Definitely she did a great job and braved the elements to boot!Cheers,José

One shot today of my daughter, R7, RF-S 18-150, EX 430ii bounced behind me on the ceiling. One shot in a mall of my son, no flash, R7 RF-S 18-45.Even though the no flash photo was shot in less than ideal conditions in a shopping mall, the result was quite pleasant. Same with the flash photo. The tiny 18-45 is a nice consumer grade lens that takes sharp, contrasty photos.Bonus: I will throw in a photo of a tree taken at a local cemetery, just because I like it. I put it in as a large JPG if you want to zoom in to check how the lens resolves lots of little crevices in the bark.

Ding ding ding!  We have a winner!

Beautiful shots Lars! Thanks for sharing.José

agreed, absolute stunners!

I loved pic 3, very quiet kind of image.Just a generic question, you mentioned you have used DxO and few other tools, so in general, how much time you spend in achieving desired results on each image?I am asking because I am new to image editing, only dabble in lightroom mobile a bit and snapseed. But I work with jpegs instead of raw. I find myself spending 5-10mins on images at times and I was wondering if it's normal.

But I work with jpegs instead of raw. I find myself spending 5-10mins on images at times and I was wondering if it's normal.It's depends for the style you go for I believe. Most of the time I work with a selection and work the effect on those until it is right, but in general I spend around an hour or two for a set. There's no defenitive answer for it, you do it until it's feels right I guess. It is not unusual for me that I do an edit, go after another set and come back and start over because I felt I got it wrong. After some times, you build up a six sense on how you tweak things and you are getting faster. Like pic 3 (thanks for the feedback btw, from all the pics I posted it was the one I was most uncertain and tempted to remove it), I tried several settings, BW, bland, saturated, etc, I used Photoshop to remove the foreground distractions. Took me a while, probably more than most, until I get this result.hope its helps!

or "does my bum look big in this?"So first time out with the new R6 Mk2 and stumbled upon this scenario wandering the streets of Shoreditch, East London (UK). Still very much a novice with the camera, particularly its many focussing systems. C&C welcome, including the perennial question - colour or black and white?

catastrophe wrote:Notre-Dame-de-Pitié. A very dark church.I went to buy some wine frome somewhere close to the medieval village of Malleval (Loire). I spent about 20 minutes there with my camera.The church goes back to about the 11th century and like most old building pieces have been added as time passes. The village and church were destroyed during the religious wars in the 16th century. I think that it was burned down. The church and I assume other building were repaired starting in the 17 th centuryHi catastrophe,Fascinating images and history - this being our favourite (churches are always a challenge).P&K

Still very much a novice with the camera, particularly its many focussing systems. C&C welcome, including the perennial question - colour or black and white?Hi Ken,An intriguing shot, which immediately captures the viewers attention and draws them in.(Closer inspection reveals both the photographer and model are being quite 'cheeky'...).Well composed and captured/ processed. For us - definitely colour. We'd also try a mixed option - photographer and, possibly, foreground B&W (but keep/ pop the twin yellow lines). Alternatively a '60's' look. Not saying either would work out well, but it could be fun trying.P&K
