Everything he says directly contradicts the DPR model of photons and buckets. I'm calling baloney.

How dare you people upset Roger with your silly bickering and rancid insinuations. That man is a secular saint who lifted an entire generation of equipment-starved photographers on his weary ...

Making sure I had all parts of my subject in the frame. It's incredibly easy to shoot a person and leave out half his foot in the shot, or take a picture of a building and not leave enough room to ...

Mind is now double blown. And what do you mean "if" they're photon counting. Rishi and Beau Brummel both explicitly say that the sensors ARE counting photons and that the wells can get full and all...

I missed this. When did we stop exposing to the right and start worrying about highlights?

This story is giving me a nervous breakdown. DPR editors have assured us that you can’t improve low light performance with larger pixels or with higher ISOs. Pixel size doesn’t matter and we should...

DON’T FLY OVER PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. No matter how good a pilot think you are or how new your drone is, It is inevitable that at some point you will lose control of the aircraft or that it will suffer...

I agree that technique is as important as equipment.  In my experience shooting at f/8 and using a tripod, the camera’s mirror lock up function, and a remote shutter release will give you ...

Why is the word tonality in quotes? Is there something ironic in the way it is being used?

There is no such thing as “innocent” copying especially in 2018.

I can’t switch to mirrorless because I don’t have enough hard drive capacity in my skull to store all the acronyms that everyone is always throwing around.

Since you are one of the very few people here who actually knows what you're talking about, I hope you don't mind me asking this: Are saying that I need a rear-illuminated color checker to create ...

Even in the masterful hands of Carey and Dan that lens is just not very sharp. Takes me back to the olden days when companies like Spiratone and Kowa sold inexpensive lenses whose mediocre...

“the worm is in the fruit” is a wonderful expression that we don’t really have in American English. Thank you for introducing it to us.
Your English, by the way, is very good.

Dan is a seriously talented photographer. If he says it, it is true so listen and you will learn. Please stop trying to second guess him or argue with his conclusions.

Telephoto is a specific term. It defines a lens in which the physical length of the lens is shorter than the focal length.

You are right about the challenge of aging eyes for still camera makers. I bet the average age of camera buyers and DPR visitors is at least 50 if not higher. Photography is an old man’s hobby.

Based on what we’ve seen from smaller mirrorless formats, what exactly will be the benefit of full frame mirrorless? It won’t be smaller lenses, and they’ll need monster batteries to provide...

In the days of medium and large format, photographers would routinely take black and white Polaroids to judge whether the image had enough contrasting tonal values and a robust composition.
So...

This really is the final nail in the DSLR coffin. There is now nothing a traditional camera can do that these little toys cannot.
