Has anyone read Fred Parker? I have been wanting to go out and try his charts out but the weather has been miserable here. It is supposed to be nice today finally so maybe I can get out and shoot. If anyone has tried them I would love to see your results.

Another thing I found interesting, I don't remember which article it was (and i'm too lazy to look for it at the moment,) was that the histogram you see on your camera will be based on a JPEG result even if you are shooting in raw.... did anyone else get that or did I read it wrong?
Yes I did read that, that's because the picture that your camera displays is JPEG, at least that is what everything I have read stated.

I bought the criticizing photographs book and got it within 1 week. Just FYI
That's good to know but as for July we are already in the second week so by the time everyone gets it I'm just afraid its a little late. Maybe we can do that next month, because I really would like to read that one.

I am going to vote for Understanding Exposure.
I would like something along the lines of Criticizing Photographs but its only sold in paperback and by third party on amazon, so it may take a while to get.
If we could find something similar in kindle version or maybe plan for hardcovers a couple months in advance so everyone can get it might be a good idea. JMO

I came away with you should expose to the right but don't spike on either the right or the left. This is the first time that I have read that there is more information to the right, but that makes sense to me. If you expose to the left you risk lots of noise and loss of detail. I need to read more.
Right, it does make sense that there would be more information on the right side. The one article talked about exposing to make the best negative, to me that's saying you have a lot of PP to do.

OK I will start the discussion. First I read both books and truly enjoyed them, there is a lot of great info. The first thing I want to start with is the histogram. In both books there are articles where they talk about exposing (or overexposing) for the bright areas, or getting the histogram on the right side of the graph, because that is where the majority of the information is,then fixing it in PP. Is this the norm? I have never really done much PP. Honestly until I joined the hog I thought it was more of an artistic tool. Would like everyone's input on this.

What about every other month we do a book/article on technique and the other month a book on another concept of photography? Critiquing photos, collections of works from other photographers etc?
That sounds like a good idea to me.

I take offense to your opinion that "music is stupid." I have Enya playing music on my website and have many positive comments on it. Thank you very much. WWW.BESTWEDDINGPHOTOS.NET
I have to agree with CaptainC there is nothing I hate more than clicking on a website and music starts blaring, I close the site asap and move on. If you want to have a slide show set to music on your site as an option that's one thing. You may get some compliments but how many others do the same thing I do and close it. JMO I don't mean to offend you.

Thank you all for the comic relief this morning, if I had a keyboard I would have spilled my coffee in it.

I had this same thing happen to my Nikon and it was the motor. However, if you just got it back you have 180 days warranty so they should take it back and fix it. I would contact Nikon asap.
