I cant figure out how to get the stray hairs out of number one, since the background is gradient. I normally just clone them out but its not that easy with this one. lol

A few from a recent trip to Pyongyang this Summer.

The pre-dawn silence in the city is complete - not a single thing is moving - not a single lamp is on. It's not serene, but eerily inert and lifeless.

As the sun emerges, looking further up river to the North. Still no signs of life at all.

Incomprehensible density of tower blocks.

The North Koreans really seem to have a deep understanding of making housing as starkly impersonal as possible.

Traffic girl... and a propaganda poster showing a ballistic nuclear missile.

Now due to the nature of being under strict control of what I could photograph, many of the photos on the trip had to be taken out the windows of a vehicle, and there are some reflections and/or other artifacts that spoil things. Are there any ways (filters or something) to minimise these sort of artefacts at the time? I tried keeping the lens shaded as best I could (without alarming the officials), but is there anything that can be done post-production?

other photos that show what I mean about the refelctions can be seen in this album on my picasaweb site (link).

Thanks for any feedback - esp re photographing out of closed vehicle windows.

Cheers,
Ty

Try the patch tool just be careful crossing hard edges. Or carefully clone/paint it out using a small brush and numerous samples and making the brush harder as you get closer to the head!

Yea, I'll try and zoom in alot. I wish i would of shot this at 21mp instead of the medium setting of 9.9mp. It would of been better for zooming in and cleaning up those hairs. I have a Wacom tablet, so it should help.

I do shoot raw, my 5D Mark II has different raw file size; 21mp and 9.9mp. For all my general shooting i set it to the 9.9mb setting. But for Fashion stuff i should be shooting at the 21mp, it will allow me to zoom in larger for finer editing.

Well this is my first attempt/experience with SLR cameras. Bought a Canon 50D with 18-200 lens only yesterday. Took this shot from my balcony here in Vancouver - Canada. Comments are welcome...

I'm not sure if the view you have there would be cool, or my worst nightmare.
Nice colour contrast between lights & sky. Loving the ship in the far background.

Big G · #**733** 25-10-2009

I've only had my camera a week so I'm still learning a lot about how to get the best pics.
My camera is a Canon 450D with the out of the box 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS lens. Shot in manual exposure mode most of the day using the shutter speed to adjust to the light levels of being outdoor in the reserve to in the reptile house.

We visited the west midlands safari park today so took some pics

0"3 f5.6

1/40 f5.6

showtime · #**735** 13-12-2009

just zapped this over the back wall
bit soft/fuzzy! had to shoot it handheld as light was fading fast!
no PP just a jpeg straight outta the camera

mole2k · #**736** 13-12-2009

It's been misty here today!

showtime · #**737** 13-12-2009

nice flat water for the reflections

mole2k · #**738** 13-12-2009

Yeah there wasnt any wind worth talking about today so the water was relatively calm which made for some nice reflections.

Big G · #**739** 20-12-2009

Still learning a lot about the camera. Recently started taking pics in RAW which I think is taking better pics. Now I need to learn what I need to touch up on the PC. Here's a pic of my Golf taken tonight.

0.3" 4.5 32mm

any tip would be appreciated
