That is unbelievably generous, a really kind act, I'm stunned, thank you.

Hi Jo, thank you for the comment about my family that was lovely, at the risk of looking a little dumb, though I seem to find that quite easy !! what is PP? I think the forum is great, so many people willing to advise, its really refreshing

PP is short for post processing. :)[/quote]

Doh !! a really Homer moment there for me, it becomes so obvious once its pointed out, thank you. See, I find looking dumb very easy :oops:

Years of experience, not just guesswork, see, also try vasoline, thin, in a circular motion leaving a clear centre spot, sellotape, crinkled coloured sweet papers (plastic).

Use a Cokin P holder

Never ever put vasoline or any other material directly on your lens. Put it on a cheap filter but not on the lens.

That is waht I meant, sorry if that was not clear, hence COKIN FILTER HOLDER

I got the picture :) it was clearer when you mentioned the filter on your next post as well, and after I did a little old google on the filter holder it all made sense. I really appreciate your tips, thank you

Hi all, my name is Tom, been following Ugly Hedgehog for a while now with the daily emails, picked up some great and useful advise along the way. Got myself an entry level Canon 1100D with the 18-55 Kit and a 55-250 EFS f/4-5.6 IS lens as well. Here's a few pics of mine, critisize away, I need all the help I can get :)

Thank you very much for your kind words, you are absolutely right I did shoot using a high ISO in each and every case, I am just learning about noise reduction at individual channel levels now, I will then re-visit the original images and see if I can clean them up, once again thanks :D

must say 1st is good, last is not enough contrast, did you breath on the lens, it is an old trick and far better than filters or photoshop

WOW, that's exactly right, I read about it on another site, tried a few shots, thought this was about the best of a bad bunch. Really impressed with your stuff on your website by the way, real skill to get those motion shots :D
