How to correct exposure locally with Apple Aperture? I dislike this answer because there are in fact several simple ways to get this effect, see the other answers. It's fine to note that Lightroom can do this also but it is misleading to claim that Aperture cannot. |

Why invest in high end large- and medium-format digital cameras? There are smaller sensors that produce great micro-contrast. The Foveon sensor produces excellent micro-contrast in images, which has been a consistent point in many reviews of cameras like the Sigma DP-3M. |

What advantages does 35mm film have over high-end digital? That's all true but only matters if you need to shoot wide open frequently (or need the narrowest possible depth of field). If you are talking just about the need for better shutter speeds modern digital cameras produce better results at high ISO than film does, which negates the need for full frame again. |

What advantages does 35mm film have over high-end digital? You can also have the same range of effect from some digital cameras shooting IR. In the Sigma SD-1M camera, the hot mirror is just behind the lens and removable for easy IR shooting. |

What advantages does 35mm film have over high-end digital? @Blrfl : Your argument makes even more economic sense when you consider how much someone could save merely by trailing the camera market by a year or so and buying used gear. You are exactly right that sensors are equivalent to buying film, they just happen to also be attached to a body. |

What advantages does 35mm film have over high-end digital? Negatives get dust too. And scratches. And they degrade. If you have dust on a sensor chances are you will be cloning the same spots across a series of many images, making the process much quicker than cleaning dust from scanned negatives where dust differs in every shot. |

What advantages does 35mm film have over high-end digital? At this point you no longer need a full-frame digital camera to match the quality of 35mm film, 1.5x to 1.3x crop cameras are not that much different in terms of DOF you can get. |

Why is a physical anti-aliasing filter still needed on modern DSLRs? And all of those cameras show color moire at times. |

Galapagos vacation — what photo gear should I take? I would recommend a light tripod if possible, basically anything you can travel with pretty easily... I used a Manfrotto 3021, which was actually rather large and heavy (it's an aluminum tripod) so something smaller and lighter would be great. The height was nice though. |
