I found this 11 years old post: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/21319287 Best Shot Selector was offered by my old Nikon Coolpix 995 and worked fine (with the help of a bit of luck!). ...

Been there, a few years ago. One important thing is that weather in Tierra del Fuego is continuously changing.. but it is cold and wet and windy all year around. You may have more than two violent ...

Very well explained, Tom. Just adding a few more examples to show the OP the effect of different projections available in most panorama stitchers. These were obtained from exactly the same set of ...

Three more *** HONORABLE MENTIONS *** (is there any rule forbidding to choose these among the ENTRIES?) By Ed Form About this one, I already said "A very good image, technically and emotionally ". ...

Just for reminding: Theme was: *** Composition: Vanishing Point *** In graphical perspective, a vanishing point is an abstract point on the image plane where 2D projections of a set of parallel ...

Thanks to all the challengers! So many beautiful images. It will be a hard work to select the winner! So I I am kindly asking you all to wait...

Please be reassured, Al. I didn't overlook your pics. And they are very nice, and perfectly in line with the challenge theme. Simply, an overwhelming number of very good images is being posted ...

So awfully sorry I didn't pay attention to the location name written above the image. And how much inadequate now I feel the comment I wrote. The vanishing point... this is a place (unfortunately ...

Sorry for my ignorance! Now I see it is a famous monument. By Vera Mukhina, who won the Stalin Prize for it. And a huge one! 24.5 m tall on a 40 m high pedestal. Socialist realism. The drone was ...

WOW! Soviet Heroes. Still there? In Samara? Hopefully they won't remove it. You could clone out the drone, and the street light on the right, too.

It is nice to have a high quality camera that fits into your jacket pocket. But sure you had a project in your mind about photography, when you bought a high end rangefinder-like camera and a fine ...

Not sure whether a 24-70 f/2.8 would have saved, but sure the 10-30 (27-81) f/3.5-5.6 kit lens killed. For equivalence, you would need f/1.0.

RX10 M3 @ 200mm eq. is f/4.0 (from there up to 600mm) RX10 M1/M2 @200mm eq. is f/2.8 (constant aperture - better - but 200mm is its max. focal length) Note: 200mm focal length using A6300 are ...

Simple: it is above the small round table below the staircase. A virtual point is not necessarily visible... Thanks for posting. Where is it, exactly?

You can find graphs of equivalent aperture vs focal length in DPR Camera reviews, here: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-cybershot-dsc-rx100-m3 for RX100 III (compared to RX100 I-II and other ...

Then you can try this: train your eyes to instantly evaluate exposure from the image you view in the screen or EVF, using histogram / zebras as a help in non time-critical situations. then you can ...

More latitude for correction, yes. But not soooo much! Glad we agree, Tom. Hope the OP doubts are resolved, now.

Same story here. Now COP (or C1 10) is the tool for editing all my .arw files.

Vanishing in the dust... That's a good entry. Thanks.

Nothing strange, here. The good reason for this  is that out of focus is actually the cause of what you named "ghosting" . Any object not lying on the focus plane tends to get blurred, but, ...
