Beautiful. Your mind was in the right place. Simplicity is often the answer.

The first Pink shot fits the compositing grid, and has the landscape as a point of comparison. The second shot does not. The second shot is much more dramatic than the first. I happen to like the second shot better.It defies the normal perspective.

I am 100% behind your request. It is not just Photographers it is the internet in general. Daily I open my computer to be accosted by several hundred blast of Health products and political notices. Health product adds that boast of their free information and after 20 minutes of their self promotion and tell you it is free that want your credit card number to pay for shipping. SCAM just to get your e-mail so they can sell it to another SCAMMER.
The internet providers are part of this. They are the ones providing the platform and that get the advertising revenue for all the Popup ads.

I love it. The Big Foot of Man vs the hungry !

Yes I know, but they have such a massive debt they need to recover and this is one of the ways they will try.

One of the interesting things is, Amazon was swamped with their own inadequate system of delivery so they started a deal with the USPS. That has put a lot of pressure on the USPS to keep up. The benefit is not to you but rather the increased bottom line of potential profit for the USPS.
A business system decision.

An interesting article. I did not see any comparison of sales and longevity when compared by age of each technology use and purchase by age groups. My bet is that the younger people will be leaning toward smart phones rather than DSLR. As all of this occurs and technology continues to develop there will be even more changes in the Imaging Industry. Perhaps the Old Antique Cameras market will get even more business .I still like my Canon.

Thanks Mark. I am fortunate more than a lot of others. When I was stationed in the Great Lakes (Navy) area we would take our Liberty week ends in Milwaukee and did the USO thing at the Eagles Ballroom where we were treated with most of the Big Band shows. Glenn Miller, Spike Jones, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, and yes even Bob Hope and many more. What a treat and how lucky can a Young Sailor get.

Thanks Bob for that new info. It is not just the USA pharmacy companies that are so based on the allmight dollar. Most of the drugs we buy are not even made here, they are made in other countries because of the labor cost to sales price of the drug. PROFIT is the reason. and Greed is the result.

Thank you. A great article with important information.

Perfect!

This litle Bird was sent by the Photography God. You have been blessed by this action. Every Bird shot you make in the future will be perfect.
