Because you don't like the way he takes photos in a public place you hope someone shoots him with a deadly weapon. That says far more about your character than it does about his, and it ain't pretty.

I'll keep this in mind next time I'm in the field when the wind is blowing and I'm struggling to keep my 5D Mk III & telephoto lens steady despite being mounted on a top-of-the-line tripod and ball...

Another option is to pick up a used 1D Mark IV or Mark III. It's far cheaper. Like all 1 series bodies, the 1D X will dramatically deprecate in resale price over its lifetime.

Even assuming the phone GPS recording does work perfectly far away from a cellphone tower, I don't understand how you can workaround the problem of its limited battery life without relying on extra...

"Useful idiot" on a college campus or not, I've spent plenty of time in Israel and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. I even did a little work for an Israeli photojournalism company at one time,...

How is asking questions and asking for evidence suggestive of an "attack"? You have presented no evidence to back up your assertions about Hansen's Gaza photo - probably because you have none. It...

califleftyb, whoever you are - have you ever worked as an international photojournalist? Have you ever been to Gaza or personally known anyone who has worked there? What actual evidence do you...

The top end 1D cameras are magnificent but strictly from the narrow point of view of the body itself, they deprecate substantially. Of course they are still good value for people who need them.

Your work is simply fantastic! It looks so very very cold that your cameras need to grow their own woollen coat just to survive :)

So what? We don't live in Darwin's intellectual world. Biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics have made vast advances in knowledge since then. Times change.

There is quite a difference between taking photos of insects and getting a PhD in evolutionary biology! And how many photographers or scientists do you know that can marry art and science with the...

You are correct to point out people do not always communicate with clarity being their most important goal. And there are good reasons for that, among them being we as a species are naturally...

photomeme have you ever used Google+? It seems unlikely.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I find it extremely useful because I want to know where a photograph was taken, especially if its in a remote area are from any known landmarks. The data...

The attitude here is about 3600 m ( 11,740 feet). In winter, it becomes extremely cold. The people who live here are hardy and tough, as you might...

Ask yourself this:Do you ever take photographs where access to a stable electricity supply is not easy? Having a dedicated device for GPS that can take a rechargeable AA battery is very useful in...

And what makes them think they can come here and attempt to deceive us all like this?I have found Unique Photo to have very good prices and excellent shipping speed. They also stock items that can...

I think the 5D Mk III does ok in war zones. You can use the TSE lenses too, if they tickle your fancy.
