You know, when we’re on a press trip like this, we spend a lot of time on the bus. When we get off, we’re hustled through whatever thing it is they’ve given us to photograph and then herded back on the bus. I stood patiently taking representative photographs quite often with three cameras: the RX10, the A7R and the A7. Many of them will repeat as we post galleries from the other two cameras. I had PR people hustling me and others along, while we tried to capture more meaningful images.
When I say ‘representative,’ I mean shots that show what the camera can do in various situations. A moving animal, for example. A standing animal with a rider. A brick wall with a neon sign illuminating it. It’s not art, it’s an image that you can zoom in on and look at for detail, color, processing, sharpening, whatever.
It happens that Steve Huff is on this trip. Go visit his site, I’m sure he’ll appreciate it. Bottom line, I don’t shoot these for art. I shoot them to show what the camera can do.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
