:-) Thanks Bob. Your encouragement is much appreciated. However reaching world class in this photographic segment requires some sacrifices that I am not willing to make. Such as spending tons of time in a hide, for example. I feel the itch down my ischias nerve at the mere thought of it.
Besides, it was more of an effort to adjust the viewer's expectations, not mine. There's something about this lens that gives very aesthetically pleasing images if only the focus is right. The optical properties of this lens gives every shot a sense of rarity. I was just trying to encourage the audience not to be fooled by it. When I look through my catch, I easily fall in the same trap myself... :-) Jostein /13 Bob Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Jostien, > How long have you had that lens back in Norway? 2 weeks? > I've seen your work before, and it's top flight. > Stop worrying that your new gear hasn't made you world class... yet. > Give it some time! > Regards, Bob S. > > On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 2:22 AM, AlunFoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> 2008/6/12 Bob W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >>> That's a very good shot. >> >> Very kind of you, Bob. >> >> My own summary is: Technically satisfactory, and an interesting >> moment, but compositionally awkward. >> Maybe my ambitions are too high, but I can't help comparing my results >> to those of my friends in BioFoto.
