Say you have your camera on a boom shooting straight down at a client's bare back.  You're trying to get a shot of a lithe well-sculpted back totally devoid of tattoos and such.  The problem is ...

Correct. Community standard(s) which play a large role in marketing and business in general. Walgreens in FL and LA use to print full frontal nudity (adults only), in the 90's and early aughts, but ...

I prefer a bit less warmth in many prints but it's definitely one of the papers that I reach for most. Such a wonderful paper in my opinion. HAHNEMUHLE MATT FINE ART - SMOOTH 310 gsm & RED RIVER ...

.. and that about wraps that part up perfectly. Correct. Depends on location / demographics - Beachside, where I've probably done most of my shooting in Florida, people usually try to bronze or ...

The amount of blur is a given for most premium fast lenses at various apertures and distance to the subject. One can shoot a 200mm lens at f/10 and get the same kind of "blur" as someone shooting...

@ Ben13240 .... and neither is the bokeh "blur" between a noct and 70-200 f2.8 lens when close to the subject or when using a fast 300, 400, 500 or 600mm lens or... you get the point. I think...

@GeorgiJuraj - Complaining about something unreasonable is complaining. Phase One isn't being unreasonable. So to put your complaint in proper context; you're whining. I only expect you to...

Which modifier was "best" wasn't what Ellis was referring to... rather that it would be neat if you -- illustrated the points that you mentioned -- in your post.

I'd approach this from a different angle, though I respect those that are more inclined to tear into their flash and figure it all out. My first course of action would be to get an estimate from an ...

Very often the case when shooting during the most inhospitable times of the day as far as soft natural light is concerned. I wouldn't go so far as to say never, as midday sun isn't always ...

(chuckle) Reminded of what? Businesses pass costs to their customers? Reaping profits while dodging being nickle/dimed to death is just business. Of course multiple expenditures (rents, fees,...

Canon's design of the side skids on the large format printers is horrible as they should easily allow for countertop operation.  However if you look at the skids (the part where you hold the ...

What I've noted: The older stuff - fluctuation comes with the territory (for me it's hardly worth worrying about if it doesn't affect your work or post processing, especially if it's not ...

I have that flash.  Metz was awful / incompetent to deal with in my experience (circa 2011) when I called them with some questions.  However since you're mentioning it, I should check to see how ...

It was just an example ((sigh)), but to answer your question - historically people prefer the taste and texture of tender back muscle Psoas Major and even the longissimus dorsi (becomes ...

C1 didn't scrw anyone out of perpetual license - they changed how they conduct *their* business, giving ample notification - in addition to the user agreement.

What C1 has going for it is that...

I don't most reasonably intelligent individuals with a viable college education and experience running a business whether they agree with me or not, find my post "funny" or "silly". I accurately...

You are correct, there's often more way to solve a problem. I'm saying this just because many people get the wrong idea about 'averaging' ... keep in mind that frame averaging isn't just combining ...

It didn't / doesn't require thought - just requires one having their eyes open to the reality that's been staring everyone in the face for decades. Obviously... and why I specifically made ...

Yes, it makes a big difference in the context of complaints if C1 is tailoring the software to a particular demographic, or sect of that demographic that can use the little changes that have been...
