Re: [OM] Adobe bringing Gigapixel type function to ACR and then LR

[Jim Nichols]

My photo adventures have slowed down a lot in the past couple of years, 
with the pandemic plus some skin cancer problems.  I'll also be 91 in 
less than a month.  I've received my second vaccination, and my skin 
grafts are healing, so I hope to get out more when the weather warms up. 
My philosophy is sort of like Ken's, staying behind the cutting edge in 
new gear, frequently buying used.  The newest body I have is an Oly 
E-M1, because the price was right, and I could adapt my older lenses. I 
use a combination of  Fuji and Oly bodies and swap lenses among them as 
the mood strikes me.
As to ISO capability, I try to keep the E-1 to 400 and below.  The newer 
cameras seem much more happy to go to higher settings.
I spend a lot of time shooting butterflies and other insects in warm 
weather.  It's about time to trim back the Buddleia bush.
