Great ideas, Captain C- you just made me a better photographer!

As an eye doctor, that is one of the reasons I give for recommending non-glare, or anti-reflective lenses with your new glasses. It improves the persons vision and mutes lights shining at them.
Very cool. I will keep playing around. I know the basics- highest F stop your camera will allow. Meanwhile, I did some editing in photoscape- quite proud of myself actually.
that is a cool shot! Seriously, I wish I take/edit a photo like that.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately, my camera only goes down to F8.
Maybe I will play around in photoscape.
Yes, thanks, that is the effect I am trying to get. However, I was taking pics of the whole tree so I will try for just part of the tree. I don't have any filters so that is not an option. I do use photoscape, though- do you have any idea what to do in photoscape?
BTW, I got this idea from looking at my tree without my glasses on (I'm nearsighted)- the lights glistened all over the place- looked cool
Hey fellow hedgehogs:
Is it possible to take a picture of, for example, my Christmas tree with the lights blurry (and giving off a starburst effect), but the tree is in focus? I was playing around with all different settings today and could'nt get it.
Thanks
Mike
I have to add a +1 to that. Since stumbling on to this site a few weeks ago (don't even know how I found it) I read it everyday and learn something new everyday. I think this is a great site and y'all are wonderfully helpful.
Thanks
Mike
Funny- I was in Chicago this summer and I took many pictures reflecting off of "the bean". Lots of creative photographic opportumities when you have a surface that is that refelctive and the city skyline in the background.
Thanks everyone for giving me many opinions and options.
Y'all know more than me.
And, Pete, I know I checked my software that came with the camera but i will look again more closely. It make sense that if the camera can shoot RAW images, the software that came with it should be able to edit them
Thanks again
I'm not shootin with the big boys yet- I have a Lumix DMC FZ28
What made me bring this up is the recent discussion on taking pictures in RAW mode. I need software that can edit a RAW image
Hi group:
I need some opinions on:
1) the best "paid-for" photo editing software (I assume Photoshop)
2) the best free editing software
Thanks so much
Mike
