Nice capture. Congratulations, you deserved to win.

Very nice image, and a nice plane. Never seen one for real, but I guess it is a fire fighter. It would be nice to see one landing and taking off from water, as well as filling the water tanks skimming the water surface, assuming that is the way it does it.

Very nice capture! Congratulations.

You should have waited until the guy stops picking his nose and that the woman would have taken her picture and would have gone away, out of yours. He was not going to run away and the picture would have been MUCH better that way.

Excellent image, nice capture.

I have never stayed in that hotel yet, but maybe next time... just for the view. Did you know that once a year they close the bridge for all traffic and then people walk up on the metal plates and sit there, drinking and eating... and risking their lives...

That's just exactly my point. None of that holds unless you compare apples and oranges.

Very nice. Also very difficult to capture that image on that spot without any traffic. It's always busy there. I know this was early in the morning but still...

As usual when Oly users compare Oly with FF, it's apples and oranges. You take Oly f2.8 lenses and compare them with FF f2.8 lenses. That's nonsense. You can't just take the beneficial part of equivalence and leave the negative part out. You have to compare your f2.8 lenses with FF f5.6 lenses and those are considerably cheaper and lighter.

It is huge and heavy. I am sure it takes nice images, but... At this size, weight and price... why would anyone else than a real Oly fan buy this camera?

You are not a f-a-n-b-o-y just because you use one brand. That's a far too simple conclusion. There can be many reasons for that.

Of course a second slot would make it larger. How else would they fit in otherwise?

The Z7 is the best travel camera I ever had. Small yet not too small, light but still not too light so it can be held firmly stable, takes excellent low light images, very well made is quiet, easy to use anywhere and is not grabbing the attention of the people who are around you. The discrete size makes it easy to transport in any small bag. Nice to use. Perfect until Nikon makes an even better one...

What's the point other than the "cool factor"? When I shot film I always knew what sort of film I had in my camera. Also, there are different type of films, so knowing 100ASA is not enough.

Hi,

Nice planes... I have been flying the GRAF and the BUDQ between 1998 and 2001. Never thought I'd see it in a DPR challenge, but it's good to see that it is still around. Never flew the BVID though...

Good luck.

Totally pointless.

Excellent! Congratulations.

Nothing new. It's been possible to use any camera to copy slides and negatives but you had to flip the colour of the negatives (very simple thing) and clean the images from scratches and this is the biggest problem. This is why a film scanner is much better. Also for colour corrections. So I will continue using my scanners even in the future, even though I have the recommended Nikon 60mm macro lens and a D800, which is good enough also.

There are many insects which are larger than 3.3mm but the biggest problem with focus stacking is tha image size change as you change focus if you are using the focus ring. A macro slider works best but that is only usable on dead insects. But with so many megapixeles you can just take an image with a magnification ratio which brings the whole insect in focus and crop the insect to the size you want. No big deal, one single shot and you still have plenty pixels so you can print it very large.
