Now this is what I had in mind, guys!

Sunsets, old train stations and the era of steam. Wonderful pictures.

This is a photo I took may years ago of my Mk IIa Norton Commando 850. It was called a Dunstall Commando after the manufacturer of the fairing, petrol tank, panniers and silencers that gave it it's distinctive custom look. It was the first motor bike I had stolen from me. As a poor student at the time I can tell you I cried :(

What's the liner in the background?

It is one of a dozen or so cruise ships that use Vancouver as a base for the Alaska cruises.

I have no idea which one that is. There is a new one there daily...

Please.... this knowledge comes from my days of 35mm SLRs. I don't know for a fact that this would translate for fine digital cameras like the Nikon D40X &
Canon 400D. If anyone that actually knows instead of spouting off like me, please respond.

You should possibly in all due respect explore the use of filters for pics like this. I love the content, but am throughly mystified by the clouds. In fact a clear filter (not actually clear, but a slight yellow) will not only enhance all pictures, but will also protect your lens. Scratches & even repeated cleaning will take their toll on a lens. A clear filter will cover & protect your lens so that most of the time, all you have to clean is the cheap filter (in comparison to the cost of a lens)

To get back to the use of filters. I had a Canon AE1 & Canon FTb. I loved filters. Through the use of filters you can enhance the sky, & enhance the clouds, yet not change the foreground itself. There's so much more to photography than just recording what is there. Filters will bring more into a picture than is actually there. And you'll say Photoshop..... Photoshop couldn't come close to touching what filters do.

Dune, what you just said is all I know about filters now, so I'll be interested in any advice you get. I've just put my photos up on picasaweb http://picasaweb.google.com/brilliantphotos to see if this a quicker/easier way to publish my photos. Definitely quicker and easier, but maybe not better since picasaweb doesn't allow for a full screen slide show and cuts down all my bigger photos. But a useful way to publish photos for free. Just get a gmail account a go to the photos/picasa options and you get 1 GB free on-line storage.

the filter is known as a UV Filter . . . it cuts out the Ultraviolet spectrum and allows for one to see more detail in a photograph . . .

also - one CAN enhance the photo 'further' with PhotoShop etc - but it is NOT the same IF a UV Filter HAS NOT BEEN USED 'ORIGINALLY' . . . and the Filter is actually one that every Photographer SHOULD USE - based on the Main Point being - IT WILL Protect the Lens . . .

Thank you Richard. :^D

OK, to ask one question more, can these filters be used on digital SLRs as well as film SLR?
