Mini-challenge #242 - Those other sports
I wasn't sure how to title this one since the idea is to post photos of sports that do not use balls. 'Sports without balls' and 'no ball sports' probably would not have passed muster. :blush: So this mini does not want any sport shots using a ball. Sports that are simply humans doing the extraordinary, or humans using… -
Mini-Challenge 239: your best of 2016
Since it's the end of the year I'll make it easy for you, I just want to see your best 3 pictures of 2016. No special theme is required, only that you made the picture between Jan 1, 2016 and Dec 31, 2016.

Help optimize sharpness in small image
I need to learn how to maximize sharpness on images I reduce in size and dpi. I am shooting images of products for display on a website.

Advice/Opinions sought on RAW workflows please
Some of you may have seen my rambling as I climb the steep curve of converting to shooting and working with RAW. OK, I'm sold and converted. Out of all the advice I have two possible workflows I could follow and I wanted opinions from experienced raw shooters as to the merits of each. Camera Canon30D, Shooting RAW with… -
Mini-Challenge #254 - Pets in action
This is my first task as guide-dog on a mini-challenge. So have patience. I was tempted to take one of my favourites – BIFs - as a theme for this mini-challenge, but finally decided that it was a little too special. After hard considerations I ended up with this theme: Pets in action. I sincerely hope that this theme will… -

Please mention approximate location of the shot either in the title or an… -
How to Get to The Next Level?
I know there's a lot of great advice on here, so I'll see if you guys can't offer some solutions to my problem. I've been shooting car and bike events for years now--with the same three cameras, and I know them well. The three cameras are a Olympus e-20n, a Sony dsc-f828 (I actually have two of these, but one's a backup),… -
