That is a different issue altogether. WTF does digital noise have to do with photogenicity? Is there an absolute tolerance level, Or a relative one that depends upon the image. It always depends on the image, and the way it was shot, from lens, environment, subject, and the totality of exposure settings. I would not have the same expectations of a 56mm f/1.2 shot wide open for a portrait, as I would for a 16mm landscape at f/8-f/11, a 200mm f/6.3 action sport shot, or a 23mm f/5 candid street shot. Each will have a particular character, none of which should be wholely dependant on post. Ultimately, there are going to be good photographs, bad photographs, great photographs, and downright awful photographs which should be considered for rejection. However, I always seem to retain some of my very worst shots in the hope that one day I might be able to wring something viewable out of them. In the area North of Albany I have always enjoyed Corinth, Lake Luzerne, and Lake George. There is always something fascinating to find in the Mohawk Valley mill towns if you head up the ThruWay, or Rte 5 (a better scenic drive without tolls) from Albany. I haven’t been in the Albany/Saratoga Springs area, other than driving through, since 1974, and I am sure that much has changed. The last time I visited Upstate was in 2005, and then it was to visit family in Syracuse and Utica. Once family obligations were met we were able to take a scenic drive through the Adirondacks with overnight stops in Old Forge, and Lake Placid. Then across Lake Champlain to Burlington, VT, and back to NYC. That was a tough trip as my wife was not doing well and was mobility restricted to her wheelchair. It is time I made another trip back East. -- Regards, Savageduck |

PeterN: Sadly, the use of exaggerations is becoming politically correct. I spent my working life taking words for their literal meaning, and see no reason to change. And I spent my working life as a linguist, where literal translations were apt to be laughable. I translated /meanings/ . When you are translating between two cultures, the meaning of the words must be resolved. When an issue arises between two from the same culture, the standard is that he mean what he said, when he said it, otherwise he would not have said it. If an Eastern European woman is accused of stealing a chicken says: "II stole a chicken?" That statement is not exactly a confession. -- PeterN |
