The digital darkroom has provided photographers and photo editors with extremely powerful tools to make many photos better than would have been possible, or at least practicable, thirty years ago.

re: Auto loan rates
Posted by NOLATiger163 on 10/20/24 at 10:16 pm
Often with new cars, the manufacturer's credit subsidiary offers better rates than anywhere else, as an incentive to buy the car. E.g. not too long ago Honda was offering like 4.99% for 2025s and 3.99% for 2024s. Now if you have bad credit and want to finance for 96 months ......

As vehicle stickers go, it’s definitely better than “Salt Life” or “30A”. It’s not annoying like, ‘My kid is an Honor Student at Charles Manson School for the Criminally Insane”.
But what could be more couillon that misspelling “coui...

Wow, where to begin on this?!
He's not a professor, he's an instructor. That pretty much means he is not tenured, and they can and will drop him, or at least not renew his contract, at the first sign of him being a headache. So unless some upper administrator wants to make a special effort to pro...

re: Question about DSLR cameras and a thread
Posted by NOLATiger163 on 9/23/24 at 5:21 pm
In pretty much every way, many (not all!) mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILCs) have surpassed single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs). If you want to buy a new 'serious' (i.e., not a point-and-shoot for social snapshots) digital camera today, a MILC is pretty clearly the way to go. Decent kits ...
