Since most photos used for reproduction are rarely printed higher than 300dpi it really doesn't matter matter much what the mp your camera outputs, if your image is sharp, and color balanced and output at a dpi of 300mp your image will process equally as well. It's pretty rare ive ever supplied an image greater than 300 dpi, a couple of really hi end mags go to 4 and 500 dpi. Usually hi end presses like heidelbergs can print higher using printers ink and not high speed ink jet presses.

The best camera i ever owned for great color presentation was the Kodak DCS Pro14n with Nikon glass. Color rendition extremely natural , typical Kodak Kodacolor quality. It was very rare i had to alter color rendition.

We had a 30 x 40 Brown horizontal camera and we were able to do work most people couldnt. We did a series of transparencies and separations for one of the worlds most famous wildlife artistsm Guy Cohleach. Most of his paintings were enormous, we were able to mount them on our copy board and photograph them. I have a set i saved for myself, most of which were done on consignment for magazine covers or stories. The one of the American Eagle was for Vice President Agnew and still hangs in the State Dept.

Things must have changed an awfull lot, we prepared images in PS for the best available color converted to cmyk and provided tiffs for printing. It would of been unheard of to supply an uncorrected image to a printer, what they got was what they printed. I am not only familiar with color separation but owned my own lab. We not only created 4 negs but always a 5th to control contrast, of course this was film. I later did seps in PS and working for the largest Ad agency in the world if out art wasnt correctly balanced and separated you were in trouble.

I have 3 tripods, well 2 and a monopod, 1 carbon fibre, i use for my light weights and i aluminum heavy duty which i used for tge big guns. Neither got much use. I have a little mini pod from germany which doubles as a hand strap, unscrews and makes a great little tripod which can be used on the side of a structure or roof top of a car. It has a swival head and can be locked in any position. It has to be over 40 yrs old and i use it with my Leicas, the one accessory i will mot leave jome without.

I was thinking about the Leica 1600mm, but 2 mil is a bit high, should look into this one.

Well done and welcome!

Yes it is! My neighbor had a Viper, a Vette, a custom Harley and another car dont remember what they called but looked like Hot Rod. Not bad for a guy that reads meters for Con Edison!
All new by the way.

Patman, welcome to the Nude Section!
Very nice bodyscape and very creative light source.
Maybe it's just the digitization, but the image looks pretty OOF to me. Sometimes these low light shots are easier to focus manually than with AF if you're on a tripod.
But it's a very nice shot, either way!!!

Hi, this was shot with Leica M3, 50MM Summicron lens. When i took this photo i had only that camera and that lens, no auto focus infact no auto anything. I probably didn't post the right image, i have sharper ones.

All good advice, but what do you do if you cant make contact, we all no that GPS and cell phones loose signals all the time especially if you off the beaten path. Being ex army whenever im going into wooded or mountain areas, beside carrying my cell phone, always carry a compass, will always get you home, small easy to carry. In the event i come across dubious chacters I always travel with my dog, fends off bad ppl as well as other animals out there.
