How much money have you invested?

[bace]

First of all I don't shoot sports. BUT I would take that challenge any day. A rebel T2i with a 70-200 is totally fine to shoot fast action. You're probably the kind of photographer that shoots constant 6fps until you get your magic shot. It's safe of course, but not necessary if you can anticipate a great shot.

Also as if anyone at a wedding or event knows the camera gear you have, or your abilities with it.

This is exactly what I hate about other photographers. You actually think that the money you spend on gear is directly related to your professional "qualifications" and you scorn anyone who's "stealing" jobs from you because they can do it for far less.

...If you can't make money with a $500 Camera, then you're not a good photographer. Period....

I'm sorry, but this statement is rubbish. Period.

After looking at your website sir it is very clear, that you are not qualified to give any critique on anyones work.

Getting retards to pay you to take pictures is business. Getting awards and having talent is photography.

Everything on the front page of my website was shot with a rebel. And all of it was published/paid work.

All right, first of all, let me clarify my statement: When I said your comment was rubbish, I meant that the camera has precious little to do with the job, and whether it's a $50 camera or a $50,000 camera should not matter a whit. My first money in photography was made with a second or third-hand $35 Miranda all-mechanical film camera. It's the photographer that matters, NOT the gear.

Let's not get personal with each other's work or skill shall we? I made no comment about the quality of your work, nor did I express my opinion on it; you and I clearly shoot in two different styles and for two very different market segments. You have a long list of publishing credits. That's great! It does NOT however mean that your work is better than someone elses and I very much do NOT appreciate my clients, some of whom have become good friends, being referred to as "retards".

What? Just why was this called for? Brace yourselves for another locked thread.

Picture from front page with Exif Data:


Funny the Exif data says Canon EOS 5D Mark III, not rebel. A Troll and a liar.

Buh-By....

And......for the first time ever, I just used the ignore button!!!!! Thanks for stopping by Bace.

 

[photoguy99]

But what if I don't particularly care about making money?

 

[TheNevadanStig]

I need about tree fiddy.

 

[Raj_55555]

Come on guys, can we get back to the $$s please? This was such an interesting read before people started with the personal attacks for no apparent reason.

 

[manaheim]

I wonder if the ignore button works when you're a moderator...

You are obviously someone we can take seriously.

Wow. Just wow. If someone had the audacity to say something like that about MY clients they would no longer be a member of this forum, because when I was done with them they would NEVER want to come back. I am surprised tirediron is still allowing you to post! Using that word (the "R" word) is downright disgraceful. Bace.....you need to take a hike.....a very long one!

I trust your breakfast is digesting well? Because it would seem your head is so far up your own ass that you can give us real time updates as it moves through your intestines.

Ok, I think that's quite enough of that.

For those of you who fired this thread up... and you know who you are... consider yourself given the evil eye.
