Then Delilah pouted, “How can you say you love me when you don’t confide in me?” —Judges 16:15
Some people are in debt. Others are on drugs. I—well—I like reality television. [We all have our vices. Put away your stones!]
Stumbling in at 9:00pm on Friday night from work, I clicked on the television to discover a spin-off reality show from the hit series, The Bachelor. The show is a weird hybrid of Survivor, The Bachelor, and Days of Our Lives in 47 minutes of prime time trash [and if I say it’s trash, you know it’s bad].
Note: If you think this post is about bashing reality television, you’re wrong. I love my Project Runway and all things Klum.
In a prototypical protrayal of women, a conniving female [think of a blend of Jezebel and Delilah reincarnate] manipulates a man to lie and tell other competitors he’s in love with her. Through tears and emotional arm tugs, she confesses her love for him [gross on so many levels] and manipulates him for immunity in exchange for affection, attention, and a loyalty to her.
Note: Here’s where I yell at my television screen and air-slap all stupid men.
Since the book of Judges, Delilah-esque women have been twirling proverbial locks of hair around their twisted fingers in attempts to manipulate their way to the top.
Manipulation is using entrusted knowledge of personal fears or weaknesses for personal gain. Manipulators will use all kinds of indirect tactics ranging from guilt trips to portraying themselves as innocent, suffering victims of various circumstances.
Note: When you meet a person like this, run in the opposite direction. You’re welcome.
All this got me thinking about modern manipulation and how we use it without even being aware we do. I’m afraid to ask Matthew if I’ve manipulated him recently. I’m planning a wedding, so I think I might know the answer 😉 Please don’t leave me under the bus… I’m I the only Delilah out there?
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to TiVo Project Runway.
Auf Wiedersehen,

And so it’s very useful to understand what raw headroom is and how you can make use of it to get the maximum out of your images. We regularly receive questions regarding this particular section of our reviews via our feedback system and in the forums, so I thought it would be a good idea to provide some detail about the dpreview approach to raw headroom in a blog article. This isn’t a deeply technical post; it’s more of a primer on what we do, and why you need to know about the dynamic range hidden away in your raw files.

As I sat working my way through my emails this morning it occurred to me that it might be worth posting a quick note about the best way to contact us here at dpreview, what’s likely to get you a reply and what happens when you send feedback.
My favourite of late, however, must be the press release that suggesting that the camera it was pushing included a mode that can create: “a sense of déjà vu.” Which sounds lovely, unless you make the mistake of thinking about it too hard. I suspect that, if you take photos for yourself, then you’re probably doing so to preserve memories, in which case the sensation of having experienced the scene before should really come as standard; and those who’re taking photos to show or sell to other people probably aren’t hoping for the response: “I’ve already seen this.”
