Glad you're here.
I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.
As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.
20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.
Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
What a hoot.
Gavin,
That is so funny! Where did you find this? Or is this one of your creations. Hilarious because of all the photography humor!
I would be the creator of that piece! Just browsing the blogs and found you all. Glad you enjoy it!
So to be fair Gavin, do you think the current EOS-1Ds Mark III is a bit spendy for what IT offers? Canon is still charging close to $7k for their top of the line camera which was released over a year ago, November 2007. Unless you need all those megapixels for your type of photography, might I interest you in a D700? Right this way…
Lastly, if you think something is too expensive, whether it be a top of the line camera body or a “mint condition” Ultimate Warrior poster, DON’T BUY IT!!!
Nice Sam. Great job… Gav
DZ I think that based on the 5D MKII and what it offer for 2700, that the Canon is too expensive. I also think that Canon is gonna be updating the 1 series line soon so it offers more.
I think what many are annoyed about (not me so much) is that this is Nikon’s new offering and does not offer much more yest costs a load.
Personally I think it probably has a nych market, and will sell though I agree that for what it offers it seems a lot.
For the record I would have posted with video with equal enthusiasm if it had been about a Canon… Gav
