[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Can I ask my usual stupid question, please? And thank you. Like what do you do with the loupe to look at pixels and where do you do this? On Camera screen? Or computer screen? OR? And obviously what great amount of knowledge do I gain in doing so????? Will it allow me to perform and see better as a photographer or as a techie? No offence intended, as once again I'm a photographer first and foremost and do enjoy taking pictures. But for the life of me I can not understand what all this extra stuff of loupes and looking at pixels does other than just taking up time from shooting better and more interesting photographs. Please enlighten me. Certainly if my photographic skills such as seeing and shooting abilities will be improved beyond looking at a full photograph determining whether I'm any good or not? Thank you.

Our wonderful world of photography remains so very interesting because of the wide variety of approaches. Wether: Film and/or sensors of all manner of square inches. Prints of silver, platinum, inks, pigments, dyes, cyan o and other types Images of ferns, flesh, flies, fires, freedom, folks, flukes and all. I find great pleasure in looking at photographs with a loupe, pixel peeping and standing back. ;~) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Jul 16, 2009, at 12:43 AM, Tina Manley wrote: > not convinced that photos should be examined with a loupe instead > of standing back to see what the photo is really about. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
