Exactly! The user can do something about the blown highlights.
What can the user do about orbs? Shoot at ISO1600.
Exactly! The X10 also has weaknesses.
It seems Gary has altered the EXIF data and tricked you into attacking a X10 image. Oh well.

Apologies if my lack of photographic knowledge is catching.
Actually the highlights are not blown, either in the X10 image or the G1 X ones.
We literally get these hideous white skies at this time of year for days on end. I am looking at one right now.
Everything is undifferentiated pearly cloud.
That's what he never realised even when he was attacking the G1 X shots.

once upon a time
there was a
PhotOptimist who
purchased a Fuji
x10 and after
great thought
he went out
into the big
old wide world
and decided to
take one photo
although it was
very challenging
by and by along
the way he met
a man carrying
a load of hay....

X10 is the best PS camera I own to date.
I'll enjoy it with its all shortcomings.
You try to keep your website for reference!
I'll not buy in it and I'm competent to have my own opinion (Sorry to say I'm an engineer)

For Fuji perhaps?
It would explain a few things.

...but it did not have an orb. That's important. He has a 0% orb success rate..

Like all the mini-minds you find yourself in a corner.
Can you be more specific or is this rhetorical?
Do you mean "Maybe" I have an affinity for him? Or do you mean that I may be like him?
Please address your hypocrisy after clarifying the above. "Inquiring minds" wanting to know and all that.

Lot's of things come out of Germany, some of which was sent back in the 40's.
Who gives a damn?

Oh - you're right. I left out the most important part. Thank you.

I don't. I would rather he take his own advice and let the camera do the talking. He is so far incapable of displaying a skerrick of sound logic on this forum.

I think he is in a downward spiral now, escalating his posts, we should give him the break and stop, the point was made.

We get the same white skies here, filters help a little, but I usually go off into the woods to find streams and take advantage of the diffused light for longer exposures of running water....yeah, I know, trite.

I sincerely hope you're right but I don't think he's capable of stopping, regardless.

I've been wondering exactly the same thing. We actually haven't seen any worthwhile photographs that have been ruined by orbs - just awful shots with orbs in them.

It does nothing for one's credibility to make such patently false statements.
The St. Paul's Cathedral images would have been first rate had they not been destroyed by ORBs. There have been others of that ilk as well.

I disagree. My opinion is just my opinion, that is all - you cannot accuse me of making patently false statements just because I have a different opinion to your own.
And in my opinion, Paul's shot would have been much better had it been shot at twilight so there was still some detail in the sky. Dark skies and bright lights aren't necessarily a recipe for a good photograph. Similarly, Gary's famous meat shot would have been much better if it had of contained perhaps the stall owner, or a customer, or at least some flies! As it was, it was a photograph of meat with an orb in the middle of it.
As for my credibility, I've never claimed to have any - why don't you ask everyone else what their credibility is when they comment on images - or have some now attained the status of "Professional Orb Hunters" and are therefore to be revered?

In addition to the above - just in care you think I'm picking on other peoples pics - I would also say the same of my own photos which were taken to show orbs. None of them would have been keepers had they not had orbs in them. For example, the view of Surfers is simply a snapshot - it would hardly be proclaimed a work of art. Hence, I say the same about Paul's shot of St. Pauls.
Photo essay. Look it up.
Close ups as well as wide shots and stall owners.
Do not follow in PhotOptimist's footsteps.
Trashing other people's photographs is not a credible way to defend Fuji, and if you're going to do it, at least put up your oh so much better ones.
The most recent guy to waste time trashing other people's photographic skills REFUSES to put up ANY of his own. That is always the way.
