  1. <p>Can somebody explain to me how can I calculate the equivalent megapixel count of cameras with different aspect ratios?<br> <br />If I have a 60 megapixel camera with a 4:3 ratio, since I have to crop it to get a 3:2 aspect ratio, how many megapixels does the 3:2 camera have?</p>
  2. <p>I would like to ask you some questions about “the Leica look”.</p> <p>1. What is it? What are it characteristics? Where can I see it? Are there any books or Web sites with the photos having the look? Who are some photographers who are the masters of the look? When did the look originate?<br> <br />2. Do the Leica-branded Panasonic cameras have the look? Is the sensor Panasonic's? Is the look the look from a Panasonic compact camera?</p> <p>3. Will the Leica ever again produce another CCD M camera? Are there people who think that the CMOS M photos look the same or better than the CCD M photos?</p>
  3. <p>Have you ever carried step ladders with or or do you known of anyone who did and who does or any famous photographers who do it?</p> <p>http://6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/27/the-power-of-the-8-by-10-film-camera/</p>
  4. <p>How did Ansel Adams capture one his most famous images, <em>Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico</em>?</p> <p>What I would like to know:</p> <p>OK, they drove around the American West, found themselves in the New Mexican desert, Adams suddenly saw something he had to photograph, they frantically got out, pulled the equipment, not having a meter, he perfectly chose the perfect exposure.</p> <p>But how did he do it? Digging up a bit about this, I find two accounts. He had a <em>Weston Master</em> meter and the meter metered the Moon and the distant peaks on where<em> A</em> lay on that meter's scale. I wish I had a picture of that meter to understand what that meant. The foreground was on <em>U</em>.</p> <p>The other account states that Ansel Adams knew the luminance of the moon, 250 candles per square feet, which is around 2700 lux in SI units, put the Moon in Zone VII and voilà!<br /><br /> One retelling of that tale states that what Ansel knew about the Moon was actually a version of the “ƒ/16 rule”. Does anyone know the precise formulation of that rule as applied to the Moon?<br /><br /> <br /> So how did Ansel convert <em>A </em>and <em>U</em> / 250 footcandles in exposure settings, especially how did he place the 250 footcandles using something known as <em>Exposure Formula</em> into Zone VII?<br /><br /> <br /> What type of (8 × 10) in. camera did he use?<br /><br /> <br /> In the technical information about the development, I found this:</p> <blockquote> <p><br /> … dilute D-23 and ten developer to water sequences.</p> </blockquote> <p><br /> What does “dilute ten developer to water sequences” mean? </p>
