damn.. i've done just that on several occasions.. although i generously tipped them. i still feel a little guilty.. but it's kind of like journalism.. to capture real life.

I can figure.. These shots above are dynamic..they elicit an emotion in me...  what kind of story is told by someone just lying on the sand  ????? .. unless they are IN  the sand, with only their...

true, there are many great shots which can be taken at the beach, but i think taking a picture of people frolicking at the beach is usually not a shot which will elicit 'wow, look at that great...

i don't really agree for the most part.. A good street shot, is like an 'environmental portrait' if there are supporting elements which TELL A STORY. Showing an interesting action in a particular...

i came from a trip from france a few years ago..   had my d90 and 18-200mm lens and sb400 flash stolen.. as well as a box of Macarons (those french pastries, with are like little cookies, with a...

well, i was following a guy with an OMD, for 8 hours on a tour in Istanbul.. he looked pretty happy all day long.. snapping away.. changing lenses.... at the end of the day he was showing me his...

Do you have any zooms ?.. how heavy would the camera and a zoom weigh ?

True about the prop thing.. as it was advertised used in the movie... which blows up the price a lot... I thought the leica was only $3000-4000 ?.  is that the monochrome jobbie ? if so.. they...

i thnk i read the omd is faster... geeze.. i really wanna downsize from my d7000. hopefully next gen of mirrorless will be faster (i was looking at the sony.. but the lenses are soooooo big and...

promised almost a year ago, the x-pro1 review update was to be done in 'due course'... well, its 10 months later. .Do any of you know if and where the update to the Review is ? due course means the...

thanks ! and thanks to WCHUTT !!!!!!!!! (ALERT: slightly off topic following) So far my choice, is between the OMD and x-pro (whatever it is when i'm ready to buy later this year).... i loved the...

(on the  way to downsize to high end mirror less)  Since i like to do HDR (originally very overprocessed.. trying to get away from that cartoon look.. but its tough.. just joined HDR-Anonymous to...

you could buy  7 OMD-EM5's  or 46 Casio TG-820 digicams (now on sale at Future Shop here in canada). Do people really have THAT MUCH MONEY to pee away ?

Most people are not educated enough to understand why they should save up for the better stuff. The guy in the camera store will say "it's take better pictures than the cheap lens", and the client...

This may be a stupid question, but if you basically love a lens like this, cant you shoot a bit wider and crop out the corner crappy parts ?. yes, its an extra step but if thats a deal breaker for...

amen ! i went to china in 2006 and was travelling with a tour group which was usually running from one location to the other (2 cruises and on top of that  about a dozen cities in 3 weeks).. thanks...

Most people opt for one system. Like many toy .. Most people have once acoustic guitar, I know some who have 5 or 6. My poll was geared towards the average shooter

all good points.. it was a poll monkey whatever test for me... but there could be a good poll devised.. if the results would interest anyone..  maybe we leave it as.. sure.. there is a chunk of slr...
