I swear that every post of yours is about motion taking over photography. Don't you get bored of writing the same thing?
I don't understand (neither like) this hostility with the BC post. He might have touched some sensitive subject.
Well, motion is part of the photographic language now, like it or not, understand it or not.
In a question of years, the clients needs and behaviour have changed, yes they have changed faster in the areas BCooter is working but no doubt that those will hit all the photography genres.
Michael Reichmann pointed many times here, and better that pointing I would say warned many times about the need for the photographer to embrasse video.
Soon 3D imagery is coming and you can laugh but it will be there faster than we think and the question remains if you want to keep going ignoring this or not.
Paper, in art, has not a long time either, in advertising it is declining seriously and I know that because I have my spys in 2 enormous printers and media groups.
Many members will jump immediatly against that, but it does not matter how high you bark, the days of paper are numbered. The countdown have already started.
If you ignore the changes, that's fine and respectable, but there's a price to pay.
Thank god we have in this forum photographers like BC who are in the first places to bring us valuable and reliable concepts about what's going on in the real world.
Because internet forum are far from describing the real world I'm afraid and turn over sensitive when certain topics are discussed.
I share BC statements about MF manufacturers, about video and about the changes that is facing photography.
And if I'm correct he also work MF on a regular basis. And that is where all the story starts. On the forums there are all kind of opinions about anything.
I still remember the Gwift complains about the tether and all that stuff. It results that more I do my steps in this world and gain experience, that I experimented exactly what Gwift, J.Russell etc...are talking about.
Exactly. When I was in my studio on my own I could also invent, speculate and opinate whatever I wanted. But when you start to work in serious then you realise how good are some posters.
Actually I miss Gwift, Tmark posts in this forum and I hope that James Russell will keep going to write regularly. I don't get bored of reading the same things because I know who is behind the keyboard.
Video matters, it's fun, creative and a source of incomes for the photographer.
I think that when we criticize MF, it is because we would like to see some improvement in usability, and we would like to see those because we want the MF brands to be there and work with MF gear
not because we want them to disappear.
