Well, then, all I can suggest to you is to go out, take those easy snaps that require not talent anyway and start offering them around. Start with museums, they are suckers for mediocrity, as you...

For one thing, Eggleston made colour photography respected as Art.
At first sight, most of his pictures look like snapshots of mundane, trivial, ordinary scenes. That can be observed with many...

Hilarious to see comments here from people who obviously have no idea of what Eggleston brought to photography.

Seeing just a picture of a tricycle here is like saying the Grand Canyon is just...

The 28mm field curvature can help some shots and make other more difficult. Very few lenses have a flat field anyway. All in all, the 28/1.8G is a marvel and is sold at a bargain. Do not forget the...

Sorry to be blunt, but even if there was flare in that picture, it wouldn't be its biggest problem.

HiVery impressive animals!I suspect there is some flare in your shots. The contrast is quite low. Maybe try to lower the black point a bit.Cheers,

HiI'm sure Canon will eventually be competitive again in the sensor department, but it will not be in 2013. It is too early to replace the 5D and 6D. Besides, they are good cameras and sell very...

Sorry to be blunt, but you have to learn to keep the camera level when you shoot wide like that. Level the camera and try to get the framing. Use distortion correction too. Some shots have massive...

HiGot a D800 and the f/1.8 trinity last week :-) Not a problem with focus.Cheers

HiI am delighted with my Manfrotto 486 RC2 ballhead. I used to have an Arca-Swiss and I find the Manfrotto much better.Two main things better on the Manfrotto:1. The tension setting actually works...

Zeiss. Biogon. That's something else entirely.

There are of course exceptions. But in the photo-related software area, I got burned with LightZone and Bibble. Now, predictability is my number one criteria to choose products. I can work around...

I too tried the little outsider route. It does not work. Software maintenance demands resources, let alone development of new features. Tiny companies of just a few people are just not reliable...

Not so. I used to have an EOS 3 (yes, film) and its AF was the same as the EOS 1v, allowing AF at f/8.
