Thanks Godfrey! Great photo! I think there's something really annoying with the constant search for perfect, noise-free images. I get it, cameras nowadays can resolve every photon in a scene without noise at all. Boring. Art is a play between lost and found, between what you show and what you suggest, or better yet, what the viewer thinks you show and or suggest. This photo by Godfrey is a good example of this.
Having great tools is just that, great. But seeking perfect sharpness and rendition regardless of whether these things contribute to the image at all is what I said--boring. However, I'm grateful to those who review photo hardware and show the rest of us what's sharp and what bokeh looks like. That helps my effort, when I want a sharp lens or something that does this or that, I can find that info by looking at what the pixel peepers said. j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.juanbuhler.com On Sat, Apr 17, 2021 at 8:04 AM Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> wrote: > Nicely done, Juan!
