Thanks, haven't needed to do that yet.

WHY even have a camera.... you will NEVER duplicate the dynamic range of the naked eye !

My memory is more volatile than an SD card.

Not sure why it wouldn't. I'm not talking about the UHH bookmarks but the bookmarks that your browser stores. Any URL can be stored in your browser.

My phone has been my field computer for the last decade or so.

Oh yes, I did think you meant UHH bookmarks. Thanks.

I also have the Photographer's Ephemeris on it, but I almost never do any cut/copy/paste-ing.

The camera does not necessarily record what you "see." If you shoot in RAW then it's up to you to "doctor" the photo to your liking. If you shoot .jpeg SOOC then the camera processes the photo according to how you have set it up in the settings. You may not like it in all cases and want to tweak it. It's entirely up to you.

Then there is the question of art, which is subjective.

Thanks Linda (and DirtFarmer) for trying to help me here. I just don't do well with touch screens, especially small ones. If there is any cutting and pasting involved I much prefer my laptop.

Actually, I was thinking maybe GET some glasses. The camera sees so differently than our eyes do.

Once you take your camera out of "FULL AUTO" mode and set any setting yourself, you have already changed what the camera sees before you even take the photo out of the camera.

Come on 'stanco' show yourself. Seven pages of discussion, and you still remain silent. At the moment I am typing, you are 'ONLINE'.

I kinda see what he means, having come up in photography in the film era without a dark room to manipulate a shot, I always saw a picture as a slice of the world, good or bad. With the amount of post work done now (adding or removing mountains, people, buildings, etc,) you could just as well go through the internet finding stock photos and creating photos, maybe we should always add a post note when we PP, "not as seen in real life" so we now if its something in this world of the "photographers" imagination.

Perhaps this is an entirely rhetorical question on the part of the OP. Nothing like staring a "riot" to cheer up a dull morning.

Photography is just like any other art, craft, science, discipline, and creative endeavor- not everyone who practices it, approaches it the same way and NOR, should they! Especially where artistry is concerned, wouldn't it be dull if everyone did exactly the same things according to some kind of rule or standard? Image if everyone took the same approach to everything

Imagine this, you turn on the radio, purchase a recording or go to a concert and all the music is the same- from the same era perhaps all classical or heavy metal. You wannt do the tango and all yo get it Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. You visit the museum or gallery and all the art is done the same style. What it would it be like if no one innovated or embraced new technologies or for that matter, reverted to the old?

In photography, there is a place for fact and fantasy, strict photojournalism, and bizarre fakery, the literal and the abstract- it's up to the makers. "Consumers" can pick and choose and enjoy what they like. The critics can critique!

Think about this; The camera is nothing more than a visual recording device, most of them, with one "eye". We humans, come from the factory with two eyes so we have binocular vision and depth perception. So... most photographers spend lots of time faking their heads off, knocking themselves out with the use of light just to create the illusion of the third dimension on a sheet of two-dimensional paper or a flat screen. Fakery, shenanigans, chicanery, hoodwinking, ALL OF IT I SAY! Let's all go back to stick figures and cave paintings.

Ansel Adams and William Mortensen had this big fight about style- they hated each other...look how they ended up...they're both dead SEE waht happens!

Y'all have a good day now!
