Canon 1Ds Mark II, and a Canon 10D. My lenses include a Canon 70-200L F/2.8 IS, Canon 17-40mm L, Canon 100mm F/2.8 Macro, and, occassionally, a Canon 28-105mm. I scan 35mm slides and negatives using a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 II.
偏爱主题:
Nature, Scenic, Landscapes, Architecture, Macro, Surreal and, ever so often. . .people. I am drawn to simple clean compositions - solitary objects on uncluttered tonal areas for the most part. I am fortunate enough to live in one of the most beautiful and photographable places in the world, California. Not a day passes without an opportunity to capture an extraordinary and unique image.

Creation stands on its own. Any meaning or value is derived by each viewer solely from within the boundaries of the work itself. Photography, to me, is simply a wonderful method to express that primal desire to reflect and thus express truth or beauty (some say they are the same thing). It also may be simply the desire to convey a profoundly moving effect. To that end, the viewer either 'gets it' . . or is not moved.
I think the trade-off is acceptable. I would rather my images not be ruined by an obtrusive watermark and risk the occasional pirate who wants to steal a small thumbnail image with a watermark in it. Seriously, if someone wants an image, its also easy to rip one of your images off by copying an un-watermarked image from a site that has legally purchased one. The example above isn't representative of a lot of the images that are sold. It is simply a frame border with mostly white space. A more noticeable watermark in this case wouldn't detract from the image at all. But put that same watermark in the middle of a photograph with detail throughout the frame, and you can't tell what you're looking at. posted in Improving watermark or not ??
The unplanned mishaps that you catch on camera. For instance, a mistake at the alter that makes the bride or groom (or both) laugh or some acting out by the little flower girl or ring bearer that steals attention from the bride and groom for a moment. Its sometimes the little 'flaws' that create the best memories. And if you happen to capture one of them, all the better. posted in Dreamstime's Field of View IV - Question 3
