I used them for years and was always pleased. I have changed now to Nations, strictly because their prices are better.

As digital camera technology progresses the way and how we shoot changes. Recent technology changes the way we think about making an image. Many paradigms of film do not work with the new digital technology.

One of these paradigm shifts is using post-processing. As this thread is suggesting, press the shutter button thinking how I am going to post-process this image. The phrase "getting right in camera" should be about getting the best information saved for post-processing.

As a reference, the first place I saw this idea of underexposing by 1-2 stops was by Bryan Peterson in the 3rd edition of Understanding Exposure.

Great reply, I have discovered, unfortunately on my own, after a long time of doing this. Wish I had this info a long time ago. So much more that can be done with an underexposed image. Well said.

You would think that after 45 years of carrying a camera, I would be bored with it, but I still love talking photography and taking photos. In fact now that I no longer have to use my camera, I enjoy it more. Some of my photography can be seen on http://hughkesslerphotography.com


Welcome, it is a great forum and I share your feelings and about the same number of years, it is beside me in my car at all times.

Egrets are fun. There is a rookery a few miles from me. They feed on the lakes around me and return to the rookery at night.


Thank you, underexposed it a stop to keep the whites from blowing out, could have increased it a bit, liked how it darkened the background though.

We are planning a trip to Ireland. I want to upgrade to a very good point and shot camera with a good zoom and easy to use while traveling. I currently have an Olympus which uses the XD card which is no longer available. My Olympus is 10 megapexel with a zoom of 4.6-92mm. I have read a lot of reviews but am more confused as to which is the best camera. Open to suggestions.


I just purchased the Canon G5x, it is worth a look see for sure, I love it.

Ease of use varies a lot from brand to brand, model to model, and even user to user, due to hand size, dexterity, and preference.


I am sure I jumped the gun a bit, only having experience with Canon, probably do not have all the brand to brand and model to model experience that you do.

In the film era, lenses had big, honkin' aperture rings! Control was on the lens, not the camera.


And I remember those, just don't think it is harder on today's cameras, course only have owned Canon's, saw where he said the had one that was different, a Fuji? I think.

I think that the reason that this doesn't happen more is that there are so many settings on a modern DSLR that can be inadvertently moved or changed that people don't feel comfortable not checking.

Also, it's harder on a DSLR to change aperture or whatever (depending on the camera) than it was when there were only two things to set; aperture (on the lens) shutter speed (on a dial on top) and it was clearly visible what they were set on.

I had Fuji cameras for a while and their form factor encourages SLR shooting style, but ultimately, I went to film...and I love it.

I do not understand what you mean by " it's harder on a DSLR to change aperture." On my camera in Aperture priority it is simply rotate the dial.

I am right handed as well as right eye dominant. I have all ways used my left eye to focus, and keep my right eye open. don't know why, it's just the way I have all ways done it.


Me too. Am totally left handed but at my age, using a pair of left-handed scissors is totally foreign as is a computer mouse programmed for left handers, it is totally foreign to me. There are so many things that if you are a left hander you just adapt. Think the original poster, must have never used a camera to be concerned. If that person has not would be the only way I would even try to understand his post, or if there was a handicap with his right hand.

The only "advantage" to using it on a full frame would be a wider field of view.


Won't go into it, but that is certainly debatable.

Well, not sure I agree with that, what paper do you use?

I use 13x19 Premium Lustre from Epson, find it not too expensive.

:D :D If you're saying that to make me feel better, it worked. If you actually did that, I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one. Misery loves company and all that.


And those Epson folks selling the ink applaud your efforts. :)
