Agree for the girl, disagree for the baby. The baby picture works well.

Fireworks photos look really uninspiring if they are just photos of the bright twinklies by themselves against a black sky. To take a compelling firework photo, you need to have a wider composition ...

I assume it is pretty safe to say that this is for a DX camera, but even if it wasn't, I would still take the 18-55 over a 70-300 for the situation you describe.

I think you brightened the eyes too much.

You should never meet your heroes.

I create a custom profile for each camera using a colorchecker passport, because I feel an *accurate* profile is the best starting point for color editing/manipulation.

All the shots would look better if they were cropped closer.

Again, the device is intended to make it easier for people with large hands to hold the camera. It shouldn't be funny that most people responding to a question about who uses the device are people ...

So a device that is intended to make it easier for people with large hands is found to be used by people with large hands, yet you find it funny for it's sexual innuendo...

Yeah, no serious computer maker would ever make a high end laptop without an SD card reader... /S

Anyway, good for you for having principles. Fight the power.

I prefer to use a grip because I have large hands and it makes holding the camera for long periods less straining. That said, I sometime leave it at home when travelling to make the backpack lighter. ...

@Dheorl - Nobody is arguing that displays must be calibrated and profiled to be used for the enjoyment of photography. The argument here really boils down to nothing more than some "computer...

Again, I wouldn't limit my choices based on such mundane "principles." A computer having or not having an SD slot would not be a deciding factor for me, seeing how trivially easy it is to plug in a...

You know they do make USB SD card readers. The lack of an SD slot really wouldn't be a "deal breaker" for me, if other specs like screen quality and gfx card are more in line with what I wanted.

@mut - You do it your way, I'll do it mine. To blanket say it is not needed is to be rather obnoxious in the level of self-centeredness you bring to a subjective activity that millions of other...

@ Dheorl - It is more accurate to say that you "profile" the camera. "Calibration" is something you do when you actively adjust settings on a device. A camera (when shot in RAW) has almost no real...

@ dr.noise - Not only that, but 4:3 monitors are great because then you can edit 4:3 footage (that nobody watches anymore since we all decided it was horrible about 25 years ago) with no space for...

4:3 ratio is garbage Tommi. You should feel bad.

After I copy the day's shooting to the computer, then back that up to my local network, I format the card in the camera to clear it.

So tired of every instance where advanced algorithms are employed being called "AI."
