"Motion Blur at the focussing point" Actually, looking at EXIF, and more carefully at the pictures, there is no motion blur in the image. There are some sort of weird reflections. Were you shooting ...

Note that the focusing point indicated is the one that was used when focus was achieved. If the subject moved after the focus was achieved, you may be mislead by looking at the overlay on the ...

I did such a test with a 100-400 II with and without teleconverters. My camera is a 5DS. I ran into similar issues you describe, so I now use only center point with that lens. I've not done a ...

No, it is not. It is 6.25%. If you buy locally, there could be local tax as well, like here in Austin, which has the highest rate allowed. The combined rate in Austin is 8.25%.

What do you mean by standard focals? Do you mean standard focal lengths? I used that as an example, just to run some numbers. My own go-to lens for subject isolation and creamy bokeh on 35mm is a ...

"B&H is pleased that an overwhelming portion of the settlement payout will end up with our current and former employees. " I'm guessing that if the lawsuit had run full course and the court found ...

I'm a part-time professional. Note also, the ad blocker I use is designed to suppress the annoying ads and lets the reasonable ones through. Ads should not disrupt the experience of using the ...

Except that medium format lenses frequently don't have such wide maximum apertures. Going for shallow DOF, one would choose, say, a 50mm f/1.2 or 85mm f/1.2 lens, which have apertures of 42mm and ...

Underexposure does not increase grain. Speaking of silver chemistry, what goes on is that the emulsion layer is a matrix of gelatin and silver halide crystals. When a crystal absorbs a photon, a ...

Grain is unnatural as well, depending on things like developer formulation, temperature, development time, and pH. I'm not sure what you mean by grain not changing within shots (while digital ...

I think sometimes vignetting actually gives the image that je ne sais quoi quality people notice about larger format cameras. Vignetting is sometimes good.

Not so much for me. Because I use an ad blocker, and sites are getting savvy to this and are implementing ad blocker detection. Those sites don't get my business. I'd rather go elsewhere than to ...

The local paper (a weekly) is free, distributed around the city every Thursday. I pick one up every week.

Without the lens cap on, dust accumulates on the front element, with or without a hood installed.

That's a real trick. Does having the window down implement some sort of mind control device? ;)

I have a very old 18.4 inch VAIO laptop that had a feature where you could toggle calibration settings. One of the settings you could toggle was designed for video viewing. I never bothered to ...

What kind of camera are you using? Have you used CamRanger? It can be pretty slow for full resolution images from some cameras. That may or may not be an issue.

It seems to me the most relevant additional right would be the right to fight copyright violators.

Have you consulted with an attorney yourself? Do you have membership with an organization that provides such consultation or representation services?

If I'm following, I think there are two things that need to or will likely happen: * You assign rights to work already done, with or without additional compensation. * Any future work you do for ...
