Thank you, Juan! I appreciate the compliment! :) The lure in all technical subjects for technically minded folks is to concentrate on the technology, whether or not the results have a positive impact on the results of the endeavor or not. I do my best to avoid the 'constant search for perfect, noise-free images' and try to think about making photos I like from a different perspective. I don't get annoyed at what others do other than when I get suckered into doing it too … which happens, occasionally. 🙄
It's a lot easier to talk about cameras from the perspective of megapixels, sensor size, et al, than it is to discuss photographs. Discussing photographs means we have to think about what we're seeing, capturing, and why/how it affects us ... what our intent in presenting it might be. Can't just look at a spec sheet for information on that… G > On Apr 17, 2021, at 12:28 PM, Juan Buhler <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Godfrey! > > Great photo!
