Re: Any advice for my first camera?
With all due respect Nuno, I'd rather not spend the time dismissing each of your points one by one, so let's take it above the level of science. I enjoy photography, and you enjoy photography. There...

Re: To ronners: Sharpness is a sore point
Hi Dan,
First of all, thanks for taking the critique in the spirit it was intended :)
What I've found over the years is that sharpness is influenced by a number of factors - light conditions,...

Re: olympus 9-18 mm lens
Hi Alan,
Two potential red flags here -
1. 9mm widest angle? What camera is this suitable for? You'll be in a whole world of distortion here, compounded by the fact it's a zoom - which will...

Re: Any advice for my first camera?
Naturally it's no surprise that everyone advises that you follow the digital route. However, I'd like to give you a different option that's still in your price range. Your results will ultimately be...

Re: Film and Airport X-ray Machines
I recently traveled with a bunch of TMax and in San Francisco and Maui they were happy to hand screen it - you will need to allow a few more minutes to get through security though. Another idea I've...

To momolumix: Thanks
I'm using a Mamiya 645 Pro-TL and Kodak TMAX100 black and white film. The final images is much better than I was able to get with my digital setup and lenses, so I view this as progress (for me...

Re: Open letter to the TE management
Quite frankly Jack, it's unbecoming of an artist such as yourself to engage in petty rants. If this site so poorly meets your needs it may make more sense to construct your own little kingdom where...

Re: Medium Format Films
Hi Alex,
I too recently purchased a Mamiya 645 Pro-TL. For black and white I use Kodak TMAX 100 (I do my own negative development as well), and for color I initially used Fuji 160 and Kodak...

Very sad. Another one of those...

Re: Workflow problems

One of the problems is that PhotoShop allows you to fiddle forever. If you step back for a moment, the goal is really to figure out what you are looking for in advance, then gradually...

Another good spot is Monument Valley. Take one of the guided hikes where you can camp out overnight. A truly spectacular experience.

Re: Circular polarizer
To figure out which filter you need for that lens you need to check the filter size (it's usually marked somewhere on the lens (my Nikon lenses are 77mm and 55mm). If you haven't yet embarked on...

Re: Points giving and critiques
Hi Will,
I'd have to agree that the whole points thing is kind of immature, and critiques are much more valuable. Giving someone 2 points is pretty much of zero value (unless they like having...

Re: ND Grads
I would guess that technically speaking since it's easier to recover underexposed areas than overexposed ones, it would make more sense to go for the darker ND grad. In reality a 2-stop works pretty...

Yes, a good question indeed. In fact, I'd never given it much thought. I guess if I'm honest I'm working toward the holy grail of taking the best shots of locations/people/things that...
