Visible difference

[Hsg]

Photography is ultimately tied to visual aesthetics. If everything was photogenic, if every photograph was 'good', there wouldn't be any need for photographers.

Editing photographs are due to shooting style. Some people shoot very few and treat each one as a 'keeper', some shoot a lot and pick from that pile. I can't say one is right or wrong. I edit because I shoot a lot.

You still have to put some value on it or why share it? Why pick A over B? It's all valueless. And is it a good idea to let others define what has value to you?

As much as I enjoy this 'interview', I think we should get back to the topic.

900x600 is about 0.5MP. It is unlikely that you could distinguish a 1MP and 10MP camera based on images of that size, unless the respective cameras have issues other than resolving power.

... maybe, but I'm looking for a new monitor at the moment and that doesn't seem to be the case ... I read somewhere that the human eye was poor in that area too.

This is perception, it's different

In response to "Why print?" generally addressed above around post 18 - I enjoy making prints and sending them as post cards to relatives and friends. This may seem a small thing but it adds to the enjoyment of photography for myself. A small message, like hello, and the price of a stamp and something arrives that does not require electrical power to view.

Back to the original topic - I think the internet is the reason that things like "bokeh" and other subjective qualities have become popular topics. An average web-sized jpeg is not going to be much use for looking at the relative sharpness of different lenses, on the other hand more general qualities like boke' and distortion, CA, etc. will still be usefully apparent even online.
