The reminds me of the great book by John Loengard "Celebrating the Negative". I bought it 20 odd years ago when it was first published, and at the time it seemed quite topical. Today it reads like oh-so-last-century.

Proper Handling of Memory Cards for the Digital Photographer
By Lamberto Go SA* Tip #1. Download, email, post-process and/or print your images promptly. If you wait weeks or months, the colors could fade, saturation could suffer and color balance could shift. Or worse, image files could become corrupt or you could misplace your card. Tip #2. When you're ...
E me.

Nikon D800, Woo-Hoo!
It's here, folks. The long-awaited and much-talked-about (and probably natural-disaster-delayed)...drum roll...Nikon D800. Nikon's replacement for the superb, much-loved, and undyingly popular D700 (a.k.a. the digital F100) is everything that was rumored: full-frame and 36 megapixels. And it's e...

Does Equipment Matter? (Indigestion)
This morning, B&H announced some rebates on Canon Rebels. And I found myself composing a sardonic little notice to the effect that 96% of photographers could probably do everything they needed or wanted to do just fine with a Rebel, a 3100, or a K-r—and 96% of the other 4% could get by with one ...
Lovely image Mike. Reminds me of Caponigro. I would love to see a print of this on Baryta paper (preferably "air dried F surface"). This image transcends its first glance. I think it would make a good TOP print.

Perfect Ambivalence
Normally the conversation around here is civil, considerate, and collegial, but yesterday I had to excise a number of less than generous comments. There seems to be something about any post that looks to be about "film vs. digital" that still elicits some bad attitudes and churlishness. At this ...
Thanks Mike.

Joplin
Our hearts go out today to our friends in Joplin, in southwest Missouri. Today medical and rescue personnel and volunteers from all around are converging on Joplin, scene yesterday of the worst single tornado to hit the United States in sixty years. The devastation is unbelievable. More than a h...

If CS3 can read DNG raw files (presumably it can) then the answer is yes.

DxOmark: Nikon D7000 Fails to Dethrone Pentax K-5
The results are in: the Nikon D7000 has failed to topple the Pentax K-5 as the APS-C king. ...But just marginally. The D7000 ends up at 80 vs. the K-5's 82. For all intents and purposes, the category results are equivalent—as Ctein is forever trying to point out, tiny differences in scores 'n' m...
