Macro Insect Photos

with your Canon gear.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.
Different strokes, I guess.

Scott makes a valid point. I'm sure there is much better macro work
done with Nikon gear than the link you posted. Man, that stuff was
awful! My opinion, of course.

Your opinion, noted... but given the way you state it, the mark
is a negative one in your column, and doesn't reflect on the
work you directed it at. (The first tipoff being any claim that
one brand or another of hardware is part of the formula you use
to evaluate someone else's work.)

Learn to appreciate the fact that most great photography is not
done in your particular style, and whether you like something or
would want to take that type of photograph has *nothing* to do
with whether is is good photography or not.

So what is "great photography?"

Even if you learned to speak English perfectly, whom would you
speak it to?

To whom would you speak it?

Quite a few macro, micro, nature images, et al. Mostly using Nikon gear.
You might actually like this, since he is known as somewhat
of a gear afficionado.


Strange stuff, some a bit too manipulated for me, though the UV and IR stuff
is certainly interesting. I like his sense of composition though.

Thanks. A number of times someone or other got indignant, didn't see the
irony, etc., etc.....

Yeah, some of the compositions are interesting. Probably something lost
on many viewers.

Surprised he is not championed more by some. When the D1 came out, he
proclaimed it better than film.
