I think my Dolica was comparable to the benro and slik tripods that you linked to... stellar reviews on Amazon for it too. However after seeing it rattle under high winds, I realized I need...

Bob, Is the CF model worth the huge premium over the aluminum one? I hear it's lighter and better at damping vibrations... but more prone to shake in wind? If I need something that's really going...

Horusbennu? Never heard of them... From your comment I'm guessing they're knock-offs of carbon fiber Gitzos? Please share your experience as you get more chances to use it!

It seems like perhaps a better alternative to the Manfrotto BeFree... I'll look into it thank you!

So I have been working with a $50 Dolica tripod for around half a year now since I recently got into photography. I thought it was fine and didn't understand why people were buying $1000 tripods......

Wasn't quite sure which forum to post on... photos taken on Olympus OM-D with Panasonic 14-45 or Olympus 40-150mm. Thank you!   C&C for other photos welcome too, see my...

Steve Huff had some good things to say about this Zeiss, and I've been interested in Zeiss lenses for a while too... but I also know that the Olympus 45/1.8 is a great lens. Both are supposed to be...

Dilemma - I want a wide angle lens and am torn between the following lenses Olympus 12mm f/2.0  $800    Fastest, cheapest (by a little) but least flexible Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8  $1140    Still...

The scaling only affects font, icons and such. It doesn't scale images in photoshop. I've left it on the Larger 150% setting the whole time and never had issues with LR or PS. Images will view at...

I haven't gone through the whole thread yet, but at least on the front page nobody has mentioned that you should get a few additional lenses - preferably primes. While a OMD with kit lens is better...

I think the rule of thirds is generally ​preferred​ unless there's symmetry, then the image can be centered to emphasize the symmetry.I'm no pro though ;pCool photo though! I like the symmetry and...

I must admit, some people here are pretty rough.For those that have provided constructive criticism to an amateur that is not a full-time professional photographer but merely someone that really...

TEdolph is back! I agree with many of your comments. I hadn't put too much thought into taking the photo but I think it's a photo I'll return to re-take with the tips I've gotten here.As another...

When you say exposing for the blinkies, do you mean the orange/blue highlights of the over/under exposed regions?I'll have to revisit the manual for adjusting the EVF/EC settings.thank you!

After posting this photo here and on my facebook, what I learned is that photography is very subjective. A lot of people on my fb commented that it was boring and composition was bad, but responses...

Thank you for the C&C! I will go back to the spot and try that. Get more space above the pedestrian sign while keeping the geometry in place and lines together. My flip-down LCD will be handy!!

Speaking of underexposure, I've been frustrated with my OMD because images viewed on the camera tend to be brighter/more-exposed than RAW files viewed on the computer. Details of course can be...

You have an interesting point... As an amateur, however, it's difficult for me to see what I could've done differently to show that the photo was taken with a much better camera. I would appreciate...

thank you for your C&C!I agree the subject is boring, as another commenter had stated, adding a person walking in that photo would've made the photo more interesting. I think I'll return to this...

I like how your PP adds contrast to the photo, it makes it very dramatic. However it is a tiny bit overprocessed for my taste. I think my processing for this photo was influenced a lot by Ming...
