Its generally good practice not to buy too much paint and canvases before you are sure you have learned to paint. Photography has spoilt many people... :-D Sure, I know what you mean with the ...

No. But it would certainly be better with the whole face be in focus, including tongue. Close down a little bit, focus in the middle, and bingo. You must know some very rough ladies :-P By the way, ...

Which is a good thing, in my opinion. I have, almost, thrown out a whole collection, but I tend to to keep one or two to remind me of the occasion. The idea being that I have an idea about what ...

But it cannot classify as more than, at most, an appetizer :-) Regards, Mike

I like the expression - is that through glass?!? But the eyes, Cody, the eyes, not the nose... :-O Regards, Mike

Yeah, and I even said so... http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57595551 - :-D Regards, Mike

Going for something new? :-D Like others have said. Long lens, wide aperture, perpendicular and close to glass, perhaps polariser, clean glass first - this will reduce the glass reflections and ...

That one I don't know, but try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKvrLrQM5wI - that looks like it could help you with the perspective changes. There are also quite some few tutorials on correcting ...

You can probably do that without posting the images... What photo editor are you using? Edit: You can also try the Retouching sub-forum Regards, Mike

I should think that your usage falls under fair use. But common courtesy says, irregardless of any laws, that attribution is a good thing. Again, common courtesy... Regards, Mike

I surely hope you either receive the lens in the next days, or that you speedily get your money back. Regards, Mike

Yes, perhaps I should have written mis-focused instead - but I thought that would have been obvious. Leonard has the numbers elsewhere in the thread. According to Leonard's description, no. It ...

Appears to be mostly in focus. Well done :-D Regards, Mike

+1 million Why, oh why, can't more people show sensible attitudes like this? Life as a photographer and a tourist would be so much simpler... But no, instead they have to jump up and down, frothing ...

Thank Goodness for that! But why then did the OP label it a kidnapping? Was it just to be incentive? Or does he really not know? (It does not need mentioning, but I will do it anyway - what those ...

Sigh. "Wont somebody please think of the photographers!" (With apologies to the Simpsons) Edit: To clarify: The behaviour of the those idiots in the UK (not the photographers) is of course deeply ...

Why is this thread still hanging around in the Open Forum? Regards, Mike

Oh, Oxyzy, where art thou? I wouldn't say that he is sorely missed - but he at least generally could mostly formulate a post to make it somewhat readable :-) ;-) Regards, Mike

Yes. He'd probably be one of those who would yell, loud and clear of course, at the natives to make them understand him... :-) Regards, Mike

It didn't turn into anything; it simply continued as it was - on purpose - started, by a political troll. Let's amend that to any country , and then you have my full agreement. Regards, Mike
