as from highlight saturation (255) to Signal-to-Noise Ratio of 1:1.

The D600 has a 14-bit sensor. Highlight saturation is 16383, not 255.

Where they're getting 14 stop range is simply using the full 14-bit sensor range, so 2^14 is 14 stops by definition. Within that range you have 16,384 discrete steps, from 0 to 16,383.

Whether each step is useably distinct from its neighbors is debatable.

For example, going from 1 to 2 is one full stop, and no intermediate values are possible.
Going from 8192 to 16383 is one stop, with over 8000 possible intermediate values.

This is one of the oddities of digital imaging. The steps are not uniform like they are with film.
Digital technology tends to work very well on highlights, less so on dark tones.

Firefox on a Mac.

I'll have to play with this to see what works, I guess.

Thanks for the input.

Ok, it looks fine on Safari but goofy on Firefox. It's a browser thing. I'll put everything in sRGB next time and see what happens.

Ah yes, a binary progression that makes sense.

Now for something completely different...
Some awkward portraits of band members that I took at a shoot a few days ago. They were throwing out all kinds of strange ideas - they are an odd group but I was happy to oblige. Since Facebook is the biggest marketing tool available right now I put this in the proper proportions for a "cover photo" (if you use FB...you know what I'm talking about). Anyway - Nikon D800E, 35mm f/1.4 AI, flash, on a ladder:

1/2s, highlights pulled in PP. Grain and blurring are intentional - i am building up project shot in that style.

Awesome Sergei.

Grab shot of one of my best friends' son, sitting at the organ while his father plays bass in the background. Snapped with a 50mm f/1.4 on my Nikon SP rangefinder on Tri-X stand-developed in Rodinal:

This is awesome!
