Focus Shift Shooting

The needs are almost always limited. Are you printing ALL your photos? That's perhaps the ONLY time you'll notice anything, even then don't print on canvas or your image quality disappears in a...

At some point, you have to ask yourself am I making pictures for people or photographers. Answer that and JPEG fails to matter anymore.

Now, understand, I'm not anti-raw and I don't always use...

JPEG is just fine for almost all applications. It's just that photographers are tied to a chair, beaten with mob mentality that they must accept that RAW > JPEG period, end of story, now shut up...

And yet, they all act like it. And so I suggested, if you're so intelligent then you should make some money from it. Otherwise you're just beating your chest like apes. I WON THE ARGUMENT!!! I'M ...

You're right, I was exaggerating to get my point across. Listen. You guys are probably like everybody. You like feeling like you know what you're talking about. So really, who else is better suited ...

It's important to explain that the way it is, isn't the way it has to be. If someone with any kind of ability to communicate this to the outside world better than I, then maybe you can get this off ...

Who says so? Imagine if someone were designing the ISO gain in a digital camera and had that mindset. The camera HAS no other method to interpret light except from the photons that collide with the ...

I have reported you.

You seem incapable of disagreeing with someone without personally insulting them because of your inability to communicate well when someone is in disagreement.

You...

Well, I can explain one thing that's very informative. I have been stating that the graph and the study are terrible and a waste. Those who disagree with me have been using a lot of personal...

The Nikon D700 is probably one of the best cameras ever made.

Unfortunately, sensors are different from camera to camera. I'm not even sure Nikon could make another D700 if they wanted to. They...

That dude said that I missed the point, as did others, and that the variables were actual and perceived experience. Actual Expertise is not gained in a linear fashion.

This "study" does not reveal...

Actual Expertise is not gained in a linear fashion.

No one learns in a linear fashion. So that graph is TERRIBLE!

And no one needs a study to realize that people feel good about learning something new, but that it takes much longer to actually...

Then it is not their competence that is being measured, rather simply time itself.

I don't give a rat's $*@ about their credentials. They are showing that people perceive that they are really great when they start out, learn they aren't, and become better later. That's all fine....

I appreciate all that your saying. And I understand it and I've been calibrating my monitors for over a decade. But not recently, because I've always hated how incredibly clumsy the entire process ...

My ISO example seems to fit very good here. You might say, I'm not sure how people think they can set up a camera for a shutter speed of 1/320th and ever hope to have a photo that isn't like a ...

No, I'm up in arms about this because it does not make sense that in the year 2018, after having printers and monitors for decades, that we can't make this simple. Monitor calibration is like ...

So photographers think they are amazing, learn they aren't, then feel more amazing again later?

Meanwhile, they are always becoming better at a constant rate regardless of their feelings?

I hope...

NO!! I'm using a Dell UP3216Q that came pre-calibrated with a beautiful default output right out of the box that every reviewer commented on for being excellent. I'm not ever going to put some ...
