Comment on Depth-of-Field In Depth by Wing Lian

Crop factor shouldn’t affect depth of field. A lens with a set focal length and aperture will project the SAME image onto a given plane. Crop factor just defines the size of the rectangle of the plane which determines our “effective” focal length, but never the depth of field.

Keep up the good work. Most people make excuses instead of prioritizing time. I’ve recently started my own blog to help beginner digital photographers.

Comment on Camera Gear Storage by Shoe Storage Cabinet

Storage cabinets seen in the living room or den can hold different things. They can store media stuff like your collection of DVDs, CDs, and other records. They can also store magazines and books. Some storage cabinets are for display purposes like those you use for your home entertainment like the TV and media players. In the kitchen, you will see storage cabinets holding grocery items and dinner sets like plates and utensils. In the bathroom, storage cabinets are used for toiletries like stocks of tissue paper, boxes of soaps, medicines, and beauty products. In a bedroom, they are used to keep clothing, shoes, and personal stuff.

Comment on Digital vs. Film Photography – A Brief Cost Comparison by Inno Photo

Your friend shoots nature and landscape, in this area, there’s nothing quite like a Velvia or Provia in the DSLR arsenal. Cost wise, digital is cheaper, given. However, film shooters rarely consider cost as an issue but the aesthetics of film, no more no less.

There is a reason, Leica has not gone bankrupt including Fujifilm. Kodak deserted film and bankruptcy followed!

There’s also option of linear or demosaiced DNG which is *not* a lossless process if coming from a raw camera file.

I do not care RAW obsolescence because there will always be software for converting between formats.
In any case, it would be desirable to go for a non-proprietary open standard

The reason I import files as RAW (Sony’s *.ARW) files is two-fold. If you are browsing your pictures with your computer’s “Explorer”, you won’t be able to see thumbnails of DNG files, but there are RAW-viewer programs that allow you to do so. I don’t think there are any for DNGs. Second, if you import your files as DNGs in Adobe Lightroom and make a second copy at the same time (to a different HDD), LR will do it but the second copy will be as a RAW file! First of all, that seems to make no logical sense (if I want DNG, I want DNG, dang it!). Second of all – and this was the clincher for me – if one HDD crashes, your LR catalogs will not automatically associate all those links to DNGs from its database with the backed-up RAW files. Last year when I lost a hard drive this is exactly the problem I had, so I had to reassociate all the files in each individual folder in LR with the new one on my backup drive.

Food for thought…but if you are a purist no question, no debates. Go like your heart….RAW

When I tried DNG it didn’t support embedded GPS. Is that still the case?
