    Opinion on images

    I would like to solicit the boards opinion on which of these 4 images you think is "best" and by that I mean which would you choose to submit to a landscape photography contest? #'s 2 and 3 are different exposures taken within a minute of each other so the differences are subtle TIA

One of these images below is a 1 full stop HDR composed with 7 individual images and the other is a single, matrix metering w/ EV = 0. The single image was PP'ed using only LR-4, nothing fancy and the HDR with Photomatix. So I'm...

    Why you should never use a wireless remote shutter release

    Yesterday evening I was at Bird Rock near the edge of the tidepools waiting for the sunset and there were a couple other photographers to the right of me. I was on a slightly higher part of the rock because the tide was coming in and when it does, it comes in pretty quick. So we did the whole...

    Nasim Mansurov's 70-200 f/4 vs, f/2.8 head to head comparison - the verdict is in

    Very interesting new post by Nasim on the 70-200mm f/4.0. You can read the entire post HERE or just skip to the conclusion that I've cut and pasted below. Hence, unless you really need the fast aperture of f/2.8 for low-light situations and shallower depth of field beyond 13 feet (and maybe...

    Does anyone own a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod?

    I've been meaning to upgrade my current old 3001 Manfrotto tripod for one that stands a bit higher with the center post down and I've narrowed it down to the 055X series. So I was wondering if anyone else has this tripod and if so would they buy it again? TIA
