If someone paid me $200K to do a staircase, I'd learn how to do a staircase! LOL. :) Take care & Happy Shooting! :)

+1 I guess, once it's been done for a first time, it can't be done for a first time again. To be original, you can't simply copy. Which, isn't that different than the old days when artists had ...

+1 I kinda take it as a variation of Marcel Duchamp's readymades. Just some "almost" random object. Although there is criteria applied to picking a good readymade, I guess. So the art is not about ...

+1 Thanks for the post. I haven't been to the downtown Henry's store in about a year and a half. Not easy to get to if you have to find parking. I've been having rentals delivered to the ...

How about Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans? Is that art? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell%27s_Soup_Cans Take care & Happy Shooting! :)

+1 The Pentax K100d was my first dSLR camera, but not my first Pentax. I never made money with my Pentax, but I learned a heck of a lot with it. :) Darn. :( LOL. +1 But have to give the credit to ...

How does the .heif format work into things? Is this something for sure? Apple is implementing it in their phones. http://blog.jpegmini.com/move-over-jpeg-here-comes-heif/ Is that a way to add tags ...

+1 I agree. I just toss that out there to have some fun. I guess, like Apple. Are they are computer company that became an MP3 player company? Or are they a digital music distributor? Or Nintendo? ...

+1 I love it! How do you integrate (or simplify) the camera into the bigger process of workflow. When you take a picture of an X-rite Color Checker Passport, is there a way to associate that ...

+1 Isn't that a Pentax thing? They have the water-resistant kit lenses and I think some of their primes are water-resistant as well? But, yes. Make the stuff more durable and usable in a wider ...

+1 Although, I get the feeling that we've come full circle now. I just think about my sister's Pentax K1000. When she got that camera, I kinda thought . . . ok, that's it. She's got a camera. ...

+1 Yes. Since we are getting away from non-chargeable batteries to rechargeable batteries, manufacturers are not locked into designing around a standard battery size / shape. I guess in the old ...

If the Nikon flash has an auto-thyristor mode you can use it, and still have a sort of auto mode. That is the auto mode that existed before TTL auto flash mode. I don't think my Nikon SB-600 has ...

I was shooting with a point and shoot camera at one of my daughter's gymnastics lessons. I was taking my time and framing the picture. And one of the other parents walks over to me and asks me why ...

+1 I still like this idea! My sister's friend is a Professional Photographer and shot my wedding with his Bronica SQ. Knowing that I was into photography, he let my wife and I crop the shots from ...

+1 Great list. But I have a short time to type, so I'll only pull out one item right now . . . +1 As for working with Lightroom, I was thinking that cameras could let you tag the images in-camera ...

Now-a-days, yes. But, take my Nikon D70s for instance. It maxed out at ISO1600. When I started chasing my daughter around at gymnastics and wanting SOOC JPGs, ISO1600 was the limiting factor of the ...

I used to get that when I shot my daughters at gymnastics competitions. Being a gearhead, I took that as a compliment. A compliment that I actually picked a good camera for the task! LOL. The thing ...

I guess one thing thing about film cameras is that as new / different film came out, you could switch to it. So if faster film came out, your camera would then have a more sensitive recording ...

+1 I agree that it depends on the job. If you are shooting sports indoors, low light, flash not allowed, you are going to get better quality shots with f/2.8 zooms than a kit lens. But then, you ...
