What is the statistical distribution of sensor noise? Which noise reduction algorithms are you talking about? I know that Non-Local Means (Buades, 2004), Total Variation (ROF, 98), and anisotropic diffusion (perona and malik) don't. Or are there some commercial packages that don't have published algorithm's that you're talking about? |

What is the 'Diagonal Method' and should I use it instead of 'The Rule of Thirds?' @labnut-- that paper saddens me. The idea of using a computationally derived formula for composition as a foundation of judging the 'goodness' of a photo smacks a bit too much of serious conformity. I guess they haven't gotten around to thinking about composition as a means of telling a story, as can be evidenced by the top of figure 7. To me, (a) tells a story of a lonely ship, while (c), their preferred image, is a bit more intimate and immediate to the crew. I'm glad I'm still allowed to say 'to each their own.' |

Good economy photo printer for 200+ people/night, low operating costs If ink is the major cost here, is it possible to go into the pro lines? SOmething where the printer is on the order of $3k or the like, but ink lasts (comparatively) forever? |

Should I shoot underexposed photos? ETTR = Expose to the right, basically increasing the number of photons coming in, for the exact opposite reason that @duality_'s mentor suggested. It's easier to get back detail from highlights in a digital image than from noise in the background of a black image. See luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/expose-right.shtml |

What printer should I get to replace an epson r800? @mattdm, I have indeed already gone with a decision, the canon 9500 mark II. It is a very specialized question, so if you can suggest a more generalized title, I'm all for it. But that list of requirements isn't so specialized, I think. I'd say that those are really the minimum for any photo printer. |

TV show wants to use a photograph — what should I charge? I'll ge the ball rolling with some maybe-not-pertinent questions. What kind of show is it, meaning what's their likely budget for this kind of thing? They're probably hoping to get away with something like $5, but if the show has 5 million viewers a week, they could probably part with more. |

Is the smaller mass and bulk of Micro Four Thirds gear vs. APS-C DSLRs meaningful? Am I right in assuming you mean the size difference of the gear itself? It seems that these initial answers assume you're talking about sensor size, not lugging-around weight. |

Really? Why does a Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 cost almost $2,000? Sure, the design is different-- but will the final results be that much different? Like I said, I'll wait until I see the reviews. So maybe the better comparison is with the Zeiss 35mm f/2? Sure, they're not considered to be in the same league (everyone loves a Zeiss!) but again, how much does the name cost? |

Alternative media for printing photos Is it bad that I immediately thought 'alternative media' instead of 'mediums'? Maybe too much Latin in high school... |

How do I reduce noise, given that I have complete control over everything else? Glad it can be of use to you. I figured it out when taking my own crystal photos. |
