An interview with Bushpilot,
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
Since I was in 9th grade 9 thats about 57 years ago) when I took a photography and darkroom course.
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
I just self sought for the most part. I do personal photography, plus I am an exclusive photo contributor for IStock.
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
First, impact which means different things different people, second, composition.
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup? Can you walk us through it?
Nothing special just a DSLR , mid day under the canopy of an abandoned gas station.
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
Yes, adjusting, cropping, and evening out exposure in Lightroom. I converted it to black and white in Macphuns Tonality Pro. Then in Photoshop I resized the image and added the borders top and bottom.
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
I like the photographers from the 40's and 50's, especially André Kertész.
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
I would have waited until later in the day or even a cloudy day so i would have a wider choice of backgrounds.
8) What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
The proper use of reflectors and light discs.
9) What is your favorite photography accessory, other than your camera?
Photoflex Lite Discs.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
My 35mm F1.4
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot?
None
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
Probably painting.
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?

An interview with CaptainC,
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
Since my college days in the 60's. Not really sure what the spark was, but it stuck.
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
Mostly self-taught, but many workshops and seminars from some of the best portrait photographers.
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
For portraits, a great expression and dramatic light.
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup? Can you walk us through it?
Nikon D3 with the 70-200. All natural light (unusual for me).
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
Always - to more or lesser degrees. In this case just a levels/curves adjustment and a light vignette applied.
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
Too many mentors to mention.
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
Nope - it worked out OK.
8) What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
9) What is your favorite photography accessory, other than your camera?
My Sekonic 758DR light meter.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
That 70-200.
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot?
I carry 5 SB-800s with Pocket Wizard triggers and sometimes take along one or two Einstein studio strobes.
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
Go back to my old career as a 777 Captain. Best job in the world.
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
No. Pretty dull.
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?
http://www.clifflawsonphotography.com
15) Do you have any advice for the rest of us?
Shoot more. There is no substitute for practice.
