Depending on the time of day, an hour or two away. Even though it lingers in the distance, the summertime fog plays a big role in keeping our evenings pleasantly cool. Due west and where our ...

Thanks. Pulling back the curtain: I forgot about the color version, which does have its own charm. I certainly don't want to be that "guy" that bores people with photos of their vacation. I think ...

I like your gallery -- thanks for sharing.

I know the photos aren't going to appeal to everyone. What's important to me is that they appeal to me. I'm gratified that they appeal to others too, and the reason I posted them here is that ...

More dismissiveness. You're equating adults who may have uninformed opinions about the show with kindergarteners who are dazzled by the spectacle. Case in point for me, my girlfriend doesn't spend ...

I'm not so dismissive of how others respond to photographs, or food, or music, or whatever. I do not see any good rationale for the varying responses to photographs here. Technically good shots ...

Why? Do you think every time someone gets a load of thumb's up that means they are right while the person that doesn't get any must be wrong? Not that there is a right or wrong when it comes to ...

Actually, you didn't answer your own question. You answered a different question -- that being where have you moved to? Anyway, good luck and enjoy.

+1 Sweet.

Not really. Otherwise it would be static, but it often changes over time. For example, slavery used to be the norm. I do pay attention, and I strive to improve based both on what others have to ...

Glad to hear it. I strive for a bit more than a polite "that's nice," and the most effusive responses come from those I know least. My son and girlfriend are actually tougher critics and I didn't ...

Yours is a typical DPR comment which doesn't surprise me. It wasn't my intention to wow you, and I chose those photos because most people respond very positively to them. My point is that I get an ...

That's not my experience. Often though it helps to contextualize the photograph: Agility. Cabo San Lucas. My girlfriend. People love her smile, and so do I. Yosemite Falls. At the end of the Road ...

No. Here's a deep dive into the subject: https://www.rawdigger.com/howtouse/color-is-a-slippery-trickster I need to read this again when I have some time.

Sure, and Picture Controls are the primary issue: Same shot converted three different ways and the bottom with a 10 second post process adjustment. That's why I prefer to use NX-D and simply apply ...

You can get a used copy of one of the older versions for a reasonable price. I don't have experience with the Tamron or Sigma versions, but the Tamron seems to have good image quality from what ...

Glad we got that cleared up.

That's not actually something new. We have a couple of people at DPR who cite that as a "feature" of the D200 and earlier Nikon cameras. That's an exposure issue. The D300 goes down to ISO 140. My ...

Right, for some reason that you cannot explain you prefer one "sensor's DR" over the other. You also attribute another quality to the camera's sensors below. It's not the sensor, that's what I'm ...

The role of the sensor in producing particular colors has been argued here for years. All the credible experts side with the issue being with color profiles and not with the sensor technology.
