The help is much appreciated matey. Will the Nikon Capture NX2 do the trick in terms of the editing side to reduce noise (not that the camera is noisy - pretty impressive on that score) - I have that software, but admit to being pretty lousy at using it (need to read the tutorials).
Cheers
Yes it will though Photoshop CS5 or Nik Dfine are better.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Tried for months to get some sense out of NX2 but gave up in the end. Must be the most non-intuitive software ever invented, makes PhotoShop look easy. I cannot believe that software like this can be released comercially.Quote:

Two from Boxing Day. A friend's radio controlled buggy. Temperamental little thing, didn't last too long so didn't get many shots off before it was pack up and back to the workbench.

There's not enough photos in this photo thread !
Here's a couple I took this afternoon.
It was windy and overcast so it was a bit difficult even to get the feller in frame let alone sharp...

Finally a break in the weather today so I escaped to Cedar Creek Falls early this morning. Apart from 2 other photographers I had the place to myself.
I see the Nanny state police have been at it; fencing off access to the falls proper to stop the idiots (I suppose). Not idiot proof though as I managed to drag myself here and there for some close up shots.
All done with the Sigma 10-20mm f3.5.
