An interview with DavidT,
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
About 40 years - off and on.
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
No formal training. I specialize in macro and close-up photography mainly shooting jewelry.
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
Depending on the subject, it could be many factors (e.g., composition, lighting, clarity, etc.), but most importantly is its visual and emotional impact.
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup?
Can you walk us through it? I used a Canon 5D Mk III with a 100/2 Zeiss Makro-Planar T* lens on a tripod. Exposure was 1/4 sec @ f/18 and ISO 800.
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
I used LR5 and PSE9 for minor post processing (cropping, sharpening, burning, etc.).
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
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?
A tripod. For macro work, it's a necessity.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
Oddly, it would be a Canon 90mm/2.8 tilt-shift lens with an extension tube. It is very useful in shooting jewelry and other close-ups where the narrow plane-of-focus is usually not perpendicular to the line of sight.
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot?
None. However, in my home studio, I use primarily tungsten lamps.
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?
