  1. Please stick to 1/3 etc. It means – exactly – one divided by 3. This is impossible to replicate exactly by a decimal fraction however menny decimal places you take it to. 0.6 etc are not only inaccurate, they are confusing.

    Doug,

    Thanks for the input. I am hesitant to change – it is clearer to me but some have recommended the .33 or .67 usage because that is how some cameras display the fractions. Right now I’m with you and keeping the 1/3 & 2/3 format.

  3. Hi Bob,

    I purchased the PDF version of the book about a month ago, but I didn’t receive an email with the new version 2.2 attached.

    Can you send it to me?

    Thanks!

    Ralph,

    Sorry for the delay in sending out the new edition. I’m just trying to feed the email database into a bulk mailing software (MailChimp)… It should only be a few more days at the most.

    Jesper,

    Sorry for the delay in sending out the new edition. Between the holidays and a death in the family, time just slipped away. I’m back now and ready to get back in the race. I’m just trying to feed the email database into a bulk mailing software (MailChimp)… It should only be a few more days at the most.

    Jasper,

    Yes, It is done! You should be receiving an email with the new version 2.2 attached.

    The biggest change is the “most requested”… the PDF eBook now “Printable”.

    Besides the “Errata” fixes and subtle re-referencing the “White Card” to “White Target”, I’ve added a few more items to the Appendix (Hints for printing the PDF book efficiently; adding instructions for the OneZone/Lightroom “Develop Presets” and “Library Filters”.)

    A list of the updates can be found on the site “http://onezone.photos/thebook/

  6. Please use 0.33 and 0.67 for fractions. They clearly indicate 1/3 and 2/3 respectively. Rounding off to 0.3 and 0.6 is confusing, especially 0.6 which indicates 3/5. Source: I’m an engineer. 🙂

    Richard,

    I put it in my notes… I agree but I’m not sure about the 0.6 or 0.66 or 0.67.

    Will give us some thoughts but I do agree on the clarity issue.

    Thanks

  7. After posting my comments, formatting left justified the ^ character. I had placed one under “stops” on the right, and the other under “times.” I believe “stops” should be “exposures,” and “times” should either be “/” or “divided by.” Also, I would suggest changing the fraction notation for “1/3” to “1\3” so that it’s not confused with the “/” symbol. The “\” symbol is best used with fractions, while the “/” is used to denote division.

    Ralph,

    Thanks again. You are not the only one who mentioned this. I am thinking of changing the fractions – e.g. 1/3 to .3 and 2/3 to .6

  8. Pages 57 & 58
    Current errata entry
    “(# of stops = # of exposures/3)” -> “(# of stops = # of 1/3 stops times 3)”
    ^ ^
    [^ indicates where correction is needed]

    Shouldn’t this be as follows:
    “(# of stops = # of exposures/3)” -> “(# of stops = # of 1/3 exposures/3)

    Ralph,

    Right you are… It is noted on “the book page” click here under the errata section.

    If you notice anything else please let me know.

    Thanks for the support,
