- Introduction
- I'm a Digital PERSON of interest, and love taking all kinds of pics. Actually I still have a single film body, which sits and reminds me of the good old days of paying through the nose for developing. Anyone want to buy it? :)
- Is there an event up and coming, or was there an event in history that you would have like to have been there to photograph and why?
-
I would like to have been able to take pictures of the Spartan army in Ancient Greece. (From a safe distance of course with a 500mm lens preferably.) I have a thing for watching team/armies precision and uniformity, working as a single unit.
- If you could have one camera and one lense for the rest of your life to use for everything, based on what's out there now, what would you pick?
-
Probably a Canon EOS 1D Mark III. It has all the speed and performance I think I'd need, and a 70-200 IS USM F2.8 Lens which I already use and love is fine for most anything.
- Of every picture you have ever seen, what is the one that is the most striking, most memorable for you.
-
A 35mm slide I took when I was 16, of a summer sunrise in the Ghost river area at 4:45 am. The sky was a blue I didn't know existed, and the mountains in the foreground were mere silhouettes. Made me want to know how to that again.
- Are there any events that you would like to see us do as a group?
-
As a group of photographers, we should offer to do a big charity fund-raising event for an organization like World Vision, and raise money to provide food, water, and life sustaining supplies. I already have plans drawn up to do this if anyone is ??
- Tell the group a bit about yourself. What kind of photography do you like to do? Do you considder yourself a novice or an expert? Would you like to teach or learn something about this amazing field? And finally, what kind of food can you cook? :)
-
I'm currently finishing off my Certificate at SAIT in photography. Been taking digital pictures since digital cams into being, and lots of 35mm prior. Enjoy Weddings, events, and commercial work. Have some studio bits now, and macro toys. CANON :)
