<p>Hi<br>

I was in Petra last year with my Nikon 18-200 VR and Sigma 10-20, and only used the 18-200 for about 5% of the shots. </p>

Hi George, do you have an example you can post?

OK. Select Add New Adjustment Layer, select Black & White Layer, click OK and in next screen use sliders to create perfect B&W balance, or just click OK. Then make sure you have selected and are working on the new layer, select Brush tool, make sure at top of screen opacity and Flow is set to 100%, also select brush size to suite what you are trying to do, and make sure brush colour black is selected. Then paint over areas you want as colour. Hope this is clear

As Michael says, and here is an example<div></div>

I think Jos is right as far as "Plugins" are concerned, but you can load third party "Presets", which should be copied into the Lightroom\Develop Presets\User presets folder.

You can also try http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Are you able to select Colour Mode III in the D80 (as in the D200)? If so this gives the brightest colours.

<div></div>

I have Lowepro Nova 5 AW. I use the 18-200 VR as standard and have 2 other lenses, plus flash and Powere grip all in the bag at the same time........brilliant.

<div></div>

I have the D200, the 18-200 VR and a Sigma 10-20mm with the SB600. I am over the moon with this set up. In my bottom drawer I also have a sigma 75-300 so if I am ever lucky enough to go on Safari in Africa I have a bit extra....just in case...but will I ever use it????? Not too sure.

I don't find this a major problem. I tend to hold the lens barrel when I am shooting so creep never bothers me, whatever the angle. Also I find that whenever I finish as shot I return the lens to 18 or 200 (usually 18 as is neater) and move on to the next shot.

Glad it's orkd out. I for one will be keeping an eye on this guy's site. Best Regards Andrew (an All)

Andrew, I have had an email form Rina H and when she sent them the URL to photo.net showing her picture they immediately responded by removing it from their site. Looks like they are being responsive so far. Good luck

That should get his atteention but I can't understand why I have received a response and you haven't. The Mail address I used was applegrafics@hotmail.com. Good luck anyway. I have also sent details of this response to as many people involved as I could.

Hi

I wrote an email to the site a few days ago and jus received this response

 

Dear Gerard

I think they are saying if you idetify your foto's to them they will remove them.

Hi Andrew

I have just stumbled on another owner of one of the Photo's. The following http://www.worldcolleges.info/photography/largeimage.php?name=10&id=6 belongs to RinaH. I have mailed her.

Hi Marina,

glad be of help. Maybe you should write to the website director. The least they must do is remove the photo's from their site but it is up to you.

Best Regards

Gerry

My God...where is this guy going to stop!!!! I bet he has never even seen a camera in his life, let alone used one. Looks like a lot of money is going to have to be paid out on this.

Hi Andrew

well, I have been doing some detective work. The Bee Eater belongs to Vezon Thierry

http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=1354063

 

Cuciureanu is either Alexandru or Rares...members of Photo.Net also. I have asked for heir email addresses. It angers me even more to see that "Sundar" could also be a member of Photo.Net. The name appears in the member directory.

 

I totally agree, what is the point and what does he think he is going to achieve. I am also particularly angry as I work for a UK University and this site targets colleges etc by the looks of it.

Regards

Gerry

Thanks Andrew. Looks like we should also contact Glenn Traver.....the picture of the Duck still has his copyright mark on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I will have to wait until I get home to be able to access his email address but in the meantime if you want to let him know also. Maybe you can email Bill Gates about the Windows sample shots also. You have to give this guy 8/10 for stupidity.

Regards

Gerry

Hi Andrew

I will do that and have also notified .NET people. I recognise quite a few shots from his portfolio, and spotted yours straight away. I will let you know what Marina has to say on this and best of luck with your actions also.

Hi

I have just noticed the following picture by Maria Cano on this guys site also. What a cheek this guy has. How do I reoport this>????
