Ken,
The toning in your monochrome images is really beautiful. Do you still use your photoshop fill layer method?

Thank you - yes, that's how I do it. So far, it's the best and simplest approach I have found, but I haven't searched for a while. As we know, there are often several ways to do the same thing in Photoshop

So here's an example of some really heavy-handed post processing working out well. Suffice to say the image looked completely different out of the camera; two of the steps involve here include switching to "Tungsten" WB and then turning down saturation 75%

Yesterday was kite boarding and today stand up paddle boarding on the waterfront. The guy in the green kayak is considered passé. I'm curious to see what the next "in" water activity will be.

With the 21SE - the magenta cast is proving difficult to eradicate in all cases - some photos it's totally removed by cornerfix, others still look like this one.

I may just end up bringing the 5N along too when I go out with that lens.

Hi all. Brand new to the forums. I joined up for all the great Sony info I have found on here. Currently making the move from Canon DSLR's to a NEX/SLT setup. I cant be happier.

Michiel, that is a wonderful carousel photo. The composition with the cliffs in the distance is just spot on.

Here is a little macro from my NEX 7 using the wonderful Minolta MD Macro Rokkor-X 50/3.5, straight out of the camera using the toy camera effect. Hope you enjoy and I look forward to posting and learning here.

Tree hugger, knitted tree scarf???

What is a yarn bomber?

 

[f/otographer]

Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk.

While yarn installations – called yarn bombs or yarnstorms – may last for years, they are considered non-permanent, and, unlike other forms of graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. Nonetheless, the practice is still technically illegal, though it is not often prosecuted vigorously.

While other forms of graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing was initially almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places.[2] It has since developed with groups graffiti knitting and crocheting worldwide, each with their own agendas and public graffiti knitting projects being run.

Thanks, neither did I. Guess I'd rather deal with this than the painters.
