Agreed, the Epson 9900 HDR is an amazing printer. What you can get off of the HDR inkset is far better than any monitor. You may still be able to get more gamut on a top end monitor, but not most....

I don't think either looks good. You may have lightened the shadow on her face, but the skin tone is not so great and there is no dmax in the background elements making it gray and mushy. In a...

The better thing to have done would be to process the raw file so that the background was a little darker and then dodge the subject locally. Making an over all adjustment like you did flattened it...

I wouldn't say it like that. The E class is more practical, where a Miata is far from practical. But a miata performs well and can be tossed through the corners far better than an E class could...

Both cams are 24mp, so aside from slight differences from the AA filter, they should be pretty comparable.

Maybe I'm a bit old school or a snob, but why use someone else's presets/looks instead of creating your own? Isn't that a bit like cheating or removing individualism in our art? I'm not saying it's...

Who brought up DOF? In many cases shutter speed trumps DOF. DOF is non issue, many people need more anyway. The subject of too shallow DOF to be useful is a crutch. You may get better high ISO by a...

Why not tell that to all the magazines and agencies that refuse to accept over ISO 400. FF isn't noticeably better noise wise at ISO 400 vs. an OMD.

Not really, the 35-100/2 should really be compared to the 70-200/2.8 on FF. Size and range is similar, yet the Oly still gives you a stop faster shutter speed wide open. How big would a 70-200/2 FF...

The physical aperture size may be the same, but since the Canon has to cover a much bigger image circle, it's still an F4 due to that amount of light being spread out over a larger area. With the...

Sure Leica doesn't, but look at the difference in price tag. You can't really compare the two, there are in different leagues. It's kinda like comparing a Rolex to a Timex. The fuji really offers a...

Actually that's not true noise. It's artifacts from a large amount of high frequency sharpening that is accentuating the noise. You do realize that the sharpening needs to be a little over cooked...

I've owned enough G lenses (I've owned every Minolta G made and have borrowed the Sony ones from Sony) to be able to look at it and tell it was a G just by the rendering of the image, scaled down...

Nice pup! It may be sharp, but what I think makes the lens so special is the color saturation and contrast it produces. It has great saturation, yet the contrast isn't over the top making for great...

Waldo Nell, the G in GNU is silent, pronounced as "new" or like gnat is pronounced "nat"

Those of us who have been using GIF files since the early days have always pronounced it as "jif".

Plenty of people have used it not just for that but also to help achieve longer or less exposure. I used to shoot iso 6 copy film, ND grad filtration + solid ND to black out the sky in color work...

I already carry multiple lenses, tripod, supplies, etc.. When you go a few miles in a day, every little bit helps. What's wrong with wanting technology to save you time and weight? Why would you...

Actually with slower film we could use less ND. Especially when we shot larger formats and had to stop down more. Sure but it would be nice. Have you ever backpacked with a group and had minimal...
