So sorry to hear this. His images will live on.....he was an inspiration-My condolences to Yuri's family

Hi Patrick...........Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.......Technical problems on pc.Well I've finally found out why I wasnt seeing the images.After I had done a recovery on the hard drive I set up broadband etc before I downloaded the latest updates.One I had the updates the problem was sorted.Thank You for your help it was appreciated.

I have just had another look at my portfolio and crotique forum and images i saw a moment ago are as before no longer available.It was even worse when o put a url to my portfolio ? Yes I'm baffled.

Thanks Jeff for your ideas. I too have have done a recovery on my pc.I have not yet re installed my usual progtams etc.I do not have firefox.I did have skype but have not reloaded it has of yet.I have ensured the Tools/internet/advanced/show pictures box in in IE is ticked etc..so still at a loss at the mo to know what to try. It seems to initially show a some pictures but in the critique forum especially it misses out a lot of pics and this seems to get worse the longer I am in it. Even my portfolio pics are temperamental.......Getting a guy around tomorrow to have a look further at this end.time will tell...but very frustrating! Thanks for your advice.

I seem to be having problems seeing any images..or maybe see one or two but

even these can go missing.I've tried adjusting all my settings and still no joy.

Anyone any ideas what the problem can be.

I agree with the comments about the dirty hands, the rings and the button hole and green tint. I would prefer to have the grooms body not so front on to the camera and background subjects a little more in focus + PS the distracting light.

 

Prefer your more formal shots overall.....a good start.

Thanks Josh.nice paint job then.......(not sure I would paint a car with a poor engine though) but I do look forward to going for a lot faster drive in the near future when the 'important' work is done

Page loading times have become really slow - no problems before.

Unable to navigate due to the frustration of waiting so long. IE often indicates 'page error' so not sure which end the problem is at for me.

Hi Josh, I too have had the same bogus high ratings removed yet again.I understand its important to do this.However in order to stabilise the rating system so that it is creditable would it be possible to block the specific 20 users that you are aware of before they rate any images?

Interesting to be informed that you intend to be doing this 3 days after you had done

Lost another 3 ratings obviously the rating system has problems. This 'problem' undemines the purpose of the whole system

lost another 4 ratings overnight.......obviously PN sytem has been infiltrated by bogus raters, that they are unable to prevent and are now dealing with after the event

I agree Charles I am all for the moderators policing the system but equally so be nice to be told when i have been deemed to be a victim and why as you mentioned.Dam and I thought I had a good pic! Well its back to the drawing board.

A couple of days ago I looked at a couple of my pics that i had posted for

critique and one had been rated 21 times and one 23 times and some good ratings

I looked today and the are now detailed as being rated 12 times....and the

good ratings are anongst those removed. do ratings startagain after a short

period of time....can anyway answer me why such happenings happen?

Many Thanks to you for your time, its appreciated and Good to have another pair of eyes and opinions...My Regards

Anthony, yes thats how it appears to me and thats despite focussing all shots on the word 'anagram'. Not sure if it happens in all settings ie centre weighted,matrix or spot...but i did ensure that the focussed spot indicator was present as I took each pic and to my eyes which are getting a little older now everything appeared ok through the lens.I will have to try to allow to aim lower. non taken with WA though, all just normal house lighting etc

1st 10thsec/f1.8/ 85mm nikon, 2nd 1.6sec/f4/110mm (70-300 sigma) taken at 110mm,3rd 8thsec/f1.8/nikon 50mm prime.....seems sigma win the day....Anyway I am going to play around a little more with it taking loads of test shot.<div></div>

another

this ones to me seems good...best pic ive had for a while....so i dont understand it.....I'm beginning to think that because of the heavier shutter in the d1x a lot more care is needed and given a tripod and care it does seem better.....maybe just not as user friendly as the d70

Hi Anthony, I've cropped this one. I focused tight on the word anagrams but it is also evident that the word Idioms (same distance)is a little softer.foreground ok as expected with dof and this is better than i have been getting

having problems uploading images either file too big to display or too small to be any use.One thing though is that there does seem a bit of an improvement putting the image sharpening on normal for some reason

and again

try again

2nd image<div></div>

I have uploaded a couple of test images taken manual focus and changed sharpening to normal...no post processing only reduced image size<div></div>

Anthony, Yes as you first mentioned I will take a test shot as you reccomended in fact I intend to take several now with sigma and nikon lens auto and manual then not do any sharpening at all in post process etc I will post one- a manual focus pic here.

I have a 50mm nikon prime lens and a sigma 10-20mm wide angle maybe an idea to see them also to try and find a common factor etc

 

Again Many Thanks to each of you....
