I just picked up my DRebel XT(first camera, yeah I know, when I start somehting, I do it big{what I mean is that most people don't get a $700 SLRas their first camera, or $700 at the time) and went out shooting, kept coming online looking for advice, found this forum and have grown ever since.

Q: Who is your favorite photographer, and how have they inspired you?

A.
I think my favorite photographer is David Williams, who I was thrilled to have an "Almost One on One" seminar with. (Only 8 of us).
He's a master photog from Australia, and a Kodak master, Royal Academy, 10 Best in the World winner.

He was super nice, hated "brands", and had all these genious ways of doing things without "proper" lights, "brand" lenses, or "fancy" studios.

He did a one on one critique of my work, simultaneously uplifting and encouraging me more than any person ever has, and giving me the best upper level tips and tricks I could ever hope to know. He nit picked me in an inspiring way.


Q. What was that first "special" photo, where you knew that you were destined for photography?

 

[pandinus]

A: I think that might have been photographing my first girlfriend at the field of dreams, in Iowa.... ( I borrowed my fathers old Pentax...)

Q: What is the farthest you've traveled to shoot a scene? (Landscape, cityscape etc.)

 

[elsaspet]

Off topic. I wanna see the field of dreams photo!

 

[JDS]

The farthest I've traveled with the intention to take photos was about 50 miles, to an air show at a small airport. Using a short lens, I'm still doing editing to try to make them look decent.

Q: Have you ever been injured on a photoshoot?

 

[Payt]

A: Had an elbow to the head at a concert once, slipped on ice and got bruised up a different time, was kicked in the neck by an oblivious friend flying through the air while I laid on a couch, haha. And my gear is still in one piece!

Q: What is the wackiest improvisation you have ever made on a shoot?
