Ooh - I've actually got a photo titled 'The Look'; and I've always felt it was one of my favourites somehow. The Look by Bodian Photography, on Flickr

I take quite a few photos of postcards. I do what a poster above does - put the camera on the tripod, use a 50mm lens (macro or otherwise) pointing straight down. It's really useful to mark out on the backing pad where to align the photos so they are all on the same place - helps greatly with...

Sounds like I need to give it a go. On LR import, I also have an import setting (Auto, bump up clarity and dehaze a bit), which gets rolled into the 1:1 preview. I'll try the FRV though - I guess there'll be a free trial.

https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/hello.759686/ Great photo. They always say in books / magazines 'focus on the eye'. How on earth are you meant to actually do that when they are that tiny!

Absolutely lovely - and I know how hard they are to capture like this. Spent an hour or so yesterday in the park taking photos of damselflies laying eggs, then had to go back today for an hour or so in the burning sun with the 'right' lenses. Ended up with hundreds - of which only a couple of...

A lot of my culling involves zooming in to see which of 300 damselfly photos has the best eye detail and so on. In LR this means running the 1:1 preview before doing this, otherwise the load time for every photo is ridiculous. So, I set it running and go and do something else. I then find it...

How do you order batteries if they're not allowed to be posted??

Where do I start - I have dozens!

Yes - that's what I did, and it all came out colourful, but more of a blurry colour. Should have read up first! Or even come back in, had a look at what I had taken, and gone out again!

Love the moon in that. Those lights are presumably Grange-over-Sands. Which is below! I wish I had read up a bit on how best to take photos though - I think my exposures were a bit too long, so it became a colour blur rather than those lovely streaks that many have got. I'll try again tonight!

Expected again tonight https://news.sky.com/story/northern-lights-could-be-visible-in-england-and-wales-as-severe-solar-storm-to-hit-overnight-13132757

Somewhere near Tilberthwaite / Coniston? There seem to be quite a few there this year. Not that I can ever see them except for a blur which 'might' have been one flying past... Good capture.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Wonderfully put!

That's what I keep telling the Domestic Manager! I currently have four shoulder bags, a waist bag and two rucksacks. Each of them has a use, depending on what I am doing!

Outdoor Photography - because it's not about techy 'how to' stuff, but has interviews and so on. I get mine as a 'birthday present' subscription. Which means it's free for me, and saves my Auntie having to think of something new, that I don't actually want, to give me every year.
