That's an interesting distinction. One can have a style for creating images, and those images might show a commonality that would be another form of style.

Thanks, but I'm looking for others who DO like cigars.

That's the problem; I don't remember when I last saw it!

I'm wondering if anyone out there enjoys cigars? Care to share your go-to, never fails cigar, whether it's your regular smoke or a special occasion indulgence?

I have not thought about the Expodisk in quite a while, until there was a recent thread hereabout it. It reminded me that I always wanted to test a theory I have, and if I happen across my Expodisk, I will. But while it's missing, let me ask what you folks think. You use the Expodisk by standing where your subject is, point the camera to where you will be shooting, and take a custom white balance. Fine--but what if you're shooting a sunrise or sunset? Would you not want to point the Expodisk toward the sun and set your WB?

One of life's deeper questions...

I tend to like closely cropped images, and I'm not shy about cutting off a forehead to emphasize the eyes when photographing people. Of course, some may hate that, but that's why it's MY style! 😎

My local store, Roberts Camera, will match the B&H price, but usually their prices are the same anyway. Personally, I prefer to patronize local small businesses.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I like it a lot!

I can see how helpful the Colorchecker would be for a RAW workflow. I'll be starting a thread about when and why I sometimes use RAW+JPEG--does the Colorchecker work well with a JPEG? I've never done much pp with JPEGs, other than cropping.

For me, if she were thinner she would lose her appeal. I'm sure I'm in the minority, though

Thanks so much, everybody. Yes, I did give these and several others to the family!

What do you drink from now? And how do you set your white balance? 😜

I have one and it works fine, but I almost never use it. It's just not necessary, IMHO
