FWIW, that's a turkey vulture flying against the sun (two exposures

Bring back a standup comedian to host like the guy that hosted the
first episode of the season. Everyone is sick of the crappy episodes
when we could be watching Johnny Gan and Pongo's talkshow over on
MadTV or Tom LaPont's cut-off-your-penis-and-balls real estate

This is a subjective question, mostly.  I have an art show next week
and wanted to blow up a negative to a pretty large size, long print
about 20x40, for the fascade of my booth.  The staff at the print shop

Hi!  My name is Adam Schmidt and I've been a professional photographer
for my living for 23 years.  My studios have made millions.  I have

That's with the MF Tokina 300mm f/2.8 plus 1.x TC. Click for full pixel
crop. I'm pretty happy with this one. It's a little bird and very

I would like to show you some pictures taken

What high-end digital cameras operate and feel most like traditional
manual cameras (controls in right place, held in a similar way). The Leica
V-Lux (and the Panasonic "clone" of it, or from which it was cloned,

Just in case anyone here thinks Bret Douglas actually has a clue about
