I work for Red Hat on the Fedora Linux distribution. Before that, I was a sysadmin in the Academic Computing group at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Photography is a hobby, and my main goal is simply documentation of my family life.
If you're a Pentax user, you may be interested in my definitive guide to Pentax hot shoe flashes and compatible 3rd-party options.
(Huh, what? See What is the "Exposure Triangle?".)

How much versatility does a 85 mm lens have? Although this isn't really camera-specific, it's important to clarify whether you mean 85mm on an APS-C camera or on some other format (full-frame, Nikon 1, etc)., because the field of view will be different. |

How was this image with red seats on a black and white background created? Yeah, I see the selective coloring, but... clean, cold, bright, sterile vs. gritty, warm, dramatic lighting, human model. |

How was this image with red seats on a black and white background created? I think the fact that you find that other image to be very similar underscores my point about different people seeing different things in photographs! |

How to get a vintage/dreamy look? @erotsppa: We're working in additive color channels (RGB) instead of mixing pigment, so yellow is a mix of green and red. That means that either boosting those channels or pulling down the blue channel will introduce a yellow cast. I like to use Curves for finer control than Levels, but either will work. You could also add a partially-transparent layer with the shade of yellow you want, or use a vintage-toning special-effects filter |

How to get a vintage/dreamy look? @MichaelClark Yeah, definitely. And the corners aren't even, which they probably would be with an artificial filter. |
