true black in the shadow detail on the left hand side of the image. There’s a shallower range of tones, which is what is making it look muddy. I had a look at the histogram after downloading, and it was skewed in favour of midtones, so I created a new adjustment layer and dealt with that, then erased the bits where there needed to be more detail.

Ahh, I get it now.

I get some pretty vast differences in contrast and colour temperature between Safari and Firefox, but I’m still not seeing it!

Oo. That’s doing my head in.

I can feel movement in it, I’m just not sure it’s a good thing! :)

Rob, Lorraine….okay, I’ve looked at the second one on several monitors now, and I do not see the shadow that you’ve mentioned! I know my eyes are bad, but….!

Help? PLease?

Thanks! I think I may re-crop that first one…I see what you mean.

He’s not the easiest model to work with-it’s my husband-and he gets so tense around the camera! And in every single picture I have of him he’s got his head tilted on an angle…I’ve threatened to get one of those braces that Victorian photographers used to keep their subjects still. Unfortunately for him, he was the only person around to photograph (my tripod is broken so I can’t even manage a self-portrait!) so the lot fell to him.
