Nice Gary. You are a pretty diehard Moony.:) I watched for a while too. But holes in the clouds started showing up and I got a few good ones.:) Now go to bed!:):)

Hi Erv it's Craig, do you have a T 150-600mm to throw down with us?

Craig, the thing I really like about this photo is that you gave full details of the settings and programs. Too many share a photo and tell nothing of the technique and software used to achieve. Thank you.

Thank you to you and Nikonian72 for the Compliment & Comment. I forgot to mention, all shots are 1:1.

File Conversion, How To

bsprague wrote:

In the answer I gave you in post #2 I explained exactly how to do that. LR uses the word "Export" instead of the word "Save". All RAW images that are selected are Exported (or Saved as) JPEGs.

I attached a screen shot to help explain.

Thank you very much I got it now.

Gold flake in Quartz

Great little coaster. The gold flake has been covered over with epoxy. The coaster is 2.5mm thick and cavity is 1.5mm.
I used 17 images at .07mm each in the stack via Zerene Stacker Pro. Topaz sharpened, reduced the glare and brought out the true color.
Canon T2i at ISO 100, w/ Canon 100mm Macro, 1/60 sec at f/2.8. Polaroid Universal 48 Macro LED Ring Flash set to low power.

I took about 30 photos of snowflakes today and the smallest, about 1 mm in length, was the clearest.

Great job Dale, what detail.

File Conversion, How To

Thanks Prague
I also have PhotoShop so can I convert a batch in there???
Somewhere I can save a Batch from RAW to JPEG!!!
Craig

I don't want to get rid of the RAW file I want to do a 'Save all Selected As' JPEG

I was playing with this shot in Topaz and thought I'd post it. It's kind of dead in here.

Snoopy

Just thought I would post this shot of the Metlife Blimp with Snoopy on it.
It's the first blimp we've seen here in Santa Maria CA. A real thrill for us.

This is a picture of a replica of the original in Vatican Museum.It blows up nicely to 16"x20". It was accepted at an art gallery juried show. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and righteous war in Greece and Rome. The history of the statue is below.

Really nice work, some of the best I've seen at this Forum.
