Yes, I have Elliot Porter's book "In the Realm of Nature." He did pretty pictures but also intimately depicted nature as wild, uncontrolled, and formidable. Great stuff.

Nature is a place where chaos rules. It is dangerous, rough, and is filled with death. Yes, there is also beauty but not like these candy coated fantasies.

These images remind me of a phrase used...

@ Ramon767: Hand wringing? Well, I've been robbed at gun point, and separately had all my gear taken in a burglary.

Unfortunately, perhaps the only way to understand violence is to experience it...

Perhaps we should add a bodyguard as a necessary 'accessory' for doing photography.

The usual fatuous animosity towards Leica here while ignoring that people were threatened with a gun. Camera equipment has become a favored item of theft meaning ALL photographers are in danger of...

Good news.

Having been pessimistic about Nikon, I'm glad to be proven wrong.

I'm aware that Sony had bought Minolta, but that was a DSLR era.

Yes, it would probably be the end Nikon if Sony acquired it, but while the Z9 may be the best pro camera how many iterations of...

Sony should buy Nikon. I mean, not only does Nikon have a legacy of having made some of the most beautiful cameras in the history of photography, it understands photography and the needs of...

Nice.

Thank you.

Yes, I was using an adapter to connect the Leica cable to a C connection which will not work, or least not with the adapter I have. Anyway, a direct camera to computer cable connection will work. T ...

Have you tried the 'Image Capture' application that is included with the Mac OS? There are cameras that will not show in a finder window but will show in the Image Capture application. The camera ...

It's all cool, Steve.

It isn't any of that and you have ignored my suggestion of a surveillance drone. It's the lack of context. The image says nothing beyond "a lone black man in a park in the middle of a rain storm" I ...

Steve, to be blunt, this image feels as though a surveillance drone is monitoring this lone black man.

At ISO 100 the difference is .66, slightly more than a half stop, and yeah I can see it. When I noticed the difference (a6600 vs a6500) I checked with P2P and to my surprise it confirmed what I...

"Measuring error?"
And DXOMARK doesn't have variability?

"We know...?" How? Is firmware analyzed for changes?

Has Sony revealed its image quality methods? DPReveiw has very smart and...

I use the a6600 and am happy with it as a STILLS camera. Many Sony APS-C users bemoaned the use of the "same" 24mpg sensor in the a6600, but if that's true why then is there a marked difference in...
