I think this is probably the most important lesson to learn in taking good pictures - no matter what the subject is.
Learning to see the light

Oh great. I'm tone deaf and value blind. Wonderful!
That looks like a really good article -- understandable and readable. I will go back later and study it more in depth later. |

DPC photo scores could be improved significantly if all participants read this and learned from it.

Superb article! It appears that most submissions to DPChallenges are
technically competent photographs, and even newbies produce some
remarkable pictures occasionally. But the photos that consistantly take
honors are those that have something special, a unique composition or a
subject viewed in a 'new light'. The difference is artistry, usually
gained through long experience and sometimes through serendipity. Art
is a matter of taste and preference, to wit, I can almost never 'select to
win' a submitted image that even places in these challenges, though I
always appreciate the quality of those that do win. That is where useful
commentary is especially valuable, to let an entrant know that his entry
is a 'winner' at least to some. |

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it, Gordon.
Just one question. I've read many times (and experienced it in my own shots) that digital has a range of about 5 stops, not 3. What are other opinions on this? |

I have heard the "5 stops" thing as well. Interestingly enough, Canon USA's Director/Technical Information says in this post that the sensor of the 1D Mark II will have a dynamic range of approximately 9 stops (based on a linear conversion of RAW data). He also said in a later post that "the effective dynamic range when images are processed to a standard tone curve may be less than the total dynamic range of the sensor itself." Still, pretty impressive. |

I wondered at that as I read the article, but didn't really think it had much to do at all with the content ;)
