Nice shot, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that's completely in focus.

Snow actually looks blue if it's lit only by a blue sky. And it could look gray if the surroundings are more brightly lit. Having said that, this snow probably should look brighter, as you pointed ...

For glasses, liquid dish soap plus a little tap water.  Wash gently with fingers.  Then rinse with lots of water and dab off the remaining water with a clean cloth.  It's very gentle, even for ...

Yes, I want to know where I can get that 15 cent gas. Apparently the cost of living is even lower than I realized in rural Missouri. Nice pictures, by the way. I'll rummage around and see if I can ...

A rather rare sight.  Thank you for posting.  We're looking forward to more.

He asked a question in the Beginner's forum and listened to the answer.

I have a suggestion.  For those who are unwilling to abide by the definition of exposure in Wikipedia, it would be better if you take the disagreement to the Photographic Science and Technology ...

Or you could pay careful attention to a hundred years of hard-won information and start from there.  If you want to master photography in detail, it is indeed important to do your own experiments, ...

Phonzie, I strongly suggest that you ignore everything after bobn's post on the second page.  At that point the question is answered simply, clearly, and correctly.  Bobn is correct that if you ...

Yeah, you're right.  It's late here.  Most image processors have brightness and contrast controls.  Without trying one (I don't usually use them), I guess it is in fact, a brightness control.

I suppose they might, although I would rather call it that than something that's just plain wrong. What would you call it?

Well, because it doesn't -- contrary to a lot of literature you may read. That's the definition, and the definition is as old as photography. You might as well use the correct definition. It's the ...

You can't increase the exposure in post-processing.  Exposure is defined by how much light strikes the detector (per unit area), and is therefore determined by f-stop, exposure time, and scene ...

I think what JACS is referring to is that it would be easier if the black frame defining the image area (i.e., the edge of the SLR viewfinder or filmholder) were semi-transparent instead of black. ...

Yes, indeed. And if you do mount it on the lens and look backwards through a film camera or DSLR, you can also see the image frame. That way you can tell whether it's going to vignette in the ...

I'm sorry my comment wasn't the nicest. But in my defense, she did write that underexposure happens when monitor brightness is set too high, even though exposure is determined by exposure time, ...

Now that's funny.  Many years ago in a very remote region I came across the most fantastic, interesting canyon that I have ever seen.  I had run out of film by the time I got there.

Well, sorry, it was written in a hurry, and it wasn't intended to sound unfriendly or insulting. Nevertheless, image brightness is not the same as exposure. That's a common error that's a pet peeve ...

Not just pretty pictures, but a story I can love, that gives a sense of the adventure of being there. I don't usually like roads or cars in landscape photos, but these are fun. Sabrina is right ...

You've got a winner.  Thanks for posting.
