There has been a "Amazon crisis" ?

Hello Gary, I'm here because I received a notification with your message, but I don't come here anymore as I did not find what I'm searching (no critic intended, the forum is very well and happy those who find here what they want :) Anything I can do for you ?

I did not judge it, you're the one judging and commenting my writings about photography, defining it as "alienating", whatever that means. In fact, I do not say anything different than what photographers had to learn in the 90's (and before) when they were serious about it. I don't remember any...

He has no strong and fixed opinions, he's a real technician who knows his topic. Maybe he was tired at some point of hearing BS about creativity and art to justify very average work.

You do whatever you want, once again, if you think that mixing up chicken breast and chocolate and freeze the result is a valid attempt to build a new dish, that's all good for me as long as I don't have to eat it.

I can take all the ingredients in my kitchen and mix them up in any random order, then cook them at a random temperature. I'm quite sure that will exclude me from being a good cook. Cooking is like any "art" (refer to my original post for the definition of "art"), it has rules, and anybody who...

"Art" in this context is not to be taken in its first degree but as a synonym for "skills" : "If you describe an activity...

I've seen up to five (5) people on those small motorbikes. Water did not rise so high that it was dangerous for the engine. However, there was some water inside the car. When I shot raw (which I don't do anymore), I use Capture one. The thing is that those modern lenses have a lot of...

The change of weather conditions allow us to renew ourselves, we, photographers, take any opportunities to get shots of our surrounding when they face conditions that we're not going to see again. The winter in Nanjing can be rough, with cold temperature and snow. What's better than snow...

It did not rain on Bangkok for the past few months, the sky is blue, blue, blue so blue and there is so much light that it is a paradise for the photographers. Yes and no, we need to renew ourselves and to do so, we need changes in the surrounding conditions. In westerns countries, we have...
