Yes... atleast 99% of the time....

have a look at this link regarding nef in linux.... dcdraw is some nice c frontends to allow you to view nef....

i use gtkam to grab my shots from the d70... gthumb to view and rotate if necessary... and gimp to do PP....

At some stage i might write a tutorial on Linux D70 Workflow....

Cheers...

Tutorial on doing infrared... very easy to follow and I'm sure it would be the same procedure in photoshop ....

Thanks xerubus

It was actually ajo43 who was keen on having a crack ot the IR.

I am interested too, however. I did some IR on film, both BW and colour. It was good fun, and I have a heavily manipulated shot of Aunty Betty, wide angle, BW IR, double exposed under the enlarger - I'll stick it somewhere for a look.Colour IR transparencies were a weird business - don't know whether you could simulate them in digital.

I got the IR filter for the G3 - cost about $60 too - and of course it doesn't fit on any of my d70 lenses - I will need a step up ring or two. I shot some digital IR using the filter - which as noted above is very very dark.

What was this thread again?

4 more days and 3 more sleeps to go on the Challenge No:1.

by **xerubus** on Thu Oct 28, 2004 9:45 pm

belle? That's a wonderful shot you have submitted... which lens was that? It is nice and sharp...

well done!

by **birddog114** on Thu Oct 28, 2004 9:56 pm

belle,
That's a very nice shot of you, very creatively, please tell people what's the trick.

by **MHD** on Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:04 am

Very creative!

by **belle** on Sat Oct 30, 2004 1:58 am

Thankyou all! You are too kind

Lens is the standard kits lens, I just stood with cold (to prevent lens fogging up) water over my head (ahh, the things you do for art)!
A fun photo to take even though I almost froze! heehe

Is that DIY portrait under the cold shower with tripod or hand held? Any fun?

by **xerubus** on Sat Oct 30, 2004 9:30 am

Andy,

Wonderful shot with great colours and contrast.... well done....

The great thing about competitions is that you get to see what a particular subject means to a variety of people....

Cheers

So I guess being in Vancouver I need to submit by 7p Sunday Sydney time? I wonder what time that is here on the Pacific North West of Canada?

Nice one Belle, I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do and I keep wanting to copy yours. :oops:

I don't know if anyone bought the August edition of Photography Monthly (UK mag). If you want some ideas then the results of their comp titled "Moving Water" are on p 26-29. Some great shots from the Poms.

Mark,
Thanks for the complement, I'm going to assume that you are referring to my shot. :oops:

We are catching the autumn leaves on their last leg here as most of them have fallen off the trees by now. I was on my way to a spot nearby to shoot a waterfall when I came upon this scene and decided that the reflection would be a different aspect of water.
The quality of the shots posted so far is awesome!

Very fun! I tried a mixture of tripod and handheld, I just realised this was one of the handheld ones. It was very dangerous and my poor d70 almost got soaking wet but handheld seemed to capture more life and fun which was interesting, probably because I was laughing at myself as I tried to maintain focus and balance.

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 11:25 am

done!
My entry is in... not exactly what I was aiming for but I'm pretty happy with it!

by **xerubus** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 12:20 pm

very nice shot MHD... i was wondering when we'd see a long exposure over rocks..

love the warm feel ...

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 1:17 pm

There were sodium lamps illuminating the rockpool so some of the light hit the foreground

by **Greg B** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:02 pm

Done.

I'm checking!

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:37 pm

You have postng rights...

MAKE SURE you have no popupkillers running

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:38 pm

admin options should be on the bar near [slideshow] and [logout]

by **phillipb** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:41 pm

I don't see why I should have any more rights then you, the admin options that I see on my screen is right next to [slideshow]
It says you have to read the rules first, have you tried that yet?

by **Killakoala** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:49 pm

It says you have to read the rules first, have you tried that yet?

Yep, tried that several times.

MAKE SURE you have no popupkillers running

I have the Google toolbar running but i turned the popupkiller OFF but to no effect. I turned the toolbar off entirely and it still doesn't show the ADMIN bit as mentioned above. All i have at the top right is

[slideshow] [logout]

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:54 pm

are you using your d70killa account? or your killa acount?

Make sure you use the one with the d70 prefix!

by **phillipb** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:54 pm

Are you using XP with SP2? if so you may have to turn off popup killer from the tools menu in explorer.

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:55 pm

oh and if anyone else has any last minute problems LET ME KNOW NOW!

Deadline fast approaching

by **Killakoala** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:58 pm

are you using your d70killa account? or your killa acount?

Yep, the D70Killakoala login. I assume the LOGIN screen that pops up is a similar POPUP to the admin button?

I uninstalled the Google toolbar completely so there is no chance of the POPUPKILLER stopping the popup.

Are you using XP with SP2?

No, just XP-Pro with SP1 still. I havent upgraded yet.

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:00 pm

ok just to make sure it works I am creating you a second account (keep an eye on the email)

You are now d70killak

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:04 pm

try with your old one first!...

I think I may have found the problem... (if that does not work try with the new one I sent to you)

by **Killakoala** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:07 pm

Fixed.

I logged in with the new account and it works.

Fantastic. I am uploading now.

Thanks MHD....

by **W00DY** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:19 pm

Done. Noy really happy with my entry at all but I thought I had to submitt something.

Hopefully I will be able to spend more time on the next challenge

by **sirhc55** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:20 pm

Hi MDH

I have made a cock-up!

I uploaded my image for the comp and realised it was too small so uploaded the same image hoping it would replace the original but it has not.

Can you remove the smaller of the two images for me and my aplogies

Chris

by **MHD** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:23 pm

not a worry

by **bago100** on Sun Oct 31, 2004 5:40 pm

Hi All
I'm far too late to enter the running water comp, and I still have to learn how to extract the EXIF data to meet the rules of entry but until the next competition and

Just to get into the spirit, here are my non-votable two entries

and if two entries are allowed

There are some fantastic entries in the competition though. Well done to all competitors and may the best photo win!

Cheers

Graham
