definitely a lion fish - probably a volitans

But is it implied consent if you get the information on the back of the ticket after you put down your money - not prior?

Also, what is the consent if the back of ticket is never read?

I don't see how Longwood can say that you gave consent if they haven't verified notification.

My experience differs with the student/faculty version.

The information provided by B&H said that I would be required to submit a copy of a valid ID. Registration did not even ask for this information. At no time was there mention of the programs (Light Room and Photoshop) being for school use. Just the full programs at a discount.

My thought at the time was that something got messed up in the registration. I never heard that it was necessary for the programs to be for classroom use. If that were the case, it is hard to understand a perpetual license on this version.

I believe that there are already too many sections and there is unnecessary fragmentation. With that said, I think there would be enough interest and participation to justify the addition of wedding photography. I fully support the idea.

Yes, this image is nearly monochrome. In such an image (gray), I would expect the R, G and B channels to be essentially equal. They are.

In a high tone image, I would expect these peaks to be further to the right and in a lower tone, I would expect them to be further to the left.

Equal components would yield essentially a neutral gray which is close to what we have here. The histogram is exactly what should be expected for this image.

Not at all weird.

You are describing a high contrast image. Is it not true that all images do not present best with high (harsh) contrast, but some do with intermediate tones? I ask that you consider something like a young woman (or a young child) with a gentle, soft skeletal structure and soft looking skin - why would you find it necessarily to portray her with high contrast?

The ability to create high contrast is only one of the options with Black and White. Why discount the intermediate grays which are also black and white. It seems as there are many instances on this forum where the terms gray scale and black and white are used interchangeably.

With 256 tones, how many are black and how many are white?

I think you have a great Idea. You are at least the 2nd person this week who wants to start a new section. If my count is correct, there are already 24 ideas that have been started.

I myself haven't decided if we should have more specialty sections, or should cull some that we have and make others more general.

I am awaiting the responses of those who have a great overall, organizational concept.

I see over exposure on the rims, not glare.

Metals, to my understanding, do not polarize light; if the light is not polarized, a cpl will will not have glare to effect. A CPL, however, will reduce reduce overall light to both under exposed and over exposed areas in a fairly consistent fashion.

Bottom line is that a polarizing filter, in this situation, will be ineffective. Softer light would result in a better capture. Just because one has good equipment does not mean that every image can be captured at any time. This situation is where skill or not tripping the shutter comes into play.

Looking back at my collection of images made me realize that I am never finished. Nothing is ever final - even after I have printed. I merely achieve a hiatus - a temporary place for reconsiderations. At times I look at a final image and start all over again. Post processing is just that - a process.

Why would you bother to save a raw file if there were no intention to go back and have another look?

I believe that your previous post was referring to the Bayer array, named after a Kodak scientist. Here is a simple article that explains the RGBG and helps explain why the Nikon 36 megapixel cameras exhibit moiere.

Hope it is helpful.

For most of most on this planet, that is absurd. Perhaps for you and some others, there is some validity.

Let us try one more time to get this issue straight.

If one changes either aperture or shutter speed, the amount of exposure changes. Under this scenerio, it would become necessary to change the ISO (sensitivity) to keep the exposure constant.

If the ISO is increased, there is a tendency for more noise. More noise results in less contrast. Less contrast results in images that are less sharp. The principle holds, although somewhat negated by more current sensors.

I think you got it right. It is not all about shooting to the right or about under exposing. It isn't all about the shadow areas either. I am a huge proponent of ETTR, but it is not always the best solution, even if it may provide the most information for post processing. It is about exposing for the best final result - and for this mileage may vary.

For a single exposure, there may no be enough dynamic range and you may be forced to block those shadows more than desired and you may be forced into more blown highlights than you desire.

Sometimes the best choice is just not to trip the shutter and walk away.

You are, of course, correct.

Would you be so kind as to explain this to Nikon so that they may correct their usage of the term.

I would quote you, but they may not have heard of Rongnongno and his expertise in linguistics and digital.

I believe it is called a hummingbird moth. I have only seen them in a prairie in northwestern Pennsylvania.
By description, a ranger told me what it was.
