When posting in the "Classified" section, yes.

Thanks for the link - I'll be sure to bookmark it this time.

Gotta love the Grand Canyon. I also really like your avatar, smiling people in strange far-away places remind me what it is to be human!

I'm sorry for repeating myself, Terje you did it again! Beautiful! How fortunate you are to find yourself in such locales that present opportunities to make striking images. You do fine work. I always enjoy your posts.

I've misplaced the link to your page though, would you mind posting it again?

I like my D5200, but I would love a D800E and a stable of fine FX lenses to go with. Alas, my modest budget won't allow it.

I second that! A few regulars here could do well to remember this is an online community of like minded folks sharing a common basic interest. Communities are always better when everyone respects (in open comment at least) their fellow members.

Thanks to all for the generous comments!

I agree, step by step isn't needed. I think of what Ansel Adams did with his work, spending much time and effort in the darkroom making prints. He was known to return to a negative years after he took the shot and made the first prints, and reinterpret the image as he made new prints with different techniques and/or emphasis. His vision of the final image he wanted to create changed, even while using the same original negative. Those are the kinds of things I'm interested in.

When I go to the home page, only the sections I've subscribed to show up. Maybe that's why you see fewer sections, you're only seeing the topics you have subscribed to. I go to the 'all sections' page now and then to see what's going on in all the other sections I don't subscribe to.

I noticed today the 'cutting room floor' section is actually closed, even though it still appears in the list on the all sections page.

Glad you found offers valid on your side of the pond.

I wasn't sure how sections were decided upon. I see a new section was created in May having to do with books, so someone felt that was a good idea.

The two of us have had our disagreements about this topic, but I respect your opinion. I might not agree. Since being labelled a ranter, I want to be sensitive to the opinions of others without offending.

Clearly, I'm in favor of a new section, but I don't want to go against the will of the majority. I'll pitch my idea to the administrator, but ask if it can/should be posed to the membership as a referendum.

Through the rear-view mirror on my Camry. Wall art discovered last weekend on the side of a restaurant. A few tweaks to the RAW image while playing with my new copy of PSP X5 - boosed saturation, high-pass sharpening and a little extra sharpening on top.

You did the right thing. It's the right thing because you are happy with the photos you are making. There are many cameras to choose from, while some folks have their opinions about their favorites for a variety of reasons, there really is no 'best' choice.

The Sony you bought will serve you well I suspect. It has some pretty cool features. I use another brand, but my choice was made out of loyalty and because I have access to lenses that work with the camera I chose. I think your choice was as good as any for the price point, maybe better than most.

Thanks! More of a snapshot than any great effort on my part.
