Are there any other sensor options for Ricoh? With the exception of Panasonic and Canon, do all the other manufacturers use Sony?

Could be too late but

You can migrate as many 'large size' photos as you like. I think there's an 15GB limit when it comes to 'Original' size photos, including any other files you have stored on Google Drive etc...

Lol there's no need to go to the extent of showing locations down to street address / postcode level.

He did specifically talk about 'sharing images on the internet' though. Making them private kind of defeats the object. You can make them non-downloadable which is kind of a deterrent against image theft (but determined thieves could do a screen-grab I suppose)...

Everywhere I go I seem to come across wedding/portrait photography studios set up in shops on the edge of the town centre. I can't imagine these are all just vanity projects subsidised by the other partner's income, although I can imagine it's a difficult business to keep going. You could say the same of a lot of trades these days though.

Perhaps if your income comes from selling large prints or licensing high-res copies of your work, you aren't going to sweat about web-sized images, which are useless for these purposes. Your images are going to sell on their beauty, so ruining them with a watermark is probably not going to help you sell them.

Gary's sort of photography is more content oriented and suitable for magazines and online blogs. Therefore a web sized image is probably OK for his target market, so makes perfect sense to watermark the images in that case (especially since the watermark leads the person finding the image online back to his website where there are contact details etc).

Nice comparison of focal length! I was going to go out and do a similar test using one of my own lenses in response to another thread, but you've saved me the bother. I've played with the images to show how they affect the angle of view below, I do hope you don't mind (PM if you do).

Looks delicious (and pretty healthy).

In this sketch all the box corners are square even though they don't look it. If you were to zoom in the angles would change until it's obvious that they are square.
What would happen if you rotated the camera?

You can get help on specific issues right here on the forum too, Louise. You don't need to know how everything works in Photoshop to be able to use it effectively; e.g. you might just tweak the levels a bit and crop, and perhaps a bit of sharpening.
