Thanks Jackie. I totally agree with you.
MN Blue Skies said:Unfortunately, I've seen a several excellent Professional Landscape and Nature Photographers give up trying to discuss photography here. These Pro Photographers had lots of tips and expertise that they were willing to share but moved on because the discussion was always dominated by a minority who tried to convince people that cell phones are better than pro-level DSLRs. It has been our loss.
MN Blue Skies said:Hey Angry Bert, I just checked out the images that you posted on your Flicker account. VERY NICE!
Wow! Your bird shots are very nice, but I love your macros. There is something fascinating about bugs with a macro lens.MN Blue Skies said:Hey Angry Bert, I just checked out the images that you posted on your Flicker account. VERY NICE!

MN Blue Skies said:I love your images. It might take a pro photographer to truly appreciate your shots. Obviously they were not taken with a cell phone.

Thanks very, very much. It's my hobby. I'm a die hard Canon fan. Cell phones will never equal the abilities of a DSLR. Cell phone for sports? I had coffee coming out of my nose.
I'm in the Pacific Northwest..

Many use cell phones with far less quality optics than my SLR , but they regularly win competitions because that are far more skilled than me with composition and are far more skilled and inventive with Photoshop and other tools. One other thing that i have learned is that I don't have the patience for bird photography, which often requires lying on a beach for an entire day waiting for the perfect shot from the ideal angle. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate great bird photography.
MN Blue Skies said:Angry Bert, I'm also a Canon user. What body do you shoot with, what are your favorite lenses, and do you use a tripod. Your images are usually tack sharp. Thanks for sharing that your photography is your hobby.
MN Blue Skies said:Angry Bert, your images are beyond a hobby. I hope you stick around to share your techniques.
