I would have thought that the laws of physics were the reality. I'm curious as to why you saw a difference. Im not sure the brushed finish would have mattered, so could the metal have been...

It does matter, light's electromagnetic nature prevents it from being affected by a polarizer when reflected from metal.

A couple of my favourites: 1) *The Photographer's Mind* by Michael Freeman 2) *Light, Science & Magic* by Hunter, Biver, Fuqua Number 2 may be a bit overkill, but it is considered THE...

Generally, leave the IS on unless your camera is on a tripod The handshake symbol is there to warn you that the camera has selected a lower shutter speed (the definition of 'lower' depends on...

Many P&S (including my own mid-range Samsung) have both electronic and mechanical shutters. The electronic shutter is what the camera uses for the shutter speed, then a simple single-piece of metal...

Let us say you are in a room with pure red light. You put a flat piece of pure white paper in front of the camra such that it fills the frame. No shadows or creases on the paper - jus pure...

That is an inherent problem with shallow DOF. A higher shutter speed wont necessarily help since the moment you press the shutter might be the moment you are shifting the focus - you've just been a...

Can I ask why you keep changing two settings if you are in aperture mode? Surely if you are entering aperture mode it's because you want control over that and want the camera to set everything else?

DPR forums can now read your mind, you potty-minded vulgarian!

Whilst I can understand raising one's arms to shoot over an obstacle, or for a different composition: I've never understood this mythical 'No viewfinder = Hold at arms length' I can tuck my arms...

like this. I think they would look even better if they were shot under much softr lighting, with the gradual fall off of shadows complementing the curves of the mushrooms.

Just to comment on this: the 1:1 refers to the ability of a macro lens to make whatever you are photographing appear as big on the sensor as it is in real life (though you may need to be at minimum...

As has been mentioned, the crop factor you are looking for is 5.6 The reciprocal of the 35mm equiv. focal length is a good _general_ guide for minimizing hand shake. As for stabilizers I...

When you say "not much vision", is it lack of focus in your right eye, or lack of light? You are aware that tthe viewfinder has a diopter to control the focussing into your eye?

Fuji have confirmed that the OVF is a pure OVF - no information or focus locks layered into it.

Yes, when you talk about seling your images, you really have to look at the competition to see where you fit in. Perhaps if you had found an interesting angle for the shot (maybe put the camea...

Oh no! Have I fallen into your trap?

Gorgeous. You must have known you had a great image when you saw that. If a lone Stag happeed to be crossing the road at the time through the sunbeams, and glanced toward you, that would have been...

No, it stands for 'Program'. By your own logic can we say that you don't know "anything about photography"? I mean seriously 'P=Professional' is a cliche that's often used to mock newbies.

End of Haiku.
