one of my efforts....the best tip I found,at least for my camera,was to shoot in portrait mode....simple but gives a taller result.

^ seems obvious now you say it

Like the first one a lot.

Some pretty cool urban fox photos in here. Will, you might need to invest in a trigger...

Question: if I want to take a b/w picture is there likely to be noticeable difference between setting the camera to b/w over converting it afterwards?

If you shoot b/w directly, or shoot raw and convert JPGs in camera, then you'll get the camera's rendition of b/w more accurately then using a preset in post. Depends how much you care about your camera's rendition of b/w. I wouldn't go from colour JPG to b/w JPG in post though, personally - there's often a lot more latitude in the raw files that would help you get the b/w tones you want.

Thanks!

great shots ^

I went to Beaulieu Motor Museum this morning for their Porsche event, which was fun. I took my X-Pro 2 and had it in point and shoot mode - aperture, ISO and shutter-speed all on A for automatic. Here's an example:

Cranking the exposure compensation dial round to +1 got things reasonable, but the camera didn't appear to be metering the light correctly - to my eye, anyway.

Was this to do with the nature of the day? It was bright but overcast.

Or is my camera borked? How can I tell?

Was there bright sunlight directly on the car? If the metering was set to spot of centre weighted then it's likely that it has exposed light on the car which is much brighter then what is around it.

Neil, it's hard to tell, that shot looks underexposed. You need to do some test shots in different lights. My D700o routinely overexposes - to my eye anyway but then I don't care much about shadow detail.
