    Modern Photographer's Dictionary

    Growing up in the backwoods of the hills (or was it the hills of the backwoods), we had to have a special dictionary so outsiders would know what we were saying. One of my favorite terms from that old dictionary was cauterize, which means "saw her look my way". Thought it would be good if we...

    how many clicks did your new camera have?

    A couple of websites I found claim that you can use PS to open an image and then look under the advanced tab in the File/File Info dialog for the line I circled in the screen shot below. If this is correct, my first shot with the D3200 was number 4.

    Macro lenses on DX bodies?

    Yes, because the DX is a smaller frame to fill. If you used the same lens on a both and printed the images life size 1:1, then the DX print would be smaller and overlay perfectly on the FX print. The subject size would be the same. Here is a diagram representing the same lens at the same...

    Weekly Challenge July 23-30: "Fire"

    We've kicked around the cutoff timing, and I suspect it will change, but these first two weeks started with the midnight cutoff for both, which is why we emphasized both weeks not to wait til the last minute to enter a pic. PArt of the mix is creating the Top 3 poll at the end requires some...

    Weekly Challenge July 23-30: "Fire"

    Looking at the concern of @Bob Blaylock. I cannot necessarily speak for anyone else, including the Weekly Challenge Team. I frame it this way because the Weekly Challenge is pretty much wide open to the individual photographer's interpretation, imagination and even capabilities...

    Eyelight's Rest of the Story

    Sometime you have an idea; an image in your head. So, you play around with it, try a little this and a little that and the next thing you know, you've created something you can't even recognize yourself. Another abstract photo is born.

    How Sensor Size, Focal Length, Distance and Subject Size Relate to Each Other

    Note: I think I have this worked out, but that does not mean it makes sense or that it is a perfect explanation. The diagrams are based on real numbers, but the math is absent to protect the innocent (keep it visual). I started fiddling with the diagrams the other day, but my Cadd software...

    Fine Tune Autofocus: Could This Have Been the Culprit?

    Depending on the photos. Unless they all had shallow DOF, it seems something should have been in focus. Glanced at the online manual and it does say that, wait, let me do this:
