I wish 2 things: I wish I had enough disposable money to worry about a manufacturer's profit instead of my own finances. And, if that's how you really proceed, I mean, supporting others business, I ...

I too find such images irritating, as I do for most things with the sole goal of presenting a fake-happiness, shallow, empty, wealthy, materialistic lifestyle. Like the movie American Beauty, just ...

Nick, I'm sure you had the greatest intentions, and I hate being that guy, but... I'm a guy who, in pursuit of my portfolio, did the "whatever it takes" route. For example, I've lost count of how ...

Exactly! A lot of people remember the 5d having something magical about it. It does, in how it renders colors, but specially in the pixel level sharpness. That was the magic people remember. I'm ...

Back in the day, I was using a D700, a camera I consider as nearly perfect. But the D700 has 1 problem: super agressive AA filter. Although I've always known that and wished for a sharper sensor, I ...

Carey, these are absolutely stunning. Seriously, these are GORGEOUS! If you read my comment above, I'm definitely not happy with how AI is taking over the world. But that doesn't stop me from ...

It’s days like these I kinda wish I were 90 yo. So I wouldn’t have to accept or agree for much longer with the nonsense the world is becoming. But yeah, I will have to suffer for quite some time ahead.

Same here... but looking at your portfolio it would be impossible to tell you struggle one bit. In fact, I see a tremendously creative work, and impressive technical execution to boot. Superb work!

Ron, I've never noticed your site before Guy's comment. Extremelly impressive stuff, I was wowed a ton of times!! Must be super proud of accomplishing such gorgeous photography. I'm really amazed! ...

Hi Ron, Yup totally agree in all your points, that's all there is to it. And we could sum those up as: it's not up to you to win. You must be somehow really, really, really well connected. Which is ...

Mike, you’re probably located in the most gig abundant place on Earth. I can’t think of any photographer (and I know plenty of them) who thinks getting clients is easy nowadays. It has become a ...

I have my own CCD subforum, it's my camera bag :D nowadays, 90% CCD based, so good man Well, have you guys ever heard of the Sony F35? AFAIK, it was the last CCD cinema camera, featuring a super 35 ...

Don’t watch too much Youtubers who live on promoting the latest, providing sales for their associated dealers and websites. DSLRs are going to be the main choice for at least 10 years. why? Because ...

Guys, thank you so much for the support! For those in this part of the world, there's a life threat coming closer and closer on the horizon (can't say too much to not derail it as off topic), so my ...

I'm on this site for more than a decade. This reply right here, is in the top 3 I've ever read. Well done great sir, you win the internet! Well done!

This could go on forever. I hope I retire soon from this thread. The narrative goes both ways, I have mine, but you have yours. Don't forget yours is also a narrative, just one that fits your purposes.

I came to the office thinking about this thread. I'm doing my best to stay honest about this subject, without bias. One of the reasons why the OP's video fail, is because there's a lot of ...

BackToNature, I'm a bit out of time to a proper reply. But this needs to be clarified. If it looks simple, it's because pros know how to make their equipment sing, no matter what. What the gear ...

So once again, a pro exposes the raw truth in a video, and the majority of arm chair enthusiasts says the guy is wrong. In DPR, enthusiasts always know more than pros. How do they do it? Have no ...

I'm off to the office, but the first half I've watched is 1000000% spot on. So much BS, really, so much endless BS we read on internet forums, it's so much it hurts. As he said, a 5d II will get ...
