When I pick up my camera I view the world as it is, not as it should be, not as it is supposed to be, not as someone wants it to be. I look for and try to capture its beauty. Photography allows me to bring others to a spot where I have been, be it down a winding path through vibrant gardens or witnessing an incredible sunrise. If, during the process, I stir up some emotion or bring about a smile, so much the better!

"Hi Al, whether you have 3 or 9 bracketed images @ plus or minus any EV of your choice, a pixel is a pixel and it won't make any difference. I don't know what you mean by "subtle inconsistencies in HDR" - there shouldn't be…"

"Thanks, Scott, I appreciate the input!  This was an evening of very severe weather that was a little too close for comfort.  I'm looking east after the storm passed.  The clouds were breaking up to the west (behind me) allowing…"

"Thanks again, CC!  Yes, I think you're correct in that the best source to answer my questions is the magazine itself.  But, you know, sometimes it's fun to toss up a few questions here at PI and see the discussion that develops…"

CameraClicker replied to Al Whitaker's discussion HDR and magazine processing for publication
"You are welcome.  The questions you are thinking of posing to the magazine can really only be answered by the magazine.  I imagine the answers will be that they use some form of halftone process, even if they are printing with a laser, and…"

"Thanks for the come-back, CC.  I understand the nuances of HDR photography as about half of my images are HDR.  I also understand "stacking" many, many images as one does when post processing to create, for example, star…"

"Nice photo.  The houses look great. Magazines come in a number of shapes and sizes.  PhotoPlus Canon Edition has pages just under 8 inches wide and about 11 3/4 inches tall.  Your photo has a 4:3 shape so if it was printed 8 inches…"

"Hi CameraClicker ... The photo in the ad is above but re-sized to post here.  The one used in the magazine was 3998 x 3010 (about 12 meg).  The photo in the magazine was slightly larger than half page.  I've been told that when…"

"If I am following your question, to provide a file for an image 10 inches wide by however tall, at 300 ppi you would have to provide 3000 px wide by whatever.  To provide the same size image at 600 ppi, you would have to provide 6000 px wide by…"
