Igor & Larry, your summaries are spot on. I think most of us went through those phases. I used to make composite B/W prints too (cut & paste!). Perhaps panos can be described as reverse cropping? Zooms & post-processing now virtually give free licence as long as you have enough pixels to begin

Re: Cropping

Thank you, Old Bozza. I should add that in the past one could probably say that I was obsessed with not cropping to a certain extent. If Eric wants to crop less, he can do either what you suggest and read some serious texts on the matter, or he can simply practice something like nifty-fifty for a

Re: Exposure compensation

I've found on my K-3, K20d and K10, in some cases, the individual channels - R, G, B need to be reviewed separately on the in camera histogram to prevent blow out of details in that specific channel, especially R. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original

Re: interesting comparison someone sent me

For me it's a legacy of my days running a mini-lab & trying to keep the order kiosk screens clean. I never felt I needed to use protective gloves when handling prints in the darkroom, but I damn sure did whenever I went to clean the kiosk screens. And NOT from the glass cleaner I had to use

Re: Exposure compensation

On Pentax cameras, at least, the histogram is being generated from the embedded, or generated, in the case of live view, jpeg. So you can afford and might even want some clipping of highlights if you're shooting raw. How much would depend on the jpeg camera settings since those directly

Re: Exposure compensation

Actually EV compensation affects manual mode by changing how the meter reads out. So putting settings that "match the needle" in will reflect your compensation amount. Also the green button will reset to the program line with compensation if it is engaged. On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 9:53 AM, Steve

Re: PESO -- Salt marsh with open water.

It's also known as a tidal marsh; regularly flooded at high tide - the grasses are salt tolerant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_marsh On 1/17/2017 11:31 PM, Alan C wrote: Nice composition PJ. It can't be too salty with that amount of grass. I have that lens - perhaps it needs an outing? I

Re: Cropping

Igor, I'm pretty much in the same boat - I almost exclusively shot shot slides for enjoyment (and print film for work) and didn't have the luxury of cropping except when making prints. I totally agree with your comment - "trying to make the final framing while you are shooting encourages a
