Here is one thing that distinguishes a halfway reputable news source and a non-news source. Given the pressures on reporting, they all sometimes print stories that are wrong. The reputable ones, ...

Another way of looking at it is if the DR of the scene exceeds the DR of the camera, the photographer needs to apply some intelligence with respect to what is the photographic intention, rather ...

If sensor designers arrived at different sized pixels simply by uniformly scaling (in 2D) the same pixel design, all sensors of the same pixel count would have the same DR at equivalent settings ...

'Proper' seems to be a strange adjective for that usage. It's best to have as large and exposure as possible. There are a number of things that prevent one having an arbitrarily large exposure, ...

The sensor will have some saturation exposure at each ISO setting, and the ISO control tends to affect the amount of electronic noise added. Very few cameras are truly ISOless, though some so ...

and then... What a waist of space.

Strictly, exposure is luminous energy density. Unpacking that: Luminous - energy you can see, as opposed to total (heat) energy. Energy - power integrated over time, which is why both aperture and ...

I think that you meant that you try to nail the output image brightness. Quite a different thing from 'exposure'.

Please do explain what 'proper exposure' means. I have a sneaking regard for improper exposures. Is that the case? That largely depends on the specific camera, plus, of course, how you set up your ...

If that was directed at Finger Painter then it is unfair and insulting. He was simply trying to impart correct information, not 'simply display how clever he is'.

Yes it was false, and your statement that 'the net effect is indeed virtually the same' was also false. I'm not sure that 'gain' is a very good word to be using with beginners, unless you can ...

Millions more people voted 'left' than with you.

This is possibly true (I don't know the facts and would be disinclined to take your word for It). If true, it would seem the US police training needs to be updated to put it in line with ...

Latest projection for the final form of Wrexit: 1. The U.K. Positively definitely leaves the EU. 2. As a result of leaving the EU the UK ceases to have any involvement in EU policy formation or ...

Maybe Brian's telling us something about his testicles.

A whole load of issues there. 1. Assuming that you are correct that this is how the police are trained, is it the correct way for them to be trained? In most non-authoritarian countries the police ...

what you can 'prove' in court depends on the predisposition of the judge and jury.

What is the connection between skin colour and 'race', and have you ever seen a 'yellow' person except on the Simpsons (or for that matter a white or black person)?

I'm on a long haul flight at the moment. Starts off chatting with the chauffeur - he had the talk radio on, and it was discussing wrexit. He was obviously getting angrier and angrier at a fellow ...
