    How often do you take your camera out with you?

    I keep an advanced compact with me most times, I only take a DSLR or EVIL if I'm planning something. There are some excellent compacts available and I've yet to feel I've missed a shot. C

    Off to Paris next week, location tips apart from the obvious??

    Le Marais and Quartier Latin are great to wander round. Jardin du Luxembourg too for people watching. Views from roof terrace of the Institute du Monde Arabe. Montmartre is usually packed with tourists but the view over the city is good. If you find yourself around Cardinal Lemoine or Rue Monge...

    If you have emailed SB&G, I have a feeling you may get a response similar to the one the Cleveland Browns gave. C

    Landscape photography

    It is do do with a phenomenon that light passing through an aperture undergoes diffraction. If the diffraction is sufficient and it is greater than the size of a pixel, then detail is lost. The size of the diffraction disk depends on the size of the aperture...

    If the camera is a Brownie-alike, 127 film would fit. C

    And - depending on the sensor size/pixel size/lens, you don't want to go too small an aperture otherwise the diffraction/Airy disk becomes a consideration and the detail gets a bit mushy. C

    WWII Camera Help

    No idea I'm afraid, but 'Nori' means cloud in Romanian (and 'want' in Lithuanian). I wonder if it was made there? Could you post some images of it? Seems like a Polish forum has images: http://archiwumallegro.pl/maly_aparat_fotograficzny_nori_optik_1835mm-1502433545.html

    First Edited Photo

    I'd be truly horrified if someone didn't disagree with me :). I wonder if we/I should also express how far we personally are willing to go with editing to bring the best out of a photo? I wouldn't selectively saturate or dodge/burn except in extremis - I prefer 'whole image manipulation'. No...

    First Edited Photo

    I think B&W treatment improves it a lot. I think the image has a *tiny* tilt to the right. Possibly a smidge anti-clockwise may help. Even though the horizon is halfway up, there is enough interest in both sky and land to warrant such a split. The low contrast also gives it a pleasing...

    For the 'younger' members of TP....

    I think I feel old. I was saying to myself "How can he have started in digital 10 years ago?" but then I remembered I was loaned a digital camera back in 96. The floppy disc only stored 8 images and it was a stunning 0.3mp sensor. Still have some images from that on a zip disc, if only I could...

    COSTA RICA

    Cheaper than the Arctic Butterfly is the SensorPen and it doesn't require batteries. It is just limited to 50 or so uses. I'd go for that, as needing to clean a sensor *and* being out of batteries can only be frustrating. Personally I'd buy a cheap manual focus second hand macro lens - I have...
