-= 70D owners unite! Post up pics and discuss!

Thanks for the help Will.

Thanks Jeff. I will try to get close to the trees. I think, I need to get Light room software. I do not see any concept like brushes in dpp and dxo optics 8.

I've had 4 possibly 5 versions of PSE and I'm still a noob! And that's after watching so so many hours of tutorials. I find Lightroom easy by comparison. Its the Layers in PSE that confuse my simple mind

I feel better knowing that I am not the only one

70d owners and MTBers. I am certainly on the right forum. I have a Trek Remedy 8 26"
Vitus Sommet Pro 27.5"

Haumoana this evening with the Sigma 10 - 20 f/4 - 5.6. The shingle which was washed out to sea in a huge flood a few weeks ago is gradually being washed back in by the sea. Oh how I love walking here!

Me during a recent Enduro in Ireland

Not much into mountain biking, but that second is a cool shot. And Ireland looks as green as it is fabled to be Love to see some landscapes if you do them My ancestry is mainly Irish, both Eire and Ulster, but never managed to get there yet!

Ditto! Layers do my head in, with the result I rarely use them, except for the very basic layer for curses or something.

I think Lightroom is amazing! Very easy, and yet can do all sorts of things if you want to. I do less and less in PSE11 now. Haven't bothered to upgrade even.

Good luck.

Rose,

Are you still using that Samyang Fisheye? I just ordered one (the 8mm manual focus) for myself as Christmas Present, will be fun to try out

Interesting that you ask, as i haven't had it out for a while, but was thinking it needs a walk ☺ today, and actually had my hand on it. Walking with a friend who is not a photog, but very patient. Even so I try not to cause too many delays.

Might take next trip to Haumoana actually.

I do love paying with it, both for the fisheye effect, and sometimes to crop a wide shot if keep focus on the horizon to reduce distortion. There's a thread somewhere here with some awesome shots! If I find it I'll link.

Get it and have fun ☺

Yeah I found the lens sample thread, lots of good info about defishing and panorama and focus settings etc. Also some really nice shots there.

I got it at a Black Friday deal at around 170USD (normally it's on about 250USD here in Sweden)

Way to go! Look forward to shots.

As an aside I went to Sweden back in 1974 when I was in my 20s. Dating myself I know. Camped around scandanavIa, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Gernmany, Nethelands, touring by motorbike, stayed in Stockholm. I think only spent two nights then got a ferry to Norway again (I think). Would need to check my map. Loved it, but partly perhaps because some of it reminiscent of NZ.

Unfortunately I didn't have a good camera and photos disappointing quality.

Sounds like a nice trip. Ever been thinking about going back to see what changed and what's the same? Been wanting to go to NZ and Australia for a while now, but never had the opportunity yet. Maybe in a few years

That's a great deal, and the lens can produce some good quality images. Just set it at f/8 and the focus distance at 3 feet, and everything from about a foot in front of the lens to infinity will be in focus.
