It is interesting to see dpreview go. I posted on there quite a bit several years ago, but haven't used it in a long time.

This is probably a good niche market for Leica, I don't think it'd be high volume, but enough to be worth their while.

My pick is August Lights. This is an amazing scene. Would it be even better with the leaves cropped?

My pick is Spring Sky.

I thought the photos were very good this week. It is hard to compete with "Catch of the Day" though, I think this one is truly spectacular and is my pick.

If I recall a guy in the camera club I was in pre-covid times shot large format. I didn't talk to him too much about the camera setup, but it was huge. He exclusively worked in B&W and developed...
I am sitting in my home office right now as I type this message. This room is where I keep most of my framed images. I have 8 of my favorite images framed in this room, all are 14" x 11" and I can...
Happy Thanksgiving! That does look like a good dinner.

Competition is good. Canon, Nikon, and Sony all push each other and the consumers benefits. The spec sheet of the Z9 will push Canon.

My pick this week is "Channels".

I've never printed from home either. I think almost all of my prints were ordered from Nation's Photo Lab. If you order when they have a promotion going you can do quite well.
I need to research...
1. How often do you print your images?
2. What size do you typically print?
3. Do you stick to the 300 DPI guide line or do you have a different approach?
4. If so, do you interpolate the...
There's definitely a factor of perspective in all of this. You occasionally see people at the locks & dams or surrounding areas with a pro grade camera and big white, but it may be less common than...
It's amazing how much progress has been made recently in the world of photography.
I wonder if at a point in the future if features like Eye AF might make bird photography so much easier if it'd...
There's the old saying that there is no free lunch. 100-400 image quality does not appear will be competitive with similar L lenses and is a stop slow, but it is $649. 400mm at a useable f-stop in...
Congrats Zach! I really like film noir movies.

Thanks for viewing.

My pick is "Crayfish Lunch". The subject and pose are both very good and this is also a technically challenging scene with a black/white bird and a bright background. Nicely done!
I appreciate...
My pick is Key Largo Sunset. I was deciding between Key Largo Sunset and Fel Saana.
Key Largo: I thought all 3 portions of the image come through strongly. The setting sun just behind the trees...
Lots of ice this week! Looks good. We're finally getting above 0 consistently :)

My pick is "Ferryland Lighthouse" by NFLD Stephen, it is a beautiful lighthouse and I like the cloud trails. I really like the photo, but in my opinion it does not need as much rock as is shown in...
Happy belated Thanksgiving!
I think it is hard to make reasonable used lens market evaluation during the covid area. Given how well the EF lenses work on the new cameras I would predict lens value will surely fall versus 2-3...
It is nice to see people are enjoying the new cameras. I wonder what the DSLR phase out period will be and when many people have changed to mirrorless? When will the new RF mount lenses become the...
My pick is "Moulton Barn at Sunrise". I like the barn a lot and the time chosen to photograph is excellent. My only critique is I would have liken to see the foreground a little bit brighter.
