comment Is vector photography possible?
@AJHenderson - A raster is a set of horizontal scanning lines of values which is not a point cloud as points don't have to have a relation to one another only to the point the image is being captured from. That said, I'll grant that current implementations use raster scanning for simplicity. Relationships between vertices can be mapped out mathematically which will scale smoothly and limitations on resolution would be down to limitations of the mathematical model (how many vertices, accuracy of curvature recordings etc.)

It is possible under certain circumstances. Although it doesn't stop doing it in the first place from being a remarkably bad idea!

comment How do you choose among different 70-300mm lens for Nikon DSLRs?
I had a look for it today and I don't have it, it probably got loaned to someone with a couple of other unused pieces of kit and I won't be seeing them again for a good few months. Sorry

comment How to take a picture with subject in focus but with a circular light-trace effect around it?
@heysamhey - cool, if you get an answer from them then please do share it, it's a cool pic and has given me a couple of ideas!

+1 on the rainbow being a post production job. It looks a little bit too perfect to me too.

@heysamhey - do you have the original link to the image on the tillate site, maybe there's a way we can find the author and ask them what they did?

comment What are the pros and cons of using a watermark?
There's certainly an element of artist and audience relationship involved in weighing up if and what watermarks to apply. In fine art (and landscape artists are by as special as they'd like to believe) there is less cause to watermark as duplication of the work does not affect the artists income stream and the screen sized jpeg is not a quality match for their finished product for someone who'd be willing to pay for and appreciate the work.

comment Licensing for wedding photos, to protect photographer, but allow freedom to clients?
For me it depends on why clients want to do it... If they want a good quality archive then a client will be willing to pay for it and they'll buy prints too because the photographers job is as much about sourcing good quality print materials and suppliers to produce a final finished product. If it's just 'It's my wedding and I want it' then that's just treating photographers like itinerant tradesmen but if the photographer is happy to work that way then fair enough as even the pro's had to start somewhere.

comment How can I export 16 bit tiffs with Mac OSX' imageing engine sips?
Does sips actually ever output 16bpp with other formats? Can you take an LZW tif and convert it to Packbits and retain 16bpp for example?

comment How to simulate different focal length and sensor size on an image?
@LaurenceNyein - The question I answered was the one you posted, specifically " I have a full frame body so I like to know how the picture would look like if I have taken with a cropped frame body." I gave you two ways to directly enter the values in Photoshop as you mentioned using that (one of them not an obvious option for most users) and other existing questions such as the info posted by mattdm and matt grum outline how to work out how big the crop/box dimensions should be. If that wasn't what you wanted to know then feel free to clarify your question or post a new clearer one...

comment Recommended driverless GPS loggers?
gis.se or outdoors.se might be better placed to answer this since the lightroom part is irrelevant to how the logging/retrieval happens. If you wanted to do it in camera then it would be different. The members there will have a wealth of knowledge of the kind of GPS receiver kit to suit you.

Can do, I'll have to go dig it out as I have an 80-200 f/2.8d which is my main zoom nowadays so it won't be today.

comment Is there a reason for raw over jpeg if you have your lighting figured out?
There are lots of reasons why he should do it in the jpeg vs raw question - most in this situation can be filed as 'insurance' or image quality, your photographer feels they don't need those to get an output quality that their clients are happy with then no argument will sway them. It's a lot like telling a band they should use strobe tuners to tune their guitars rather than chromatic ones (strobes are way more accurate, but do the band need that accuracy?) - you hire them on the basis you like what they produce and let them handle the implementation.

comment What are the ideal settings to shoot Star Trails with a Nikon D90?
It does die away, but from what I've gleaned from talks presented by Nik Szymanek (a widely published and respected amateur astronomer) it seems to be better to eliminate it where possible.
