Well in the end there are two camps. Some gotta have the newest because they will get better? Did the camera physically make them better? Whisper in your ear? Point out that "oh my" moment? No that new technology didn't make you better. It allowed you to capture that moment in a better way. Only you can make you better.
Agree'd. When the ultimate destination is pro, then equipment matters. Your knowledge has to have a basic start point. You don't start with an advanced camera
Please understand this is an observation. Not the magic do all, fix all.
I am a grinder. By grinder I mean just a guy that loves photography and have loved it all my life.My equipment is sparse and in almost all cases entry level. Not a complaint but a fact of life. Kids, college, weddings, all came first. Photography is a passion but in most cases comes lower on the list of must haves. I watch posts on UHH and almost daily people ask for this vs that and seem to think this will make them better. What makes you better is practice and knowledge of the equipment you have. My lenses are kit lenses. My camera an entry level DSLR. My enjoyment has been and is over the top. I love what I do. I love getting better. I love the knowledge. So for all you people out there who think the equipment will make you better. Nope it's practice, read, understand. That's what makes you better.
You are not worth my time.
Weather you are a hobbyist or pro, being published is validation. Keep up the excellent work. Congrats!
No problem jumping in on the post. Trying to learn here but I dot have photoshop so I will try the hue adjustment then I will have to make a decision.
That's better than anything I was able to do. Looks great. I will try that.
I am shooting ir680 on a sony converted Nex5N. I have seen video to convert so sky is blue. I am using an old version Elements 6. Am I asking too much?
Some people put their names on their work with a (c) copyright. How do you copyright and how do you get the symbol?
Thanks again. Will keep that in mind.
Just had a Sony NEX5N converted. Getting my feet steady but this is so much more fun than the IR film days. Thank you for giving me something to aspire to. May I ask what program you use for post? I have an old version of Elements and I think I will be fine
