Pixel Pooper

No, I mean select the shutter speed directly. There is a knob for that, just move it from A to M.

Or you could just adjust your shutter speed...

True, it's the beginning of a long journey that some people never take. Artistry doesn't mean you have to be an artist, or produce art. There can be artistry in making a table, baking a cake, or ...

Good job, you couldn't even finish a sentence about how you are "geared out" without talking about your future FX upgrade. The GAS is strong in you. ;-)

Sure, but the tone of this first instalment gives you a pretty good idea of the direction. The opening paragraphs sure make it sound like he learned more about buying gear than photography.

In space there is no up or down.

All of your lessons are about gear, nothing about photography. The most important lesson is that gear is useless without artistry.

Australia is just like anywhere else. We have big things and small things, close things and far things.  Just take the lenses you normally use and you'll be fine.

The 35mm is my most used lens by far, but if you are keeping the 50mm I would go for the 24 or 28 instead because 35 and 50 are a bit too close in focal length. I sold my 50 and kept the 35 ...

I'm not seeing much difference. Here is a 300% crop of your ISO 1600 image on the left compared to an ISO 3200 image from the A6000 on the right.

A lot of people have moved on to the newer models, but I still love my A6000. It is still the bang for buck champ and is a huge upgrade over the NEX-6. The A6000 and SEL35 is my most used combo ...

What type of macro photography are you doing that needs this type of lighting? Most people prefer using flash for macro.

The circle of confusion is not affected by pixel density because the COC is bigger than the pixel size.

The DOF calculators are correct. Using the same focal length, aperture, and subject distance on APS-C is the same as cropping an FF image, and when you crop an image and then display it at the ...

Sony has not made the E mount specs open. They are available to approved manufacturers who pay a fee only. Metabones has not been approved and neither has any other adapter manufacturer as far as ...

They were both saying the same thing, your expert just didn't say it as clearly. Here is Wikipedia's definition: " Depth of focus is a lens optics concept that measures the tolerance of placement ...

We weren't, we were both talking about depth of field. Maybe you should have just stayed out of it if you didn't have anything relevant to add.

Nobody was talking about depth of focus, we were talking about depth of field. Depth of focus is not depth of field on the sensor, it is (from your link): "The range through which the image plane ...

They could do it if they wanted to. They don't.

DOF is a perceptual phenomenon that depends on viewing conditions including display size, so there is no DOF until the image is viewed. The only way that DOF exists on the sensor is if you view a ...
