I get so involved in the large items I tend to miss the small ones.<br /><br />Interesting explanation of the aperature versus cropped sensor relationship. <br /><br />Orin,<br /><br />I guess one has to at least learn the rules in order to know how to constructively break them, eh?<br /><br />Krysta,<br /><br />I think shooting in Raw would be more fun in warmer weather. We won't even talk about camera BUFFers!<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Danirondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-84092390087715922092010-01-21T09:36:03.800-08:002010-01-21T09:36:03.800-08:00Charlie6,

And, as you surmise, raw will solve many of the compromises you are currently encountering. <br /><br />You asked for feedback, so I'll give just a tiny bit ... not criticism, by the way.<br /><br />You're responsible for every pixel in the frame and you choose what to include and what to exclude. The fountain would have been better if the right side were all inside the frame ...<br /><br />Aperture is relative to sensor size. F8 with a full frame 35mm sensor will not yield the same depth of field as F8 with a medium (2-1/4 in )or large format (4x5 inch) film camera. The smaller the film or sensor size, the larger the aperture for the same apparent depth of field. So, with the G-11, f4.5 or so will give similar results as f8 on your nikon.<br /><br />Regarding "horizon" rules, yes and now. Let your own sensibilities guide you. Rules are meant to be guides, not absolutes.<br /><br />Keep working ... you're on the right path!Chuck Pefleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886326288618029812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-65569450051441972162010-01-20T18:55:14.776-08:002010-01-20T18:55:14.776-08:00Dan:

I think the G11 is better at higher ISOs than the G10, I hardly go over ISO 400.<br /><br />The compromise by using small P&S cameras, even the "G" series, is lack of full manual control. If you have time to window shop check out the Panasonic GF1 and GH1 models. With adapters they can use lenses from other manufacturers. <em>(Note to Katie: I did NOT tell Dan to buy one, but merely to hold one)</em>. A lot of my professional photog friends have them. I think if you hold one in you hands, your fingers won't let go<br /><br />One thing about photography, it is a tool to bring back memories and something you can do at any age.<br /><br />bob <br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-47984014049993823392010-01-20T17:49:39.697-08:002010-01-20T17:49:39.697-08:00those are some great shots Dan, loved the first on...those are some great shots Dan, loved the first one of the fountain!redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
