Hi Sheila! This shot is just perfect as it is for me, really! The slight blur of Noah add movement as he is definitely approaching close to the lense...or animal..;-) ! The light is what it should be there...more light might not add I guess! This is a quite lovely and adorable child moment...love your lay-out with the hand standing out the sce..!

Thank's Dough..;-)

You can resize it with a professionnal resizing software as shortcut photo zoom wich has otions for the best way to enlarge depending on the type of rendering we need (crisp , smooth)..it works fine...if your original file is not noisy or having jpeg artifacts wich sould be clean first!

I do like them both ;-) Good job!

Thank's for this article..explained a very easy way..helps me for a next purchase ;-)

I like it...stylish and creative...;-)

No 2...agree with the nails an watch to be tone downn and focus on the ring and flowers...;-)

lol :D

Thank's a lot Dough for this ...I would have miss a lot of great shots without this! I'll browse it weekly...;-)

I really would like to see this histogram too;-) Usually there is a command in editing softwares for screen capture..but there also freewares wich allows to do it as faststone here http://www.zdnet.com.au/downloads/0,39024478,39098049s,00.htm I would like to point that what tvernucio mentionned about the peaks in the extremes is often right (with normal range of tones ans contrast) ...but not with all conditions.. and does not mean the image to be wrongly exposed in a very dark or contrasted scene..as a sunset or anything else..as the histogram will show the major portion of the ton sale in the left ,a bit in the right...and an almost flat line in the middle..having almost no middle tones...;-)

Thank's...It does help me too!

Thank's Dough! Happy to join people here!

Here...it's a very good link...and the zone system applied to digital too.. does applied to digital too...the paper..becoming the digital darkroom...;-) http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/zone_system.shtml If you un derstand the gry card issue..you would explain to me please? Ciao ;-)

I am checking my links Pascale..one is explaining an easy way with a graph...I'll find it and get back...But your way with spot metering is the right way...and with dark areas..you have to shot for the dark as spotting an area that you want to be gray (zone V) compensate for the exposure an then get some more white in post prod (or darkroom)...though expanding the tone range...It's a question of seeing in black and white in terms of tones you want...then decide youself what will be grey zone V...wich the spot metring allow you...Mais je ne comprends toujours pas alors pourquoi utiliser la carte...comme tu dis...;-)

C'est gale pour moi aussi Pascale et pour le me truc...lol...;-)
