    If you use Firefox there's an EXIF plugin, so you don't have to save images
    first before checking the EXIF.

    Thank you Whoopty; but I don't use Firefox.

    And about your pictures...did you intentionally set them to dark and almost nil colour tone? otherwise, I guess, they should be more colourful than they are now, right?

    I like these two sea-gull pictures. (Now I notice that, sea-gull has little red dot underneath its front beak)

    (Unfortunately, the four corners of the pic have a little black-out :crying:)

    Yes, I set them like that. I wanted a different look to the usual cathedral pics.

    And Firefox is awesome. Try it!;)

    Thank you Whoopty. It seems to me that pics taken by G7 are more crispy and fine than mine.

    I read from web that G9 is launching soon. It is 3" LCD screen (G7=2.5"), 12.1 mp (G7=10), in-camera red-reduction (G7=nil?), RAW support (G7=nil), IMPORTANTLY, it is $100 cheaper than G7 at least.

    I am tempted to have another p&s dc :) ...

    Why is this thread so quiet ?

    I have a few shot of sea gull today (Gary Point Park, Rmd.), and here is one :)

    The 2nd pic is a candid shot at the same place. How do you like it ?

    natural light source is always the best light source :) .... if you can cover up the two big disturbing bright spots at the lower left corner of the pic. that will be a perfect pic. :))) just my thought.

    hehe......those were two cardboard boxes that i put underneath my dvd recorder.
    mark, i have a different point of view. that wasn't a set up shot. in photojournalism or snap shots shooting. some sorts of imperfection should be ok. in fact, we should never alter any element inside your frame.
    but if we are doing some portrait shots for example. yes, you are absolutely right. we should get everything as perfect as possible.
    u got hooked on photography!:D:D:D very good!

    :) :) :) ..... so, sometime it is quite reluctant for me to press the shutter when I see this through the viewfinder. You are right, I got hooked some very long time ago for photo. But have been cool down some very time ago lu.

    The photographer; and he knows Photoshop too. :D

    Red is one of the best photographers I've encountered, really good stuff. He's really a standard "elite" photographer. :) They are few and far apart.

    kwun, that 5d belongs to my company and i've been using it for almost 2 years.
    i didn't do anything to enhcance the contrast. but i must say it's indeed different from what i'd seen with my naked eyes on that day.
    imo, shooting with a digital camera is somehow very similar to shoot with slides. they can make some situations to become even more dramatic than the real thing. trying is believing;)
    here is another one.

    dan, no teasing please!:eek:
