The Japanese fought most of the battle from underground bunkers and pillboxes. It was common for Marines to knock out one pillbox using grenades or a flamethrower, only to come under renewed fire from it a few minutes later, after more Japanese infantry slipped into the pillbox using a tunnel. * “Flags of our fathers” covers this very well. * Falling Man on 9/11 * Last Jew of Vinnitsa * Vulture and the little girl * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_vulture_and_the_little_girl What makes a photo last? Beauty alone doesn’t Hotline: * Bob Fishel – Tips for a first showing, including how to choose which photos to feature (we’re mostly travel photographers) and what methods to print on for sale (currently doing mostly metal and wood prints for our home from ProDPI, haven’t printed anything for public consumption / sale) * Nerazzuro Zelkanovic – tamron or sigma on the 24-70 new lineup? * Isaac Goff – Tripod/No tripod?

Do you want to qualify the “always use a tripod” rule? * Nick Jones – How do I know which filter to choose for what situation? Recently I shot the bean and it was low light getting toward sunset. A guy next to me used a 6 stop ND even though it was low light and his photos looked WAY better than mine.

Photo Taco: Photographic Dynamic Range | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 55:17

Jeff Harmon talks with Bill Claff about his Photographic Dynamic Range testing and math that can be seen on his photonstophotos.net website. Jeff goes over the following questions with Bill: 1) Who is Bill Claff and what do you do with photography? 2) What is the story or background of your excellent photonstophotos.net website? Why did you create it? 3)You have a lot of math and explanation behind your Photography Dynamic Range (PDR) number, can you explain that to someone who may not have as much background in math? Maybe a PDR for dummies kind of guide? 4)Is there a way to compare PDR to the Landscape score that DxOMark publishes from their testing? 5) I am a Canon shooter, currently shooting the Canon 7D2, and when I compare it to some others that are supposed to have significantly better dynamic range (7D2 11.8EV, Canon 80D 13.2EV, 5D4 13.6EV, Nikon D810 14.8EV) the difference in the PDR doesn’t seem nearly as significant as the EV rating from DxO. Why is that? How should we be looking at differences in PDR numbers on your site?
