    Topaz Denoise AI experiment

    This week I took a photo of two gyrfalcon chicks in a very dark room, and auto iso determined that the max I had set (25600) was needed. Obviously the image came out quite noisy. So I did a comparison between a Lightroom denoise setting of 50 (already quite severe imo) and exporting the full...

    My Konica Minolta 5D died today :(

    Unfortunately my Konica Minolta 5D from January 2006 passed away this afternoon. After almost 15 1/2 years the cruel First Frame Black issue struck resulting in mostly black or half black frames and a need to cycle the power switch. It still takes a normal photo in less than 1/3 of the shots...

    Nudes and NSFW contains a lot of threads that don't belong there

    There's a lot of threads still under the "Nudes and NSFW section" that don't belong there (no people, everybody dressed and perfectly safe for work) . This is probably caused by renaming/rearranging several forums. I hope it will be fixed and these threads will find a better home.

    Always a bad idea to store all your photo's in just one location

    https://www.reviewgeek.com/51298/adobe-accidentally-wiped-users-photos-and-presets-with-a-lightroom-update/ Not a good performance by Adobe but it shows again that having multiple independent backups of your photo's is a good idea :lecture:

    Can a mod please kill user "anhtuvp"

    He's relentlessly spamming the visitor message utility. As far as I'm concerned he needs to be booted to outer cyberspace and his IP address blocked :angry::angry:

    Who needs more than 6 MP?

    At least for posting photo's on the web :lecture: :LOL: I dusted off my KonicaMinolta 5D (from 2006), which I retired (but didn't selll) when I got my Sony A850 in 2010 and only was sporadically used since then by my kids and a few shots by me. But it still works flawlessly, the viewfinder is...

    Some questions on Olympus EP-3 and lenses

    A friend gave me an Olympus EP-3 with a 45/1.8 lens. I especially like the small form factor and image quality seems fine as long as you stay at the lower iso's. So it might become a camera to take with me when I want to travel very light. I have no MFT experience, so hereby a few questions...

    https://www.slrlounge.com/the-sony-story-no-one-tells-not-even-sony-its-not-in-our-nature-to-snuff-out-the-fire/ Interesting read, and also interesting that the first reaction on an article about the strategy and vision of Sony comes straight from the "menu complaints echo chamber" :LOL:
