	Smart Sharpen works wonders ;) But you have to get the settings right for it to be sharp but not too sharp but still modest :lol: If that doesn't make me sound crazy then I don't know what will.

	They do look a lot crisper, may have to give it a go.

	Nice pics there mate :) Like Andy said, the less processing you can do the better. I set up an action in Photoshop (do have Lightroom but can't figure it out :lol: ) which does a couple of little bits to make the colours pop a bit more. Set this up after a show last year so it was quicker processing 130-odd pics :lol: Anyway, I ran my action on two of the pics you posted to see how it would come out and this is the result:

I found just using the camera and looking at the pics soo much more helpful than just reading about how to do it. Even just learning that say for instance I am going to use a fast shutter speed, I should look at changing the ISO etc.

	all nice efforts spence, a good first set. are these all straight from the camera or are you doing some processing on them?

	Well my Sony A290 arrived last week, have been having a play and getting used to it. This is my first ever SLR so excuse any pics that are not up to the usual standard in here ;) All tips are welcome. All taken at Trebah Gardens in Cornwall: I like this one for the detail it picks up: And these are the ones I wanted to practice doing, with different shutter speed settings, took me a while to work out that a quicker shutter speed needed other settings changed for light levels :rolleyes: All taken with the standard 18-55mm lens. Thanks.
