Another Arizona POTN get together (3)?

Zoom with your feet? Pssh...what are we, animals? It's 2010 Hatch...technology has advanced!

All I think about is the Wall-e when you say stuff like this... I can see you riding around on your hover lawn chair slurping down 64oz sodas. Technology can't replace better compositions achieved from not standing in one place and zooming for 10 shots.

We are going to battle to the death with zooms vs. primes!

Hatch

Hatch

Difficult to challenge prime vs. zoom, unless of course you own a Nikon system.... lol.... Canon is missing the boat with accuracy on zooms.... some of us choose to live with and adjust our shooting style according,
others demand perfection and resolve to switching lenses as needed.

I think primes win it hands down (even though my bag only has one prime, and one zoom.... if the cash landed in my pocket... I'd be sure to have a nice set of primes along WITH my zooms... lol.)

Hey everyone great shots! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been super busy which is good. Here are a few over the past month I took from recent shoots.

Looks like you've been busy.. Nice shots

Love the location of your family shoot.... where is that? West side?

The guitar pic is cool and I like the PP on it too. Looks like Mesa Art Center, maybe?

That last shot is pretty cool too.. what is the place? An athletic club, hotel, or just a clubhouse? Nice framing on it.

Thanks!

The location of the family shoot was at the AZ Grand Resort in Tempe.

The guitar pic was at the Mesa Art Center correct

The last shot was at the Wild Horse Pass Casino in Chandler. I did a shoot there for a stone company that built the fountains you see in the picture. They hired me to take some shots of their finished work.

Hey there! I've been so swamped at work that finding time for photography has been difficult. Saturday morning I read that the neo-N*z!'s were going to march downtown, so I grabbed my gear and headed down. It turned out to be a really interesting day of dodging pepper spray, tear gas and rubber bullets!

(The posting of these photos should not be misunderstood as an endorsement of any group or their actions in these photos. I was merely documenting the event.)

f/4, ISO 1600, @ 65mm... Window Light, of course.

Love this!

I seriously hate Craigslist!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!! The last two emails about my 24-105 were:

1) Is this an "L" lens? Which seeing the types of pictures I posted you have to be stupid to ask that.
2) I can offer you $700. Um yeah, Im asking $875, Ive only seen one for $700 and it was like 5 years old and beat the hell up.

It's a love/hate relationship. I've sold and bought a ton of stuff off CL. You get some genuine people that wont low ball you but most of them are looking for a bargain and will low ball you. You'll find a good buyer that knows what he/she are looking for and the value's of your equipment. Most the other people just got an SLR and are looking for a lens but have no idea what they need or what. Good luck with your sales! I'm sure they will go quick.

yeah been slacking on the forum lately. Between photography, editing endless photos and COD Black Ops, I see no forums! So when is the next time you are getting together with some POTN Members and doing a shoot? I need to join you guys sometime soon.

Excellent job, Christina. I had thought of going and decided not to. To my mind, the last of your images is the most powerful. Seeing the little kid with his hand in salute is downright terrifying.

Hello to all!
I have been lurking in POTN for quite a while now with a few posts here & there.
I stumbled across this thread and was suprised to find so many AZ Photogs!
Thread title of "Another Arizona POTN get together (3)?" led me to think there were some activities that I may be able to participate in, local small trips to take advantage of AZ's beauty.
Looks like there is some tremendously talented photogs here and I am always looking to improve my new found skills.
My first love is landscape, especially here in AZ.
I have been shooting as a second for a local wedding photog which really allows me to learn a lot about my equipment.
I would love to be able to hook up with like minded folks and gleen some of their techniques & experience.

Have a great day,

Shawn Carden
Scottsdale, AZ.

Welcome to the group. You'll find that this group is very generous with their knowledge which is what I love about it.

LOL, dude I actually considered doing that. I thought about jumping on there and offering you some random stuff for your lens.
