GKPE: Serious Photography Thread

If your going to have a hiss and moan about people not commenting on your photos than don't have a big cry about it.

You wanted honest opinions and I gave it. Tough luck.

I just dont like plastic wrap processing. I like changes in color tones. Or raw processing, processing off raw. But not a whole raft of layers. Its like putting too much make-up on a pretty female face.

That is how I feel. Dont get all defensive. This aint a playground. You asked for it.

No need to fluff around.

Children....settle!

Nobody said we all have to think the same, and have the same opinions. Just accept that we are all different and thats OK.

I take photos for me, for my enjoyment. But I do get a buzz when someone else says that they really like my work.

Matt, pull your head in you fckin muppet! You never critiqued my work, you simply said you don't like computer edited imagery which is a pretty narrow minded comment, but coming from you who doesn't how to fart unless someone on here tells you too I guess its to be expected.

I was hardly having a hiss and a moan, I simply asked why. And I didn't moan at the response. I was merely pointing out YET ANOTHER dumb Matt comment.

Seriously boy, you single handedly manage to fck this forum up time and time again. I'll probably be banned for this post but right now I am sooo fcking wild I don't care, I just wish I was in the same room as you!

wow. Two powerful body's there. What sort of glass do you use on those tag? Is the 24-105mm F4L nice on the 1ds? focal lengths good for all sorts of work?

Gosh that must have cost a lot to get those two bodies. Bloody good investment though.

Thats why I want a 500mm tight in close. Some time there is to much in a scene and no focus point (yes Mark I do listen to you). Im busy focusing on forground and point of focus with my work (yes Scott I dont center everything now so listen to you too). The human eyes sees the big picture but the camera dosnt selective focus like our eyes do.

Gee I thought that you didn't listen. I was starting to to think that I should start yelling

but I guess I don't have to.

Those are cheap and nasty looking things.
I wouldn't be seen dead with one of those. Plastic rubbish! Need to be binned and replaced with something more practical and comfortable to use.
I just can't understand the cheapness of so many people to use such cheap rubbish. Free giveaways. They invest wads of cash on lenses and flashes, lights, bags and use these cheap made in China things!

















The straps.

Don't know. Better ask someone who has a 24-105 and a 1Ds

TM is 'flooded' with them at the moment. Going from $4K to $5.5K. I paid a smidge over $4 for it including P&P. Only 50K actuations.

Yeah I'll use the N for the blood letting. Why both? More money than sense? Those two and my L cost less than your body!!! Fancied FF and couldn't be doing with a 5D and couldn't be arsed to wait to see what the 5DII will be doing. This FF thing is the knees of them bees though.

and I could possibly put the 1Ds on Ebay (aus) and they are going around AU$5K if you can find one. So a potential profit (if it sold for $5K) of over AU$1000.

Tag you did well. I did think of upgrading the 5D to 1Dsmk2 but ...............

You have several advantages ....same battery,menu etc
