Thats pretty much what I think the new 'Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom' is.  We'll see how it does. Bruce

The simple answer is that there really isn’t a simple answer.  Except whether laser or inkjet is better and as other as emphatically said, the Inkjet easily wins for photo quality. We quickly...

Powerful imagery…very nice. …except for those ugly NY license plates of course.  You even manage to make them tolerable and turn it into an asset:) Bruce

This falls further into the esoteric FWIW category. The anomaly in the histogram  from my last post is primarily caused by a strong shift in the green channel as seen in this histogram.  Original...

I went to bed last night thinking about those two variants…the original and the print-scan.  This morning I rescanned the images (the print was still in the scanner) as it allowed me to work with...

This whole issue intrigued me so I printed the image also.  I used my Epson R1900 on Premium Photo Glossy to print.  From experience there would be a minimum color shift as compared to any matte...

(LOL  While I was composing what is below, Tonkotsu Ramen stated pretty much the same thing in three concise sentences.) There is a new paradigm shift going on but I don’t think it's a true ‘new...

I agree.  Nice shots:) Bruce

It is conceivable, actually likely, to see an image on the monitor where certain colors just can’t be printed on your printer.  Or its possible that the printer can print the colors but the monitor...

This is not an easy question for anyone to answer because there are so many factors to consider and any response that is really accurate will probably be deemed as lacking in substance.  The part...

To me a landscape is successful if it makes me want to be there and see this with my own eyes.  In that you are already successful. The most powerful aspect of your image is the lovely path, which...

Thanks for the comeback. Originally this project was ALL about lighting but quickly devolved:)  Today I started fiddling with tools I don’t usually use, for the purpose of increasing localized...

Ok.  Here it is three weeks later…this thread is off everyone’s radar… and I’m still perseverating on this shoot. I was experimenting today with software and arbitrarily went to my folder...

Like many thing in life…personal preference dictates much of how we choose to go about things.  And thus it is with lenses and portraits.  Too close at too wide an angle lens and faces in head...

This was my immediate thought also but the more I looked at it the more I was drawn in and the one I come back to.  It’s hardly any sort of mistake as evidenced by the exposure on the...

The most interesting thing I take away from this thread is the varied workflow and approaches of all the individuals that replied. Of course there would be different visions of how the flower...

I figured out what you were doing after i thouhgt about it...Thanks for getting back Bruce

This went over my head but it seems fundamental enough that it should be obvious to me.  Would you explain, please. Bruce

Everything everyone is saying is true but since this is a complex subject, here is another way to look at the issue. Counter intuitive or not, the last thing we want is for the white flower to be...
