Re: To cry or to laugh?
It's also size dependent. While the 400x268 pixel version of <a href="http://www.trekearth.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=976174">this</a> got a measly 25, the 800x536 pixel one received a whopping 88. The...

Re: To delic: hi
Maybe you can increase the brightness locally to reduce the darkening. Some cropping may help too. Great photo regardless. Cheers!

Re: To delic: pp
Judging from the light on the mountain, I assumed that you have brightened the foreground considerably. There is a lack of definition and detail on the rocks, no? Anyway, don't take this too...

Re: To delic: hello hakan,
Ah, I did not notice Luko's comment and WS. I think I like it better that way myself but I don't favor the contrast increase in the WS. Your original is perfect in that regard. Best,
Hakan

Re: To delic: stitch
Thanks for all the details, Carlos. I have been shying away from stitch jobs for all the PP that's involved. Your excellent output is encouraging me to give it a try. All the best,

Good day Kristaps :),
You are right about the monitor problem. Calibration and different resolution levels make it impossible to have a uniform quality. We all struggle with it. I am viewing on an...

Re: To delic: Thanks
I drove up Akaretler hundreds of times, and never even remotely considered the area for photography. Congratulations for spotting this scene.

I absolutely agree that going wider would compromise the composition as you point out. I was really thinking about the swan being uncooperative in this case by not swimming just a bit further away....

Re: To delic: Coyote Buttes South
The Wave is in the north section of Coyote Buttes. Apparently, south is not as impressive, which is probably why I managed to get a permit on-line. I'm a bit concerned with driving the House Valley...

Coyote Buttes South-road condition

Re: To delic: PS adjustments
I use "save for web", too. Too much contrast and saturation cause loss of detail, more so in highlight areas. I haven't printed anything for over a year. I just view on computer screen, and my images...

Re: To delic: fall-off
Hi Caleb,
Yes, i was referring to the light fall-off in the corners. It didn't look like vignetting due to filter. I have been hearing about this being one of the issues with full frame but wasn't...

Re: To delic: technique
Forgot: I was going to comment on the smoothness of the girl's face. Looks fine because of her age. But the excess NR you mention would show on the older woman's face.

Re: To delic: technique
That's exceptional clarity at ISO 3200, w/ or w/o NR. These noise reduction software get in and out of fashion. Noise Ninja and Noiseware come to mind. They typically cost in the 40-50$ range as...

Re: To delic: Big learning curve
Thanks for the feedback, Pat. I guess CS2 may not get a plug-in to support D300 files to force people to upgrade to CS3. Best wishes,

Now I feel bad. I think you should keep the original title because it was inventive and it conveyed a universal message. You didn't even need a note with that title. The man represents a free spirit...

Hi Kristaps,
I see the connection between the birds, the title "freedom circle" and the note. It's just that the cyclist and his shiny bike grabbed my attention a bit more than the birdies. Never...
