Looking forward to seeing the results.

Guys, I wonder if you can help me with a question?..... Sometimes when there is a bright shiny spot of light in a photo (Like reflection off glass or something) it has a slight blue/purple tint to the edge of it. What causes that? I'm sure there's a name for it? Is it down to lense technology or just my poor use of the camera?!

I think it's called >Chromatic Aberration< and, as I think the article points out, is just cheap(er) lenses

There is a tool in Potatoshop CS2 that you can play with to try and minimise the effect, but it's pretty much the main reason that I'm looking at an SLR and some tasty glass after my compact Canon. That, and noise.

Edit: Alternatively, if it's a static shot then take multiple exposures and combine in photoshop using the assorted HDR tricks. Shorter exposure shots don't seem to exhibit the same amount of purple fringing around the highlights.

it's not your fault . Purple fringing is most prevalent on strongly backlit subjects – such as branches of a tree against the sky. AFAIK, it is to do with the sensor not being able to cope with the extreme and directly adjacent contrasts. Some digital cams suffer more than others.

There are programmes you can use to eliminate it.

If you go and have a browse, or even sign on >here<, then you will find out more m– especially if you ask on the forum section for your camera

Not sure if you can do it with JPEGs or if you need Raw. Not been really troubled by it myself...

Awww I want to play. I'm desperatly looking for a car to buy so I'll at least be able to join in. Went to look at a GT3 bodied Carrera yesterday but turned out it had no history so I walked so I'm back on the muscle car thing again. Nice pics as ever btw

Took a few pics in Morrisons car park earlier this week. Reminded me of some of the work I saw in here.

Don't know what it looks like to you. Seems a bit dark on my home monitor - it's better on the one at work....

nice shot Ben ... looks fine on my laptop, I'd maybe bring the lights back in a bit and dash the plate.

It's hardly like they're dead or anything, it takes no more effort than clicking >here<.

What's wrong with type116 anyhow? It's got talented photographers, very experienced VX owners and some bloody funny people!
