Page 2 of this. Al Beaty has a copy of CS3 he offered.
I am currently in limbo... My copy arrived, but the website won't accept it for the program. I called them up, and it is registered to someone else. They will not change the registration unless the original buyer asks them to...
So, I have sent a message to the seller, but I don't know if *he* is the original either! It looks like this is not going to work for me, unfortunately... :hunf: I don't even know if I can *use* it without it being registered to me...

Bloke, br br From your description of the action ... (show quote)
No, I did the hdr in software on the PC. The camera went into bracketed mode, so every time I hit the shutter, it would take 3 shots with 1 stop difference between them. It was handheld. Let me see if I can find the originals...
Oops, looks like I sent 2 copies of one of them...

This was my first day out with my new SX50. It is a wonderful little camera, with the emphasis on 'little'. There are a lot of controls on that little body, and it is awkward to hold it without the base of the thumb coming into contact with some of them. I'm getting better...
Somehow, I turned on the auto exposure bracketing, and couldn't see how to turn it off - the manual is pdf only, so i didn't have it with me. I figured since I was taking 3 shots of everything *anyway*, why not try my hand at this.
This was shot handheld, and there may be some ghosting visible - another shot the same day had a horse with 2 noses! I would appreciate any comments...

Hi Hankwt, br br I'll second those who are taking... (show quote)
I also got a copy of CS3, from ebay, purely to qualify for the subscription. Now, I find out that it *may* be a student edition, so might not even qualify. It is nearly a week late in coming, and I just want to be put out of my misery! There is no other way I could ever get my hands on a current version - my PC cost less than PS! I don't have that kind of money.
Seems to me that adobe have 2 choices, they can accept my money, or they can refuse in which case I will be working with CS3 pretty much forever, and they can kiss my... Well, you know!

This appears to be about play and dominance as the young elk took considerable care not to skewer the photographer.
That is a hard way to get a few shots though!

Yeah, but I would love to see the photos he shot while that was going on!

Since you invited me I thought I would have fun with it.
I actually like the original, although the vertical crop looks good too. I think being 'zoomed in' that bit more, or looking fullsize at the original, the cars on the road add a lot of interest to the image.
My only niggle is that ugly dark mark on the shoulder of the road, where someone seems to have lost his oil or something. I would have taken that out, personally.

Full moon photos do not come out as good as other moon phases. To much light i think.
It's not so much that there is too much light, more a case of the light being too flat. The best results always come from the area around the terminator (not Arnie, the dividing line between day and night). The sun illuminates the rims of craters and mountains while the depths are still in the dark, so you get a lot more detail.

Many thanks Geoff, it's well worth a visit. Couldn't agree more Bloke. Are you into Big Band and Trad Jazz? I used to play banjo with an R.A.F combo when I was in Singapore 53 years ago!! (double eek)Take care Jim.
I am not really into jazz. I was in an army band for many years, and have played in all kinds of combos since. These days, I play it in church occasionally, but that's about it. I write some music for the choir and handbells, and occasionally an arrangement which contains a part for the trombone. Just for fun...

I just had a try at the moon with my sx50, a few minutes ago. These are uncropped, unprocessed in any way, and were taken handheld.
The first was taken on auto, but then I tried going manual and I think the results were better. One of them, I zoomed back a bit to catch some of the fence on the neigbour's balcony, just to give a bit of context.
Actually, the auto one is not too bad at all... The fence is barely visible, although I can probably do something with that.

I spent a couple of hours in the museum yesterday and here's some snaps to try to give an idea of what to expect if you ever visit. A great day out if aircraft are your interest, and it's free entry.
I spent a few weeks at Cosford back in 1980 doing a military darkroom course. We got to spend time in the museum hangars with nobody about. It's probably changed a lot in the last, what, 33 years (eek!). I did like the TSR2, though. Never should have killed that project off!

Oh, and I love the detail you caught around the terminator!

Nice shot! I want to try that with my new sx50, but it was too cold and windy last night... I really need a new tripod, too, but I may try some handheld and see what comes out.

55mm is no way a long enough reach to get to the moon. 400mm would be better suited f/11,iso 100, 1/6ss, -2ev, tripod, mirror lockup, manual focus. !39,000 + miles away.
Your distance is a bit off... The moon's average distance from Earth is close to 250,000 miles!

Why not use Cokin P series
Do they still make these? I used a lot of their filters back in the day, but I haven't seen them around for a long time. As for the original question, these are a great way to do selective ND, as you can turn and slide the filters in the holder.
