Digital imaging presents a huge potential for fraud.

Among the many honest photographers it is the unscrupulous photographer that concerns me. I suppose in the morass of excellently over...

Glasshole indeed!

How about one in brown. The same colour as Sh... you know what!

And he's positively PINK!

I wish I could sell a picture of a kids bike for a tenth of that.

You see better pictures on that Instagram thingy.

I think Mr. Slobel needs a reality and IQ check.

The money is best put to use...

Doh! Not available in Pink!

@hexxthalion

Sorry, I should have specified dynamic ranges modes of 200% and 400% applies to JPG only (as far as I know). DR400% is amazing.

@Barney Britton

That's not exactly true is it Barney. On the X100S there are two wide dynamic range modes 200% (minimum ISO400) and 400% (minimum ISO800). About 21 of the pictures have an ISO...

The main problem I have when shooting at wide apertures is that if you move after focussing you can think you end up with a soft photo. Often, you are just NOT aware that you have moved. Even a few...

@Emacs23

Why do people obsess about resolution. It doesn't make better pictures. Today, resolution is pretty irrelevant and most camera have more resolution than MOST people require. As a...

a) Paid attention and used the histogram
b) Used the exposure compensation knob
c) Used Wide Dynamic Range mode

Problem solved! I've had simply the best exposures from...

This is a real world SAMPLES gallery. It looks as if the shooter has picked up the camera and just gone out for a casual shoot here and there.

I think the shot of the girl at ISO6400 at f2.8 is...

a) Paid attention to the histogram in viewfinder and/or
b) Put the camera in Wide Dynamic Range mode

I doubt the camera is in 'wide dynamic range' mode. I use this all the time on my X100 and the dynamic range is incredible. Best I have used in any camera, including Pro jobs. The ISO in Wide...

Image manipulation is nothing new. Except that in the chemical filled darkroom it took a lot of effort, time, resources and skill to do it convincingly. Generally, such work was a one-off.

Today,...

I never liked the desktop version anyway, so I am not sorry to see it go. It wasn't exactly harmonious to use going from mobile version to desktop. I like using snapseed when I feel a little jaded...

To Easycass and AluKd

Many thanks for your comments, I appreciate them.

It will be very interesting to see how the technology, software and the direction photography takes actually pans out in...

@Alukd

That's true. I could build my own camera though, it's not that hard. I have given it some thought actually. Building my own camera one day. I have already mixed my own developer, made...

@Irata

My issue is expressed in my comment above yours (I hope it was clear). The ease of it doesn't bother me per se, I was making the comparison that in the 'old days' faking, composites etc...
