When I shoot landscapes with my RB67, I calculate the DOF I need. Then I stop down one extra stop for good measure. Since I also bracket, I'll use the shutter for that and always keep the aperture at the same setting.

How would you keep just the green channel using Lightroom?

Welcome to the frustrating world of scanning. The CIA has replaced waterboarding with scanning and has actually found it more effective. First off, 2400 is more than you'll need as the scanner cannot resolve more than that for all practical purposes. That'll reduce the scan time and the...

Duplicate-see next.

Whoever suggested an extra pass for your wife, thanks. Just ordered one for mine.

Apparently you can get a one year senior pass for $20. https://store.usgs.gov/faq#New-Senior-Pass-Update What if a senior citizen is on a fixed budget? The legislation also establishes an annual Senior Pass for $20. That pass is valid for one year from the date of issuance. Four annual...

I don't have a Leica lens. But I swear, whenever I take my car through a car wash, it drives better afterwards. It's smoother, quieter and faster. Anyone else notice that?

I agree. What I've noticed is that when I make a slide show, when I add music, the effect is heightened. If I'm looking at people I love, and the music in the background is about love , I feel the love all over again, much more so than just looking at pictures alone. Even if the music is just...

I didn't know liter was part of nature.

I use an Epson V600 which you can get new for $200. It scans 35mm and medium format (MF). (I use a Mamiya RB67 for 6x7's) If you click on my site below you can check out scans of 35mm slides, as well as MF chromes and negatives (color and BW). I think it does pretty good job for the web. It...

Here's Clyde Butcher really getting into his home for pictures. His home and studio (one of them) are right there in the middle of the Everglades (Big Cypress). I visited his gallery in Venus, Florida and bought some stuff. His BW's are huge and beautiful. His plates are tooth proof...

I don't know if I'm more creative. But I notice things around me more including the light how it plays on things. Of course, when it's good, I don't have my camera with me. :)

He once stuck a stogie into a dead Mafioso's mouth for effect. Nice touch. I think this was the picture, https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0WtRhIfrY_I/V1oT5jEXv2I/AAAAAAAABtE/ro7tSNW4qIcVjHTBGtsB-ZgxPi_5jVJewCKgB/s1600/81%2BGalante%2BCorpse.jpg

I use a handheld but have an outside company develop. I shoot MF and bracket all my shots gladly appreciating if I get two shots right out of a group of ten. I don't shoot that much. As an aside, I checked your portfolio and the photos looks good range and good contrast. Whatever you're...

Shoot both.
