Forum Search for "Photo Frame edge effect"

My view on it is this: A limited camera will restrict the type of shots you can do well. If you stay within those limitations, you can produce pictures as good as any more expensive camera. A more fancy camera with a better lens will open up a wider range of shots that you can do well, and more easily. I speak from experience here - I used to use an all manual Practika MTL, and my earliest p...

Rather than tape all the way along the top edge. I find a couple of T-Hinges made from archival tape work fine.

An interesting article from Nikon on the D800, it covers much of what is debated in this thread. They also decided to mention diffraction. Stopping aperture down increases depth of field, making the foreground and background sharper. Stop aperture down too far, however, and diffraction will actually cause the image to lose definition. The effects of diffraction are partly influenced by the ...

Photofrenzy, chillax. Earlier in the thread you seemed to be doing your best to start a Canon Nikon fight Ah seems like the CANON CREW are ganging up again lol

Mirrorless is clearly significant new competition - but there is no sign yet of Nikon going into decline Well Nikon are right in there with their 1-series mirrorless which has sold better than expected, I gather, despite its sensor which is smaller than 4/3. It is only Canon who are refusing to enter the competition......... so far. Only a matter of time though! ;)

When in Kefalonia earlier this year our waiter was an extremely nice young Albanian lad who was fluent in Albanian, Greek & English (although he insisted his english was not good!). When we asked his name we were told by him "My name is Soni, actually it is a pseudonym for Sonimib...(the actual name I cannot remember!).That means it is my short or other name!" An Albanian in Greece telling us...

Thanks Guys - appreciated. Dan

I use the same method with mounted prints and it does the job as you describe Peter. However, in my experience, without a mount to keep the print flat (ie: when I frame without glass there is no mount) the print needs bonding to the backboard to keep it firmly in place. Likewise with an "invisible" mount inside the frame recess.

Lol obviously i would love it :D and maybe one day if i ever get lucky to see a second hand one at around the 2500 mark :). Probably dreaming a lot though.

He wasn't trespassing was he? Cos I don't think anyone asked him to leave.

Back in the film days the average consumer hadn't been bitten by the photography bug as we have been today. When Nikon releases that camera on the market, I'll wager there will be unprecedented demand for it from non-professionals, and Epz members.;)

Looking at the wide open image. Yes it is soft. However there is a lot of detail in it and I would expect it to respond nicely to a bit of extra sharpening. If this is what this lens can produce at 1.4 I for one would buy it. The only reason I haven't is I can't decide whether to go full frame or remain with the crop format so crop only lens purchases are on hold. cheers Al.

By jove - I think I've got it! Thanks for all the ideas - I've settled for a 3 pixel 'stroke' round the edge and then cropping outwards from there to obtain the borders. And I love it - just hope that I don't get carried away but I do think they 'finish' the picture nicely..... Thanks again Noel

Your prompt replies are much appreciated so I'm off to try them. Thanks to you both Carole

Just to let everyone know i have bought a brand new 24-105 f4. I hope it works ok. If you found the 24-70 unsatisfactory, James, I'm betting you'll find the 24-105 even less pleasing! ;) We look forward to having your feedback.................
