The handheld hi-res sounds cool, as does the built-in vertical grip, but I'd like to see... ...Leatherette that doesn't peel from just sweaty hands ... Integrated stap lugs I can trust ... A ...

Glen, I would say that upgrading to a pro lens is not worth it for most photographers, but you are not most photographers. I've seen your work here for a long time and you are good enough that ...

I liked this bunch, but the prints did not sell. Koi Pond Motion - Live composite Longwood Gardens Gazebo Stable Door  - Heavy HDR to handle the very wide DR Tall Trees

Ab Latchin's posts here taught me a lot about sharpening hi-res files. I generally use Lightroom and have a hi-res preset with sharpening set at 80 and radius at 1.2. It's a good starting place, ...

Yes, get the 60mm macro. Excellent lens for this. I've also had better results with hi-res product photos by shooting RAW and sharpening a lot in post. The 80mp files are very flexible and respond ...

The Sunny 16 rule (1/ISO) gives me 1/800 at f/8 and ISO 200 in full sun. Seems that would need a strong ND filter to get to 1/60.

Neat. A nice thing about the first is that you can show it in any orientation. That's balance!

It just occurred to me (I'm a little slow) that 1/60 will require an ND filter in bright light. The current aperture limit is f/8 and you really don't want to be stopped down that much because of ...

I shot in a cemetery last week, but nothing in mine was so alive. Great captures.

I liked the series, but I thank you for reminding me of the wonderful movie, "Cinema Paradiso," which takes place in an Italian cinema much like the one you captured.

Due to increasing mobility problems, I haven't shot much landscape this year, but I couldn't resist participating in the Plein Air Brandywine Valley competition. I didn't win anything this time, ...

Lucy pulled the ball away too many times on this hand-held hi-res stuff. I'm not going to believe it until someone gets to actually kick that ball.

Not only that, some of us still sell prints.

Conceptual art seems to include some truly stupid concepts.

Well, I never thought of myself as racist, having campaigned for civil rights since the 60s. I'll admit, I jumped the gun in thinking Zhongxuan Zhang sounded Chinese.

A Chinese company suing an American company for intellectual property theft. Man bites dog.

I use all of the features at various times -- hi-res, focus bracketing (it does not have in-camera stacking), etc.- and find them useful. However the main reasons for using the Pen F are the very ...

This camera is going to be a test of Canon's market dominance. It offers almost no reason for anyone to switch from another brand, so the entire market for it is current Canon users. And, what's in...

It's an issue. Others have lasted 20 years when regularly treated with wood finish, as this one is. The same wood carver has an oak stump sculpture he created in 1995 which is still in excellent ...

For the last month, I've been taking photos almost every day of a red oak tree sculpture taking shape in my neighborhood park. The carver is Marty Long and he calls his finished piece, "Friends." ...
