And I can't agree, what about architecture?If the only criteria is that it be aesthetically pleasing then no I don't think it's art.

The Sydney Opera House is certainly a piece of art but it's also an opera house, or isn't it art?
And what about the photos I show in this topic, those are also made to bring over a message so aren't they art either?
I'm sure all art is made with a second thought besides that it must look pretty.

the effect does look special, seems like it boost clarity and vibrant and something more
Would like to see the originals as well if you've the time

I like the two middle ones, the sky is so blue and it's a nice contrast with the white snow.

My grandpa is in the hospital this week an I haven't been able to put my mind at ease so yeah I wander the internet then and I thought I might do something useful then
It's sometime so strange some shots gets no comment at all how good they might be.
There are some other great shots in the past but they member hasn't come online recently so didn't comment on them.

ISO range 25 - 400 ? ? ?
That's quite a normal range for MF cameras the 100-1600 from the 645D is quite unusual besides the one that also use that sensor like the Hasselblad H4D40.ISO range 25 - 400 ? ? ?
And there are some that use binning to get higher sensitivity with the lost of resolution.

(But would prefer a H4D-40:wink
Just out of interest, the 645D has the same sensor so image quality should not differ much... are you then still willing to pay twice as much for the H4D-40 as for the 645D?(But would prefer a H4D-40:wink

Tim I already shared your view in my first comment here.
something that's made by someone to be aestheticly pleasing.
Since no non commented I thought I was wrong
There is of course also talent which Thoramay and the eye for things, that's something hard to train. That's why some artists excel over others and why some are better in math and the other in language.

With reconcile you mean compare right Barrie?I agree totally about the skill, and here I'm with you that I'm no art expert. But if it is just skill how do you reconcile a Constable or Tuner with a Munch or Van Gogh

Chrome VS Opera VS FireFox VS Safari VS Internet Explorer
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/firefox-chrome-opera,2558.html
Start up times
now don't say that there isn't a difference
And about render times read the full article, it's more I wont to copy
Here are the winners though in each test.
Category / Test Overall Winner
Startup Times / Opera
Memory Usage / Firefox
Page Load Times / Firefox
HTML / Safari
CSS / Safari
Tables / Safari
JavaScript / Chrome
PeaceKeeper / Opera
Acid3 / Chrome
DOM / Chrome
Flash / Opera
Java / Opera
SilverLight / Firefox - Internet Explorer
The strangest thing is that I ate least don't find Safari to run so pleasantly on my computer, I'm sure it would run nicely on OSX but on windows?

Once again stunning macro, that no one commented on them
Comment by Anvh posted on Macro 'Arabella' at 11/03/2010 - 01:01
Who stunning shots, very nice!
The first one is a bit weird, it almost look like the man is a ghost or something
now the second shot is very well done while playing with the lines and adding some contrast with the round ball, very well spotted and taken this shot.
Now the third is the same as the first, a bit weird but I like the faceless faces since when we are we just don't notice them.

Ahhhhh, that's great for startup times... but I don't start up my browser continuously whilst browsing . Is there a chart for page rendering time?
Also, FF tends to depend on addons/scripts/widgets; mine is slow and crashes or freezes several times a day because of those. Not FF's fault, but it's the only reason I use FF.
Most of the time they run a test/render 5 times and took the average.
But you might leave an question mark with some tests.
They tested a clean install so no addons/scripts/widgets/plug-ins.
besides Silverlight, Flash and Java of course.
Ditto here Nass. I use around 5 plugins with firefox, and my launch times are considerably slower than 4 seconds. And it uses a ton of memory, which makes switching to another app a lot slower when running under heavy load.
Most of the time I simply install Opera when I help someone with their computer it's simply one install and it runs great out of the box most of the time, although I might need to give Chrome a better look, it does seem it's a good browser as well.
