Hello, Howdy, and Hi everybody!

[Phil Holland]

Hello all,

Just read the mission statement for the forum and liked what I read.

My name's Phil Holland. I've been working as a professional photographer since 1999 primarily in the world of motion pictures. I occasionally shoot other things too like events, musicians, and weird print stuff. I try to produce fine art for gallery shows a few times a year as well. Lots of strange technical shooting in there as well.

I've been shooting with Canon dSLRs since the D30. At the moment I'm using a 1Ds Mark III and 5D Mark II. Had a phaseOne P25 for about a year, but got rid of it and focused on my lens addiction

Good to meet you all!

Phil, I have to say I love the cut from the spinning Pacific Wheel to the post in Santa Monica Pier. Interesting stuff indeed.

 

[Phil Holland]

Thanks guys. This place already reminds me an old and very useful forum that has long since been dead where a lot of professionals used to hang out, share, and critique each others work - which helped a lot earlier on in my career. I feel good about joining up

 

[Pete Askew]

And thanks for making that video on your DSLR rig. Just what I have been looking for as I'm getting interested in this and have been toying with the idea of putting something together around a D3s.
