Re: Looking Back

Big Basin Redwood Park, 2008. Last year during California fires most of the park was burned down. In the 1980s and 1990s when I lived in Silicon Valley I used to go to Big Basin often. Hiking, taking photos, and just enjoying the beautiful park and the big Redwoods. Sad to hear that it burned down....

Re: Jay Maisel loves his Nikon 28-300mm

I did some checking in Lightroom about my usage of the Sony 18-250mm and Olympus 14-150mm.

Sony 18-250mm (27-375mm-efl):

<= 40mm (60mm-efl) - 44%
>= 135mm (202.5mm-efl) - 33%

Olympus 14-150mm (28-300mm-efl):

<= 30mm (60mm-efl) - 53%
>= 100mm (200mm-efl - 24%

Re: B&W (Monochrome) Japan Street Photos & People

Henry, I have seen your collection before and I tried again now. It is always the same reaction. I get depressed watching your collection. I lose all my self confidence and even self esteem to even hold a camera. I want to put away my camera and walk away from photography for ever. It usually takes...

Re: Jay Maisel loves his Nikon 28-300mm

The Olympus 14-150mm f4-5.6 is a better lens than the Sony 18-250mm f3.5-6.3. And the 20mp and 16mp m4/3 sensors are much better than the Sony A700 12mp APS-C sensor. Not surprising because sensors got better since 2007, even smaller sensors.

Re: Jay Maisel loves his Nikon 28-300mm

Recently I read that Jay Maisel loves the Nikon 28-300mm on his Nikon DSLRs. He likes the biggest Nikon DSLRs such as the D3 class. A few days ago youtube recommended a short video of him talking about his way of photographing and it sounded just like what I have done for almost 50 years. Just go o...

Re: Old camera appreciation!

. Henry; Since this happens on the computer's EDGE browser and since I can view all your images on my Samsung cellphone, here's what I found: I used to be able to see the same photos years ago when you posted them to the forum and the Challenge thread.

Re: Canon G16 review has most interest

The review views are much more even now, but the Canon G16 is still #1. What is interesting is that this thread about the review thread views is by far the most popular. :lol: And, as is usual here, this forum is mostly takers with almost no givers -- not a single reply out of thousands of views.

Re: Old camera appreciation!

Well, I have been posting these links on this forum since 2007 with no problems. So it must be a new problem. Can you explain why it works for most people, but not 2 of you? That is an interesting question. It might be that you have a computer problem or an ISP problem or something else.

Re: Old camera appreciation!

Those of you who can't view my photos I am assuming you haven't set Display images within posts to No in your User Control Panel. Right?

As we know, most people can view them.
