Whoops sorry I should have said it's the Nikki 18-105 VR which I got from Nes when I got the D3100.

It was my favourite IR it doesn't suffer from any hotspot I can see and it's a very handy range on DX.

Mmmm...

It seems I am wrong about the 'flash'. Have just been discussing this image with Chris and it seems he used a torch for lighting he placed the torch on the car roof then took the photo holding the flash down on the camera "because the camera flash is crap" in his words!

Apparently I was drinking the last of the hot chocolate in the car.

I asked if he moved the torch during the exposure but he didn't, it was just laid on the car roof. I would like to look at the original file and any shadows because I only have my phone with me. A big screen would be needed to examine the image properly.

Teach me not to make assumptions!!!

I've just watched a tv programme with a film of a car, backlit, driving towards the camera. In the middle of the screen in front of the car was a half moon....not curved but a white semi circle. As the car came closer to the camera and the cameraman zoomed out the half moon became.... half of a water droplet. It was a reflection of the back light scene.

I just wonder if there was a small water droplet on Christopher's lens???

Two posts BOTH advertising a commercial website. Really?
How's about introducing yourself and joining in with the community by giving your real life personal experience and suggestions HERE...as opposed to just pointing people elsewhere? It's just a tad self serving.

We have in the past had spammer who just join and then fill the threads with spam urls to photosites.  Hence Eric was checking the process so please dont be offended.

I as Admin and Robert as moderator watch posts especially from new members because of this past spam problem.  
Please dont be put off posting as every member has different and valuable experiences.

Like I said...introduce yourself, tell us your pedigree, your expertise, your interests, equipment you use, your connection with fixthephoto....whatever. Join THIS community.

Don't just keep saying "I like that shot ...by the way, go to fixthephoto.com for lots of articles".

Whilst there is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing others expertise and articles, two directions to the same site in your first two posts seemed a bit ....loaded.

This community may be small in numbers, but there is a wealth of experience here that if tapped, may have the answers you seek....assuming you joined for that reason. For example, to my certain knowledge, there is at least one member who was 'fixing the photos' commercially with Photoshop v2.....way back in 1994 BL (that's Before Layers)
:lol:

Anyway, we look forward to your future contribution to the forum. :thumbs:
