    Mark, I have a different theory for that. Unless you're in a very small and priviledge slice of the market, one with super large clients that do understand what it takes to deliver high end ...
  • BacktoNature, I may assume this is not your field given your user name. I assume you focus on wildlife. I’m not filiated to Mauro Volpara or Herbert Coelho (a Vogue photographer I’ve shown before ...
  • Oh My!  Is that what is all about, sex? When I see those guys' images (as well as mine), I'm seeing how skilled it was lit, the location, the quality of skin retouching, how well directed the poses ...
  • Not related to the video. I'm at work so didn't watch it (yet). I'd like to address one common misconception, which RP implied. Contrary to popular belief, shooting good looking women is far, far, ...
  • I have a different perspective, and glad for that, because it puts value in new achievements, at the same time keep respect for what came before. It means a lot, it put things in perspective. An ...
  • You know, it's often said 12mp is equal (or better) than a well shot 35mm chrome. And 20-24 mp is well inside 645's domain.  Maybe there's a debate somewhere, but most people would agree with these ...
  • A bunch of replies say  "no sacrifices, just a hobby". It's hard to express self sacrifices in a thread like this without looking like some bragging contest. But since the OP asked, and this is a ...
  • That above was addressing press conferences. So many people in a room, and yet all of them know the clack-clack sounds are photographers doing their designated work, to satisfy their employers and ...
  • It always puzzles me why some people think photographers should be ashamed of their profession, and hide far away from sight, hide in the shadows and stay in complete silence, as if they own a ...
  • Replied in everyday...
    ...I thank camera makers for making my pockets enjoy a much easier time now :D The day all OVF and mechanical shutters are gone, I'm not spending a cent ever again on cameras. It goes to show ...
  • I'll say this as a Leica M8 owner (M8 because I'm a fan of CCDs, and M9 has the corrosion problem). I love my M8, it has one of the best outputs I've ever seen. Colors are stunning. That said... Mi ...
  • 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! ...
