    here's my fun fact. the electrons from an image sensor pixels are NOT the ones that are recorded to make the image.

    My fun fact, well actually it's not much fun for people who weren't aware of it, is that posting images online is effectively giving them away for free for others to download and do what they like with them.

    As a side note, I posted numerous times on dpreview and the same applies here, people are free to download any of my images I post here and do what they like with them.

    The noise to signal ratio in here is awful.

    Nome, Alaska averages 76 inches of snow a year. Flagstaff, Arizona averages 87 inches. Thus far during the 2022-23 winter season, we've gotten 163 inches (4+ meters) of the white stuff. That's 5th all-time in Flagstaff annals and there's still time for more.

    * exposure - amount of light that struck the sensor per unit area while the shutter was open
    ** optimal exposure - the maximum exposure* within dof and motion blur requirements without clipping important highlights.
    *** under exposed - more exposure* could have been added with the DOF and blur constraints still being met without clipping important highlights.

    And I am leaving dprevived ๐Ÿ˜Š
