No, but some serious consideration should be given by the camera manufacturer's to the Jpeg2000 and other super Jpeg iterations.

It's time to move from an 8 bit Jpeg to one of the more advanced Jpegs moving up to 12bit image bit depth.

It's been played with, but the camera manufacturers would have to understand how much more marketable their camera's would be with a better color palette and other advances offered by 12 bit processing.

Any consideration of dumping current Jpeg is premature, since one must actually process about 10 to 12 "save" commands to view degradation without pixel peeking, or better said, "with the naked eye".

It takes about a dozen runs successively over the same file, for the compression algorythm to show up, as said, to the naked eye.

I am considering adding Nik Software to my workflow. When searching for products I discovered they were acquired by Google. The bundle package price seems reasonable; however, in my searches for information I come across some indications that since being acquired by Google there have been problems with support and assistance on Nik products. There seems to have been a drop of in promotion of the product. I even noticed their facebook page doesn't look like it has had activity for some time and there were negative comments about service. Is Nik software a good investment? Does anyone have concerns about support with future versions of Photoshop or Lightroom or operating software upgrades? Are they still working to enhance the product?

I do youth sports picture day, where I set up backdrops and flooring for the posing. I have strobes as well. Yet parents insist on whipping out their iphones and standing behind me taking shots. I am not sure if all of the parents are just using the set up to not buy pictures , but I feel I can not do anything about it. I have assistants that block shots inadvertently, their job is to get the shot not run interference. I know that not all parents can afford to buy pictures and are quite satisfied with a snap shot or two. My job is for the rest of the parents, to give them the best shot possible. There is very little time after the shot for parents to take their shot, since the youngsters move out of the backdrop right after we get our shot. Usually our crew blocks most of the shots. We however do not allow their flashes to go off when we are taking shots. It is just a split second or two that parents might get to take shot. It is not a big deal. We have to be professional at all times, and avoid any conflicts with parents. I do have one technique where I tell the parents standing behind me to move to the side as their presents are affecting the child. It works most of the time. I do not allow parents to use our set to pose their child between team shoots. I usually let them know that it would tie up the flow and we don't want to run behind schedule.

Yesterday I went to a Cancer Fund raising event, in which my daughter was competing.
I got to the event in ample time to find a good spot to stand at the end which had some good views of a "Mud Chute"
About 20 minutes later this official photographer arrived and stationed himself and his equipment exactly in front of me ruining my point of view.
I asked him to move to one side but he just looked at me and completely ignored my request, I also couldn't move as the event was now very crowded.
I have experienced this before and cannot believe how very rude and inconsiderate this clan of so called professional people can be to their fellow photographers.
It was so bad that this photographer!! appeared in almost every shot I took.
I gave up so didn't get a photo of my daughter thanks to him.

Hi! I very much like the angle from which you took the bridge. We can see the architecture of its beautiful shape.

Would you consider cutting some of the bushes so that the bridge seems closer to the viewer? The bridge is the subject of the photo and I think so much bush is too much.

I also don't like the starbursts of the lights. They just don't seem real, even if they are. There's one on the right side that's not part of the bridge structure, but where there are buildings, that I would consider diminishing.

I also wonder if the bridge would stand out more if the background were not as well lit or in focus as the bridge itself. It's as if everything is the subject in this photo, when I think the bridge is.

Despite what I've written, a stunning black and white photo.
