Real Photographers use Polaroid.
I've known some to do that, albeit many years ago.
They would check composition and exposure before clicking the real deal.

I've come to realize that when I shoot in any format other than RAW, the images taken are essentially post-processed by the user setting applied within the camera. The resulting image, such as a JPEG, is manipulated based on the numerous choices and extents that we select, including film simulation. When we shoot in "Auto" the camera makes those choices for us which, of course, are processed and may not represent them "as seen".

Not my point. If the work is good and worth valuing then we naturally and rightly want to acknowledge the person who created it. It's at best an oversight to fail to acknowledge the artist, author, performer, etc. I'm suggesting that oversight is more likely made when what the creator has produced fails to inspire us to ask, "who did this?"
Oh, I wondered who did it, but not enough to spend a ton of time researching it.
And good is relative, eh?
What you think is good and what I think is good may be vastly different. Or, quite possibly they may be the same given a certain instance.
That's what makes you you and me me.

Billboards are only one of a host of reasons one would want to blow a photo up to larger than a jpg would allow. You might want to create a framed photo of an ancestor and all you have is a small 2x2 or 3x5 from which to copy. Gigapixel is a response to that need.
Figured that.
Maybe some day in the far future I might consider it.

Exactly! That's one of the reasons Gigapixel was created.
Trying to remember when I last did a billboard...

That's why Gigapixel exists - It converts a jpg with its blow-up limitations and creates a version of the photograph that doesn't pixillate until the image is about 6x the size of the original jpg.
Handy if one is doing billboards.

And I have recordings by R. Carlos Nakai that I listen to. He's a musician whose work people value and so we know his name.
Like I said the music in that animation was unremarkable enough that whoever posted the video neglected to acknowledge the music's creator. Did you know his/her name?

No, I've no idea of who created it.
I don't discount music because a person is "unknown".
When Nakai started, no one knew him either.
I don't value any work on how well known an artist may be (or not),
I value it if I like it. Music, as well as art, doesn't have to be remarkable for me to like/appreciate it.

No. An amusing curiosity at best and a run-from-the-room if it has to continue long. The music is unremarkable enough that the presenter of the video you linked appropriately failed to acknowledge it's creator. This morning I was listening to Brahms.

I think it's an excellent well-done animation.
Music is in the ears of the beholder.
Sometimes simple is good. Like R. Carlos Nakai.

Photography is this, photography is that.... Photography is whatever you want it to be. If somebody else perceives it differently from the way you perceive it, so what? Let them do their thing and in most cases they'll be happy to let you do your thing.

I moved my Quicken 2007 to a new computer and it wouldn’t restore the back-up, didn’t recognize it or something like that. Lost years of data. My Quicken data is in the Documents folder so now I just copy all of what’s there to a thumb drive when I’m done entering stuff. Will copy that to a new PC if needed and see what happens.
Odd.
I put my Quicken 2007 on two new computers (years ago), copied all the data files from the old PC putting them in a same named directory structure on the new installs. No problem. The desktop contains the master file, so to get the current data on the laptop I simply do a "restore from backup" from the desktop. Operating files are in one place, backup files in another.

I said that to our A/C guy one time. No rush.
The scheduler put it down as "No Air".
I love the little independent guys.
Of course they've been doing our HVAC for 14 years.
