Exposures that are loooong, say 2 min. or more. Should noise reduction be set on camera or not? If I under stand correctly the processing time for the exposure is as long as the exposure, so a 4 min. exposure would take 4 min. in camera to process? So if I where to turn it off and fix the noise...

Does one need to worry about white balance, when taking a Black & White photo in camera? From all of the books that I have read, there seem to be no mention on white balance. Have read a couple of Ansel Adams books and there is no mention of it in them either. Did they not need to worry about it...

When the camera meters through the fog, is the camera giving me a proper reading? Or should the reading given, be adjusted? Thanks Michael

Why do we assume that a manipulated picture of a flower, where the leaves are other than green, incorrect, that something is wrong? Yet viewing a "painting" of the same flower with the leaves in any colour acceptable? Michael:confused:

Came upon this, and thought some may find this artical helpful. Very good read if you ask me. Texture Photography -- Part 1 Michael

Looking to tether my D90 to my Toshiba Thrive tablet, to use it as Live View mostly. Cant seem to find any software to allow me to do this. I can find a few good programs for laptops, but nothing for Android tablets. Any help in this matter would be muchly appreciated. Thanks Michael

Well with the new year approaching fast, have you contemplated on a new-years photography resolutions? I myself have come up with 3. * fine tune my compositions *working more with a ND filter *try to create an emotion with my photos What about yourself? Michael

My question is, would there ever be a time that when metering or take a pic it would be justified covering up the view finder? I realize that on a sunny day or even for that matter a overcast day, the amount of light entering the camera through the view finder and hitting the sensor would not...

When backing up photos to disk, is there a preferred software program that everyone uses? Is there such a program that I can burn a partial disk and then continue where I left of once I have more to back up? Thanks, Michael

Was just wondering who your favorite famous photographer is? What do you like about their photos. Michael

Not my best, but I like it. Michael

Is there a specific f/stop that renders a particular color better then the rest,( example f/22 renders yellow really close, but red looks washed out.) And say f/14 is best for red, but the yellow looks to dark?:confused: thanks, Michael

Knowing that you are going to convert your image to black and white, should one expose for the whites and let everything else fall as they may? Or should one expose for the middle tones,or yet expose for the subject and let everything else fall as they may? Michael,:confused:

If I have read it correctly, I can take 2 or 3 shots and the camera will blend the photos together. Every where I look says keep (gain) on. It further says that if taking 2 shot, it will Ev them at 1/2 and if I take 3 it will Ev them at 1/3. K got all that. Now the question, if I take 2 shots...

Curious as to how many of you usually get what your looking for on the first shot? Why I ask is, I have read several photography books and only a couple have mentioned having to take several shots to get what they are looking for. And the rest make it sound as if they get it on the first...
