Earlier in the week, I was rambling about HDR image processing. Today, I located this article at the Cambridge in Color site. If you’re photographer, and you’ve not visited Sean’s site, you really owe it to yourself and your photography to do so. The site is a treasure trove of information on all aspects of [...]
As it turns out, yesterday, June 29, was National Camera Day. It seems rather apropos that I bought a new lens yesterday.
Well, now I’m told that July 17 is No Camera Day. Apparantly, this idea is being promoted by … a professional photographer. The point, it seems, is that photographers may miss out on life’s [...]
After a great deal of thought over the course of the day, and a little bit of “hands-on” at Penn Camera this evening, I came to a conclusion regarding the choice between the RB67 w/50mm lens, and the superwide zoom lens for the Nikon.
The logical choice was the Tokina 12-24mm F4 zoom to put on [...]
As you can see, I’ve been doing a little tweaking of the site. Nothing major — putting variants of a few “lost” items back, and a little CSS modification. There will be more, as I get or make time.

I’m torn. I’ve been pretty hyped up about buying a Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera, and a 50mm lens for it (about the widest they made, equivalent to about a 24mm lens for a 35mm camera). That 6×7cm image would yield, with my current scanner, about a 36megapixel image to play with. I can [...]
I usually don’t comment much here about the CMPG meetings. Last night was a critique night, and we had a great turnout and a large number of prints to review. I must say that there was some truly excellent photography displayed last night.
The “assignment” theme was pretty open-ended — Outdoor/Action — on purpose. Part of [...]
Regular CMPG meeting. See http://www.cmpg.org for details.

HDR, or High Dynamic Range Image Processing is an interesting technique for reproducing images that would otherwise be impossible, specifically those that can’t be captured normally because the dynamic range is too wide for the recording media — be it film or digital capture.
— from cblee - (?)
The basic idea of the technique is [...]
There’s an inherant problem with inkjet printers, aside from all those discussions of permanence and reduced gamut a pigments v. dyes and what not. It’s a simple problem. If you don’t print with them a lot (meaning several prints a day), you run the risk of ink drying in the printhead and clogging the thing [...]
In the D70 users’ forum on flickr, the question of shooting RAW v. JPEG came up — again. This was my response:
What a debate this is, and it occurs over and over and over again — and not just for Nikon shooters. While it is true that RAW may offer better color depth at capture, [...]
