Lori and Matt,
Another wonderful show guys,
I have a quick question about Crop vs Magnification. I have a 40D with a 1.6 crop factor, does that mean a 50mm image is cropped to look like a 80mm or the 50mm has zoomed to 80mm?

Hi Lori and Matt, question from a new dslr owner. I recently purchased canon xsi with EF 50mm f/1.4 lens. I've noticed that the depth of field I see in the viewfinder seems to be deeper than the resultant images I get. I thought one of the advantages of slr is that you are actually seeing through the lens and hence seeing the images as it will be captured. What am I missing here? I usually shoot with the lens wide open so I don't think it's an issue of not using the dof preview button. Thanks.

Senior Editor Lori Grunin has been covering digital imaging for two decades, but her memory's kind of sketchy on the details. You can hear about it every week on Indecent Exposure, the podcast she co-hosts with Matt Fitzgerald.

Lori Grunin has been an avid photographer for almost 30 years, and spent the past 15 attempting to master every aspect of technology.
Matt Fitzgerald has been involved with digital camera technology and the photo industry for more than 15 years. Matthew's background includes work as a professional photographer, a technical representative, and a repair technician.

This week I was so eager to listen to your show that I haven't waited to show in iTunes feed, I've listened it from the blog.
Here is my submission for this week show:

I'll be missing you this three weeks.
I hope three Photos are not to much. I couldn't decide.

(BTW, the eye has not been photoshoped. It had an infection when we first got her. The next photo is of her when she was little.)

Happy Holidays and keep up the good work.
I don't think is a rule carved in stone but you should pick one of your photos as your submission, everybody else did the same in the past contests.
Ask your relatives what they think is the keeper, photographs are they own worst critics, like Lori would say.
You can reply and write "this is my submission" followed by a link.
I'm redoing my submission and cutting it back to two.

He loved to play in the snow and that is where I have the most pictures of him. This one has nice balance:

And since Lori doesn't like people dressing up their dogs, I won't link to any of the pictures of the bumblebee costume I made him wear every Christmas.
Thanks for mentioning the post I wrote on SeriousCompacts.com. I'd like to clarify that the point of the blog post was that Adobe's DNG converter is baking the distortion correct (and possibly other changes like color fringing correction) into DNGs made from G1, FZ28, and LX3 files.
IMO, this is a slippery slope that makes DNG a poor choice as an archival format, which is one of its reasons to exist. Hence the "somewhat inflammatory" (as Lori put it) post title of "Case Against DNG".
Thanks again, happy holidays, and keep up the great work on the podcast!

I'm a listener since show #19, when I found your podcast.
Here is my submission for these weeks contest:
http://ahscapes.deviantart.com/art/Manu-96917919
That's my hamster. As he was too active I lured him into the box putting some food on the bottom.
When he came up looking for more I took some shots. That box is from Colombian coca leaf tea that my girlfriend offered me, and I loved it because looks like a small wooden crate.
Shot on top of my bed with natural light from my bedroom window.
Hope you like it.
This is Bruno

He is the newest member of our gang. We adopted this beautiful white boxer a few weeks ago. It seems someone abandoned him near our house and he just sat in front of our gate for 2 weeks. He was so beat up and starved that he just broke our hearts. We took him in, gave him many baths, delicious meals, a home and love. He is so grateful and charming! I took this one as he rested from having a meal. Hope you like it.
