Letter to the Editor on The 'Ethics' of using Filters
"Couldn't agree more... this article confirms why filters are a MUST if we want film or digital sensors to start to see like our eyes see. And... stunning photography included, the horseback shot blows me away!"
Letter to the Editor on Member Profile
"Wow! Those insect shots are some of the best I have ever seen! That they were produced with 'consumer' gear shows again that the 'best' gear doesn't mean your gonna get great photos... good photography is about creativity, understanding light, and good design. Mark's images have all this and more. And that he has come so far in just over two years is well... scary! Very inspirational stuff!"
On How To Prepare Your Images For The NPN Forums Using Photoshop Elements, May 4, 2009
Thanks David, I totally understand what you say, the ppi makes no difference but most tutorials and websites standardize the ppi setting and I just did so out of convention. Darwin
