  • I get the idea you are trolling because you do this a lot. But if you are not, you make mention of having a website that is "Spectacularly Unsuccessful". So what you have displayed is what is...
  • Because I care about what happens to the future of what has been more than just a career for me and I figure that once and awhile, out of literally thousands of posts that are not this, folks like...
  • You just made me realize something...in most cases, this will not happen on the internet. The reason being is that no one is face to face...and I think that to at least establish an honest rapport,...
  • Once and awhile I come on here to look for info, but that is about it. In this case, I was looking for info on the 50mm Summilux version 2 to see if it jives with other opinions. I did not find...
  • I sometimes use my Hero 3 black to get remote stills for some corporate work. Now, understand that these still have limited usability in terms of what one might customarily expect...think earlier...

  • As much as it sucks to acknowledge it, in terms of art directors, editors and other entities who might otherwise pay for a photo, this IS how they view amateur and some professional works placed on...
  • Commented on Celebrities who love photography news story

    These are fun, but...

    I have access to similar subjects in political arenas in some of my corporate work and one exercise I always employ in editing is to think of the image as if it were a bit...

  • I don't think it is dying out but it is more competitive. How is your work, is it better than 80% of the market you serve? Not everyone who *thinks* they have the talent and drive to succeed...
  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Real-world Samples news story

    You need to re-think how those who shoot these cameras "Real-World" use them to give examples of what the cameras can do. This is not unique to you Barney but instead, seems to be an issue with...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Real-world Samples news story

    I'm sorry but this is jut flat out uninformed. The camera-holder could have used the "Astia" setting with deeper blacks like I do on the X100 and just knocked it out of the park in a place like...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Real-world Samples news story

    The "photographer" overexposed them and chose poorly in terms of light that would reveal this camera's true ability in terms of spatial color relationships. David Alan Harvey has one of these and...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Real-world Samples news story

    The "photographer" overexposed most of them and chose poorly in terms of light that would reveal this camera's true ability in terms of spatial color relationships, only a couple start to pull the...

  • Replied in Fix or Pix???
    I am talking fine art that sells in galleries. It definitely adds to the value if the image is good, like 10X.
  • Well, *your* profession is in serious trouble then sir, mine is taking off because I have nearly completely dumped digital and I am doing groundbreaking work on film for a market that has loads of...
  • Nice post!I use a lot of pre-visualization in my work and among a few other genres, a large part of my work is landscape in both medium format and large format black and white film, just got done...
  • I know what you mean, but...just do what I do and don't fill it to capacity with camera gear. I hated how heavy and over padded Lowe photo packs used to be, but this line is really getting there...

  • I use both the 10L and 15L packs full time professionally, never have an issue with a leaking Camelbak bladder. Just don't fill them 100%...
