  • Have the LR developers figured out how networked drives work yet? Perhaps they should ask their colleagues in the Creative Cloud division for some advice.

  • Nice. I especially like that second shot, over the bow of the ship. Lots of color and details, and it's got a great sense of movement and place.
  • I looked at the Newport 10 this weekend and almost bought it. Still might. Right now I'm using the semi-soft Sony case that came with my RX-100 bundle from Focus Camera, which is ok, but a little...
  • That's a good point. If the client actually owns the image, as in a work-for-hire arrangement, then the photographer has no further say in how the client chooses to use it, or who the client can...

    Handsome camera. I haven't bought a Nikon since the Coolpix 900, but I wouldn't be so fast to write this off.

    I'm sure Nikon would prefer to have a faster lens to pair with this body/sensor...

  • Film is just as artificial, of course. Your Portra uses combination of chromogenic dyes carefully balanced for a specific color response and contrast curve, and an emulsion designed to minimize the...

  • I own a 5D Mk II, but we have a 5D Mk I body at work that I've used quite a bit on the job. It's a very nice camera. Fast enough for anything short of action sports, and the output has a certain...

    Did Pentax provide a pre-brassed body or are you guys wearing sandpaper mittens?

  • Commented on The Lightroom catalog article

    LR has a lot of annoying flaws and omissions (support for catalogs on network drives) but I don't understand the angst about the LR catalog. If you prefer to work with folders you can pretty much...

  • I don't see where Kim ever said that Stephen Shore was a street photographer. He simply suggested five things that street photographers might learn from Shore's work. Photographers are allowed to...

  • You're welcome to your opinion. As a general rule, however, I've found that anyone who seriously uses the term "fauxtographers" is swimming in a very shallow pool.

  • That's silly. Stephen Shore's photos aren't brilliant because they were taken by a guy named "Stephen Shore", they're brilliant because they're exciting and visually striking images. Either the...

  • Commented on Is Instagram 'debasing photography'? news story

    When I take B&W landscapes I sometimes use colored filters or cross-polarizers to enhance contrast. For portraits, I may prefer a soft-rendering lens with touch of spherical aberration to add...

    When I photograph B&W landscapes I sometimes use a set of decamired color filters to emphasize clouds, or a cross-polarizer to enhance contrast. For portraits I may prefer a soft-rendering lens...

  • Commented on Is Instagram 'debasing photography'? news story

    If there's a threat to photography it comes from the mindset that produces foolish articles like this one. Tiresome pundits who know nothing much about the history of photography, yet somehow...

  • This is a really tone-deaf response to a sincere plea from their users. I've been a flickr user for a long time. The site has stagnated and no longer does anything particularly well. Causal users...

  • Beautiful. The soft, cool background and the sharp foreground details combine to great effect.

  • Commented on Just Posted: Pentax K-01 review news story

    I buy cameras to take pictures with them. Not to admire their beauty or impress other people with my remarkable taste and sophistication.
