still life food digital
Dear Enthusiasts,
My girlfriend is a serious (aspiring serious) photographer. Educated in Spain to take digital (Canon 20D) photos of food (not prepared dishes but rather still-life shots of vegetables and other fresh foodstuff in dramatic but static settings). Her work is quite good and she has sold many images to magazines in the past. She hopes to re-enter the field after some years of childrearing. Is there a community, an appropriately focused newsgroup for instance, that I could put her in touch with so she can correspond with like-minded fotogs? Thanks a bunch! Maggs |

There is lots of lively, cooperative discussion of photographs and issues surrounding photography there. If it looks interesting, I would suggest that she post a few of her best images, along with specific questions about each image - composition, color, subject matter, what works and what doesn't, etc. This particular group is part of Usenet and, as you can see, is fairly clannish. It is necessary to ignore negative comments which are sometimes overwhelming for a beginner. Flickr, and other photo discussion sites, are not like that. Enjoy. -- Mike Russell www.curvemeister.com/forum/ |

Taking "dramatic" photos of vegetables is an oxymoron.

No doubt we've gotten what we deserved. Pardon my intrusion into your solipsism. That's a very strange reply to Bill, who was criticizing the Little Green Eyed Jerk that insulted your girlfriend for no good reason, and LGED's was the *only* such reply that I've noticed. Perhaps you didn't intend it that way, but that's how your reply comes across. Did you not see Mike Russell's response that appears to have given you the kind of good advice that you came here for? It was posted almost a day ago, shortly after LGED's foolish, ignorant diatribe. If you did miss it, here's what it said: Have her check out flickr.com.
