There are no mirrorless alternatives to a FF DSLR and a 17mm TS-E, for example. This is a favourite combo for some, and a perfectly valid reason for sticking with a DSLR. Even though it has nothing...

This one (sorry it took ages to respond, haven't been on DPR for a while...). It wasn't a particularly funny one, I think it was in Polish.. Something about the morning not starting without these...

That would be a fail. Unless you handhold a Sigma 200-500mm or something...

Thank you, joger!

I've wondered a bit about this myself, could this be attributed to the declining physical constitution among the general population? Would current-day photographers collapse under the weight of an...

I can see other reasons as well. For example the availability of (ultra)wide-angle tilt-shift lenses. I use my DSLRs most of the time, even though I use live view a lot and I do have a mirrorless...

I have used my 24mm TS-E quite successfully handheld, although in such cases I've pretty much only used shift to avoid converging verticals. Proper use of tilt to maximise DoF is more fiddly, and...

This is really good, the light on the snow-covered ground, the shadow of the tree and the clouds all come together just so. Congrats!

Placed 1^st in the challenge. The sun is climbing over rainforest-covered limestone cliffs surrounding the Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park.

I tried a few of my images for fun, and found out that one of them had been turned into one of those demotivational posters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demotivational_posters), and the same image...

"Lamp on bridge" is my favourite for sure. Well seen and composed.

Definitely my kind of image. I like the symmetry between the foliage at the top and the fallen leaves at the bottom.

I would really like it, but the haloing around the trees, and between the hills and the sky, is a bit too distracting for me. This is something I also struggle with from time to time, how to get...

DoF is not the only factor in background blur, though. With an identical DoF, a longer lens will have a more diffuse background due to the difference in perspective. DoF only tells you within what...

Thanks!

Placed 39^th in the challenge.

I happen to have the 5D2 and the X100, and while I don't have a 35/2 for the Canon, I do have the 40/2.8 STM, which is a pretty close equivalent to the lens on the X100. The Canon combo does beat...
