    Why Are My Blue Skies Coming Out Stark White Rather Than Pleasant Greys

    Uh, then do not look and move on. No one has put a gun to your head to make you look. Just like I skip over the over sharpened over saturated crap that is posted on the internet.

    Photoshopping, a good or bad thing to do?

    Uh, yes of that is necessary. It is a matter of honestly. If you cannot take the photograph you want, then make it but do not call it a photograph.

    Photoshopping, a good or bad thing to do?

    That is why I do not even look at their lens reviews. I had one or two hard copies of DPReview and kept it in the bathroom. When COVID hit and there was a shortage of some products on the store shelves, the DPReview became a welcome substitute.

    I have photographed many subjects that Ansel Adams had, but I set up the exposure and composition to suit me. I have used his photographs to understand why to set up the composition the way he did, once seeing he approach, I use that knowledge and consider it for my approach. Which are better...

    Photoshopping, a good or bad thing to do?

    Once I see a photograph heavily manipulate a photograph by adding or removing major constituents, I automatically dismiss all the rest of the photographer's work as fiction and not worth wasting my retinas viewing anything else from him or her. It is a good way to get blown off.

    Anything can be overdone. When things are used properly, the results are usually better.

    The polarizer is just one of many choices. On another thread I stated that if I need to darken the skies and I did not bring my color filters, then I would use a polarizer. Generally I use the polarizer for black & white film if I have a need to remove reflections or glints.

    Darkroom test strip, or test print?

    I do both. If I have other prints from the roll that have similar negative I might go to a print, but usually I do test strips.

    Top Of The Line 1-Degree Meters Don't Support "Zone" Metering??

    Theo Sulphate said: ↑ My Zone VI Industries Pentax Digital spotmeter has a Zone System scale affixed (glued) next to the existing scales. Crude, but it works. It has a scale and it is not 1°, and on the other hand it does not match the scale of a Pentax, for the same EV, both give a different...

    Receiving International Shipments via USPS?

    Yes the USPS delivers, with occasional mistakes. UPS has this habit of claiming to deliver and saying that I was not there, when in fact I was there waiting for that package. I call them and get on a line with the supervisor and I get excuses so I end up demand that he/she get the package from...
