Those are nice captures, Wirraway. However, the amount of noise reduction used is evident on most images resulting in severe loss of detail. I personally believe that with most P&S, ISO 800 should only be used in extreme circumstances.

Hi Tullio, yes I may have been too strong with the noise reduction, might have done a bit better with ISO 400 and ex comp -1, been ages since I shot anything, hope your still going well with your photography.

I'm still taking lots of pictures (I now have the A200...got rid of my Olympus gear). It's a nice entry-level camera. However, I haven't posted anything in a long time. As you probably have noticed, there is not a whole lot of feedback at the forums anymore and I don't feel like posting anything just for the heck of it. I've learned a lot from reading people's comments of my work but unfortunately, this is not happening anymore. It seems like the participation in terms of feedback is more around Q/A, technical and equipment related posts rather than comments on images.

Tullio,thats a pity you no longer post pics here, always looked forward to seeing your latest work, will go out again before long and try ISO 400 plus exposure comp -1 and see if that improves these street images although the lighting in the streets here is not always the best.

The church photo here is the only one I did not use Noiseware on and the exif is attached whereaswhen using this application wipes out the exif data.

Nice photos, Wirraway!-

You are really enjoying the w-300. I am also enjoying a Sony H-50 that I was able to pick up for $175. It is a great camera. I also have not posted much because we have been working in South America.

Hi Sarah

Thanks for the comments, just watching CNN on this Swine flu so take care while working south of the border there.

As for the DSC-W300, I find it a great little camera and can crop shots to an equivilent of 250-300mm without losing detail, just need tofine tunemy night photography a bit better. shot all the ones here under an hour during a walk.

Regards Ian
