One mentioned cost as the biggest issue today. THAT is partially true.

Another issue, more important (in my opinion), is the lenses needed. These lenses of course are more expensive and limited in choice.

As to the term 'full frame' sorry but ALL cameras, even cell phones are 'full frame'.

Different sensor size leads to difference size of the 'sensels', not pixels. The larger the sensel the more light is analysed to create a pixel, theoretically producing a more accurate pixel shade and color descriptor.

Over the years I've developed a slight tremor in my hands and have started using a tripod for all my shots.... But tripods can be a bit much to lug around everywhere. I've never used a monopod. Are monopods worth the investment?

In one word: No.

A tripod works only if you are the two other feet and since you mention tremors in your hands it will simply do not work as well as you hope.

The only possible solution you have is a dampener/stabilizer harnesses often used in video. The shoulder and body hold the camera in place and your hands are not all that important.

Two questions that ask for the same result...

How do I create a large layer background (color black) then paste my image centered into it?
How do I create a black frame around my existing image?

Answer to both cases: It depends on the software used.

How so?

Dust to dust, right? Your dust will be better than mine? Is that it? Well, you are welcome to it.

Blend mode can be explained in many ways and used in as many ways. Always remember 'It depends' a solution that works incredibly well for an image will destroy another that look 'the same'.

If using PS CC blend mode is part of the layer style. If you open this function you will have many options that can become incredibly intricate and precise.

Take the time to learn on function at a time. You will be shocked at the hidden wealth hidden under the 'styles'.

Guess I was hoping that PS had upped their software to leave 'white/static' backgrounds alone.
It does

I use the USB 3 port in the camera connected to whatever uses the same USB 3 HUB or straight to a PC.

You cannot have two connections at the same time from or to the camera as far as I know.

Once tethered you can use any software to capture anything from the camera. The limits are imposed by the software.

DigiCamControl is one of the best free software around to control a camera (or more)

I do not care about what it in the film...

What I care about is under what 'reasoning this store allows themselves to keep your negatives?

THAT IS THE QUESTION.

First answer: An attack (that many supported - wrongly).
Other answers: Justification for the lack of originality.

Great stuff.

Anyone really answering the core questions?

Let's address the 'repetition first'.
More often than not it is about trying to get a better capture. A photograph is only as good as the initial capture. You shoot crap, you get crap in the end so you go back and try again and again and again. Yet it does get boring for the viewer, doesn't it?
Repetition due to comfort. Here, we are getting somewhere. When a photographer gets into a comfort zone he or she find it really hard to get out of it. That is a part of the problem. The viewer once again will get bored.
Repetition due to specialization. The issue is different. A specialized photographer is a well trained technician capable of achieving near technical perfection, often at the expense of artistry. This by the way includes so called fine art photography who also create boredom.

Personally I have a tendency to learn something and move on. Why? I get bored.

The second one is about innovation. Here anything goes and quite frankly this new world is rather weird. Innovation is not in the picture taking anymore but in the publication. There are so many things that are similar it is hard to get to the gem. There lies the problem. We are overwhelmed by the crappy images offered and we miss the best.

The result? Repetition is boring. Searching for innovation leads to a dulling of the mind and we start to accept crap as 'good' - as a viewer -. This is in turn leads to the original question.
Quote:
Question: weren't the greatest photographers those who INNOVATED? Those who did something different or creative?

When something is new, innovation is really exploitation of a novelty. Innovators are the one who created the industry. When someone created the powder he did not predict that we would use to go to war or create industries around it or even firework. That someone was the innovator. All the others are just exploiting his discovery. This goes for everything, including the wheel by the way.

Quote:
C'mon folks. . .do something your own.

Now, this really not a call to be an 'inventor' or 'innovator' but to become more creative.

A huge mistake in my opinion because when it comes to creativity I have got news for you: Creativity opens the door to appreciation and THAT my friends is a can of worms I am not willing to open.
