Optics and Light

Surprised no one posted skip straight to 4x5 or 8x10 view cameras. I agree though. Though I do like 35mm film it does not has as much of an advantage over digital these days (they both have their...

Insert saying on how when you buy cheap you spend more. Every time I see a post on best sub $100 film cameras I just think do yourself a favor and save up for a nicer setup, eventually you will...

Taking photos vs making photos. If you take photos your smart phone is great but if you make photos film is a great tool.

DxO makes some nice tools. Out of the box PL has the closest profile matching that I seen compared to Capture NX-D. I was considering it at one point but it does not support Fujifilm files....

As far as I can tell there is no partnership with Nikon where Nikon is providing their camera profiles or demosaicing algorithm to use with Capture One. Capture NX-D. I believe the Sony and...

Understanding the Zone system also helps you understand your light meter and how to better light. I went years without really paying much attention to it and when I finally took time to understand...

I disagree though I'm not sure if you are being serious. The fast feedback loop of digital makes it much easier to learn. There are considerations to make when going to film though.

ON1 has already gained a reputation of releasing half baked software (at least my experience).

S_Connor printing is fun. People should only buy a photo printer if they are making money off their prints or they can afford the hobby.

Love this on the Canon printers.

Was thinking what a perfect time to release new printers. Not their fault but now more than ever can I not afford to buy things just because I want.

I was excited about these new printers until you pointed this out.

I think the longer you been shooting the more you see this (and there are a lot). I also find most post these days to be a advertisement disguised as an article.

Many apps will allow you to customize elements of the interface. For Photography apps if possible I like to set a 18% grey background. The reason for this is that it will allow you to better judge...

I tried ON1 a few years back (mainly as a DAM) and initially I loved it. But then I caught on to their business practices. There are many bugs in the software. They eventually fix their bugs but it...

I been saying digital cameras made in the last 10-15 years are more than good enough for most work. In fact if you process your old RAW files with new RAW processing software you can give mew life...

Saw a D6 in use this weekend as I was watching the UFC PPV.

GFX sensor size is sightly larger. I wish there was a camera with a sensor close to at least 645 medium format that does not cost as much as a Phase One.

For anyone interested Vincent Versace has a good tutorial on YouTube.

I would make the argument that digital is the best way to learn. It allows you to fail fast and setup a quick feedback loop. I learned on digital then added film. There are differences in how you...
