Good advice. I don't do it. And Rich is right.

Of course he's not right.

Photographers pursue what they want to do. If that's what they want to
do then so be it. If others appreciate it, then so be it. If they
don't, that's fine too.

Anyone who allows their shooting style to be dictated by the whims of
fools like Rich is even more foolish than Rich.


Horses for courses. Its an individual thing and calling the shot to
express what the photographer sees.

I like to see dynamics in water, always have. That white fluffy stuff
has its place, its something to lift an image and separate the water
from the background but it has problems in long exposures where movement
of trees/ferns detract.
