Sorry, I've lost the thread. Why is what so important?

The world is suddenly full of really excellent $700-$900 prime lenses and fantastic 24mp cameras; I predict a renaissance in photography with people producing mind-blowing photos because they'll be...

It's usually called wishful thinking…but if you live in certain neighborhoods of Los Angeles, New York, and (possibly) London, it's called The Law of Attraction and there are books, seminars, and...

Highly probable. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the reference. Be that as it may, continuous-spectrum sources like tungsten filaments, carbon arc light, and the sun remain the gold ...

Until last week I had a 2012 MacBook Pro that ran CS6 but after nine years of being dragged all over the world it finally gave up the fight and can't be revived, sadly. But my son has one of the ...

You are correct sir. The fate of the photographic universe will be decided in this final clash of the titans. We can only pray that their battle will not result in too many destroyed cities or dead...

Soccer is too slow, the company must fly you to the ultimate autofocus proving ground, the Mach Loop.

This is great info. Thanks.

I would love to but it does not seem to work with my version of Photoshop 2021, do you know a way around that issue? And sadly, my copy of Photoshop CS6 won't run on Apple's Catalina 10.15.7 so I'm ...

Many people can tell you the "rules" of composition, but few can tell you when and why to use them and when to break them. Have a look. Fast forward to 1:10 for the meat.

Excellent points.

Tungsten bulbs and daylight both have well-understood outputs that engineers have been studying for more than 100 years and have excellent ways to get beautiful files. Older generation fluorescents ...

No, I mean what did you want the finished photo to look like? What did you previsualize before you pushed the shutter?

A pound less than its DSLR brother? Sold!

What is your goal? To me all of the variations you've provided are quite stunning and IR and UV photography can take you in so many directions; it seems like it's more about showing an example of ...

Ha! Can't fool us. You are a time traveler who zoomed back 100 years to take that picture with a glass plate camera and are now having a little joke.... But in case  you're not, would you mind ...

As a part time journalist, I agree. But as someone who has also worked in the graphic arts and print production I know that when you set your camera color controls on Neutral you’re letting the ...

B&W photos from the 1940s and 1950s often have an enchanted look that is equal parts hyperrealistic and sharp yet very otherworldly. Is there a way to get close to this look using Photoshop and a ...

Don’t poke the bear, I’m between assignments and I have spare time…
