Detail Man

The ownership of major media venues being held in the hands of less and less corporate players, combined with the death of newspaper journalism, coupled with the populace's willing desire that...

I have noted of late a certain flippancy on your part regarding the Golden Tablets. May I remind you that those who ignore the divine credo that "more pixels always means more detail" do so at...

We're talkin' "quantum foam", grasshopper. Time for you to bone-up on a little String Theory ? If one is not showing their ignorance, one is not posting on these hallowed forums of shame. :P

Throughout the testing, I couldn’t help but feel that the lens retains something of the character of the original chardonnay; moderate overall contrast, moderate microcontrast, fairly good...

His Highness is presently in the bath, meditating on phased array sub-Micron synthetic photosite aperture window implementations as applied to quantum foam level read noise cancellation schemes. :P

The time-out for complete loss of a composed post appears to be at around one hour. This bug arose almost one month ago: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51327411 ... was declared by the Editor...

The metering that operates in all but Manual shooting mode operates by the previewed Image Brightness (not by Exposure on the image-sensor). Image Brightness includes the effects of ISO Sensitivity...

Exposure = (Scene Luminance) / ( (F-Number)^2 * (Shutter Speed) ) If you want to change the Image Brightness for that Exposure setting, change the ISO Sensitivity. In Shutter Priority, the...

Publish 12,728 more similarly non-rabid posts on these forums, and some readers (might) believe you.

I fully agree, and have the dubious status of being a citizen of the nation infected with moral leprosy leading to seemingly permanent moral blindness in the name of alleged self preservation. I...

You have clearly established that you "do not do subtlety", would be lost in any social situation requiring any inhibitory activity whatsoever in the frontal cortex, and have become (or always...

Yes, Art, your point is well taken. From Adobe's statement's it seems to at this point remain deliberately unclear how they would treat a customer who "got off the bus" and then decided to "reboard...

It seems that you have no technical reasoning supporting why such an approach would be taken.

Not quite that simple, chuckles. Just as perceived Lightness (around an adapted level, and within an approximately 100:1 range) varies non-linearly with an exponent of around 0.45 (which the...

Energy is in units of Joules. Energy transferred in time is in units of Watts. See above. That energy is being transferred is assumed. I should have said "instantaneous power". I guess that you...

SHOULD READ: (Radiometric) "Intensity" in optics is in units of Watts (Joules of energy per unit time) per Steradian (angle). "Irradiance" is in units of Watts per unit area (in square...

Note that 10 times the log to the base 10 of a ratio of squared values (such as power) is the very same thing same thing as 20 times the log to the base 10 of a ratio of non-squared...

Well, there you, go. Pure genius. Buy CS6 and the upcoming ACR 8.x is said by Adobe to run on it. By the time that ACR 8.x versions end, you very likely are going to have "popped a gizzard" from...

If discussing the issues that you purport to raise is "craven shilling", then what does that make what it is that you are doing ? There must be some similarly complimentary term you can dream up....
