You'll get the greatest effect from the polariser when shooting at 90 degrees from the Sun - ie with sun on your shoulder, not towards or away from the big yellow.

Questions?

First one is cool, but i would have gotten something more in the foreground.

Flat scene may have benefited from the polarising filter?

That looks more like a maple leaf to me...

That's just me though...

still waiting for decent day to play with new camera my cats sick of it already

but im liking being able to do hell crops

Haha nice!

What megapixels is your camera? Because that's only just beginning to get a little grainy...

16.7 megapix full frame might have to send lens and body in to be calibrated to play together a bit better

getting green edge fringing (on egde of derailer) or just deal with it in post process

Wow, how'd you even spot that? And what sort of bike is that?

ooooh it does work! not to bad wee bit clunky(sliders a bit touchy and has to load every time you move them not a gradual change ) but does work

Wow

Thanks Bigfoot. I took some others like the first one of my kids in the foreground but I think their scale wasn't quite right.

Ah yes, I was looking at an oak tree the other day with it's roundy oblong leaves, and thought, I made a mistake didn't I. Anyway, it was a big leaf!

O.K i was down taking some pics of a mate surfing with a P'N'S ( 8.2pixal) , was kind of gutted as i got some mint shoots but would have been real good with a big camera.Also missed some good shoots.

I have know idea on entry level slr's what could i look at for around $600 ( for camara itself)?

Sorry couldn't be F'ed starting a new tread

that's so not an oak leaf... could be a sycamore, but totally not oak.

If you are wanting an SLR for surf photography be warned that 500 or 600mm prime lenses don't come cheap!!

Yes, I think it was probably a sycamore. (I'd already said I realised it wasn't an oak) The wikipedia site said it is commonly called the sycamore maple so as not to be confused with other scyamore's.

Surf , mtb and scenery , ill spend more if needed im the type that will pay what i have to to get the right stuff ....i just dont know where to start. (ill note down 500 - 600mm for surf )

Oh and looking at web sites $600 was unrealistic ill try for $1200
