How and why do you use an image histogram? The main reason ETTR is a hotly debated topic is that it really shouldn't be practiced until you can't go any less sensitive. When you're at ISO 200, exposing at +1 EV should be no more effective than shooting at +0 EV at ISO 100, in theory. In practice, camera technology and ISO performance characteristics play a role in skewing the results of this theoretical basis. |

What kind of photography is still better done with film cameras? P.S. I will add the cost of memory cards though helps even things out a bit. |

What kind of photography is still better done with film cameras? 66 rolls or 3 batteries though :) Then you also have 66 rolls to get developed (and buy in the first place), which will always cost something, manual or through a lab. I've got nothing against film, I'm just saying film's lack of electricity requirement is replaced with it's own set of costs. |

Is there an easy way to convert all my photos from .NEF to .JPG for upload to Facebook? DPI is irrelevant when creating JPEG's destined for monitors and other displays (i.e. from Facebook in a browser). |

Is there any significant difference between Nikon and Canon? Every recent Canon DSLR has 3-shot auto-exposure bracketing. hdr-photography.com/aeb.html |

Is it better to scan negatives or prints? Tidied up wording and repeated statements. Added comparison to digital. |

Why are my 14-bit RAW files being saved as 8-bit on my computer? I'm not sure how this possible. If you shoot raw, your files should be 14-bit .CR2 files. How do you know they're 8-bit? What software are you using them in? If they're 8-bit, then they're likely JPEGs. |

When do you center your subject in environmental portraits? For me, I tend to view the desirable composition of a photo like the example given to be on a see saw. If the subject is on either side, it's at rest. If the subject is in the center, it could go either direction and has the potential to feel like you're not stable. Maybe tension isn't the right word, maybe 'dynamic'. That's probably the best analogy I can think of for my own point of view. |

What camera should a student buy to transition into professional work? Every DSLR does in-camera JPEG processing. It's usually set to JPEG by default. You can, however shoot RAW+JPEG. |
