I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology in May 2011. I currently work for UTC Aerospace Systems in Massachusetts. My full CV is available on StackOverflow Careers and LinkedIn.
My professional interests include software project management, software engineering process, software measurements and metrics, leadership, and professionalism in software engineering. I'm also a casual student of psychology and sociology, especially as they apply to a business context. Personally, I have taken up photography as a hobby. I'm also a casual gamer.

Is there a reason to keep both a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G and a 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G lens for my Nikon D5100? That's a fixed-focal length lens. Not comparable. |

How can I force my D5100's shutter to stay open? Ah. I wouldn't have ever associated "bulb mode" with this functionality. It works perfectly! |

Does the Nikon D5100 have a mode or the ability to create a mode to support an effect similar to black and white film photography? Will do. I did find a few methods of changing the picture mode, the quickest requires about four button presses, but I'll consult the manual to see if there's a quicker way. I'm not sure how needed it is, though - I don't see myself changing shooting modes between shots that often. Thanks for the information. |

Does the Nikon D5100 have a mode or the ability to create a mode to support an effect similar to black and white film photography? Is there an easy way to jump into Monochrome shooting mode? It seems weird to have to go into the Picture Control menu to jump between Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, Landscape... |

How can I tell if two pictures were taken with the same camera? @Flimzy It has nothing to do with dirty or scratched lenses or blurry images. Everything occurs on the sensor-level. There are environmental factors which do cause differences in the noise pattern, which is why you need a fairly large data set to get the noise that's consistant across images. But you can have the most blurry, scratched, dirty lenses and still identify the camera, as long as the same sensors were used. |
