sounds like it may be worth changing the batteries, how old is the camera? are the batteries the ones that came with it?

this was sent through by another member to highlight just how NOT to tie a rig.

notice how the lead CANNOT eject if the line snaps because of the swivel, even worse is that the angler has used leadcore.

This picture was posted on another forum and then a thread in here, rather than move the original thread and tidy it up I thought it best to start a new one.

This is what can happen if you use leadcore with a lead clip, this fish was wrapped up and nearly lost its life because of a poor setup.

When using leadcore please only use it with a helicopter rig setup, such as the chod rig for example. There is another thread in this section on how to use/tie ledcore so if in doubt please have a look there.

thanks

then you might get a bit of sharpening but not much....

the lens usually bings out the detail, all you can so is sharpen (unsharp mask in photoshop) on a piece of software and you can over do it easily too...

what format was the original picture in mate? if its shot in RAW format we might be able to bring out more detail, if its JPEG you probably cant...

I got a copy of Photoshop CS3 and Paintshop pro (downloaded versions....)

to be honest they are good but if you are just into editing the odd picture then you dont need to spend the money on them, best getting the free versions (or cheap ones for about £50) and they should cover most things. Look into either Photoshop or Paint Shop and see which one does a cheap version, I cant remember which one does...

like the scenic one CarpAddict, again, maybe a little crop of the sky and some of the mountains would look nice..

for the ice one, your right the light was against you there, maybe an F stop as wide as possible (like F4 or something) and over expose slightly might help.... I see what your trying to do but perhaps the background is a bit congested and distracts you from the ice crystals on the branch. what you might have done was more of a close up of the branch and taken from a slightly different angle where the background was clearer.... good effort though
