Newbie's First Post - Couple From Today

[Fireblade2K7]

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and after a good read and a wonder around I thought I would join up.

Being rather new into photography myself and recently upgrading to d-SLR I am very much still in learning mode!

Well lets get onto what its all about, photos....I've got a couple of shots of some swans I took while out today wondering around a riverside town today.

C+C most welcome :D

Nice shots Stu. #1 looks like he's coming over to see what you got. :)

[ArcticEd]

Both are very nice! You should save the EXIF data with the pics - helps other newbies like me learn more...

Nice shots Stu, welcome to the forum. If you had framed your first shot with the whole reflection it would have been a fantastic capture as it looks like you would have a good clear reflection. Well done.:D

[Alex Paul]

Beautifully exposed , and very sharp:) Nice stuff Stu :D :D....

[Reyno]

Nice captures for a first post. Welcome to POTN Stu. Looking forward to see more of your work. Enjoy and happy shooting.

[KTollig]

Great exposure great shots well done

Welcome Stu
Nice captures of a beautiful bird.
Also like Bromm said it would've been nice to see a reflection shot also.
Camera and lens info would be good.

When I have processed the RAW file and export it to 16 Bit TIFF there is no option to keep the exif info, it automatically removes it, this is with the software supplied with Canon's.

The only way I can keep the exif is if I export as a JPEG or an 8 Bit TIFF which to me are both sub-standard compaired to the 16 Bit TIFF.

Any ideas or workarounds for this are most welcome.

Thanks
Stu

Very nice shots here Stu. Welcome.

[Fireblade2K7]

EXIF info has now added to each shot, I managed to extract it from the originals RAW's :D

I do believe that you don't need much help from us. You have a great eye for composition and your skills for exposure and focus are shown nicely in your captures. Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing.

[Sindri Skulason]

Excellent shots. :-)

[Fireblade2K7]

Thanks for all the kind comments, hopefully there will be more to follow soon after this coming weekend, I'm going to try and get out again possibly to the coast (Wales) if I am able to.
