No room for trying something different on Dpreview, just to many boring academic gearhead people.
Didn't expect to win with this one, but to finish last when a saw some very boring images on front...

thank you very much, John.

Hello flyfisher99, You don't really convince me. Better ISO? Next 3 and NEX 5 have great ISO 1600 (From someone who have work on film with ugly ISO 800, it's good enough for me for 99% of my...

Tom: Thanks for the compliment on my picture, your portraits photos are really nice too. Now, I must say than I don't really understand this threat. The 2 images you show look totally similar to...

I'm not pro, and don't need big cropping for shooting little birds. Don't like to show off either. So, like you, I have no need for expensive and cumbersome FF camera. For my landscapes, still,...

Nex-3 & 16 pancake

Sorry for using this thread, but I have just a question. My NEX-3 is getting very old, and I have the feeling than I will have to change it soon. Look to me than the NEX-3N will perfectly fit my...

This one either, no big PP here and the background was not black at all. (Shot in the meddle of my garden in daylight without flash ) Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Well, off course, if you shot only wildlife, you don't need big PP work to produce your images (already made by millions by other photographs), but just a big wallet for buying very expensive...

Ha ha! Really cool work! I also, now, use Snapseed (Geting very popular, I think) to finish my PP work on all my photos. I have the PC version. It's working great and give an extra "peps" even if...

Yep, sometime my HDR is overdone, and I personally like to do it. I won a nice Website with this one (Grand Prize Betterphoto, @ 1700 entry on the challenge)...

This is great!

Thank you Tim for your input. Make perfect sense. And your right, hosts for there work deserve respect, whatever their choice. PS: For the precedent post of this treat, sorry but I never feed the...

Thank you, Ruth, for your explanation, but why writing "no hdr" if you allow them? Actually, on 22 chalenges, 12 of them are "no hdr" or "basic PP". Boring! Maybe is a gearhead stuff who think than...

Placed 98^th in the challenge.

Bummer! I took a LOT of pictures from Odessa TX this week, but they're all HDR! ;)

Why so many hosts banish HDR? Does is not part of photography work? If it's badly done, does it will not be penalized by voters? Does melting shot with PS5 is HDR? I fond this rule stupid, and even...
