Placed 9^th in the challenge. Coming in for a landing in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Quite frankly, I don't know how Simon, Barney and the others at DPReview get up in the morning and go to work. I don't think I could do it if all I had to look forward to was the incessant whining...

At first glance I didn't see much difference but I pulled up the loupe and looked at the base of the sculpture. Image B has more blur than image A when looking through the loupe but it's hard to...

Thank you Larry. I'd be glad to help with any questions you've got about the 30 second exposure. Joe

Thank you Andrew. I shoot RAW then process in Lightroom and Photoshop. I typically use Imagenomic's Noiseware 5 for noise reduction and I really like it. It has options for tailoring the amount of...

Thank you so much borocay. You made my day! Joe

Thank you to everyone for your comments. Joe

I was in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic last week attending a destination wedding and woke up early a couple of days to take some shots of the sunrise with my LX7. This is a 30 second...

Any 37mm filter will be compatible as long as you have a DMW-FA1 filter adapter ring, or one of the many knock-offs. Some filters may be quite deep and cause vignetting at wide angle but that will...

I'm not sure what went wrong but I just noticed that the editor lost a couple of paragraphs containing technical info about the photos in my previous post.  The first shot was a 15 second exposure...

It was nice to see this thread bumped up as it gives me an excuse to post two more LX7 shots taken with the B&W ND110. Two Sundays ago I went out for a hike on the Chedoke Radial Trail in Hamilton...

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Best of luck Rudy. You've been a positive influence on this forum and I've enjoyed looking at your photos. The 7100 looks like a really nice camera and I'm sure you'll have a great time with it.Joe

Thanks Ted. Check out the City of Waterfalls  site for information about the other falls in the area.Joe

Hamilton bills itself as the "waterfall capital of the world" as it's home to 126 waterfalls. Many of these are due to the fact that Hamilton straddles the Niagara escarpment, the geologic feature...

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. They're highly appreciated.Joe

Hi David,Most of the 10 stop filters are a single plane of glass. While you can use two polarizers to simulate an ND filter, they suffer from some problems. The first is that at higher densities,...

My parents are from the village of Santa Cruz on Madeira and I've visited a few times. It's a very beautiful place so I'm looking forward to seeing more of your images.Joe
