Eh, I love bokeh. The client base Im going for/that I have currently loves bokeh..so its a big deal to me.

The smoother and more colorful the better, bokeh makes me happy.[/B]


agree with you, what i mean is too many people are so into getting better bokeh that they sideline the other aspects to photography

I would post more I guess, if all I was shooting wasn't only horses and people with horses.... I made a specialty out of it and people are paying me for what I do, which suits me fine ofc :p
But after a few horses you would all start to be bored and ask me to shoot something else.... but as of now I'm a few months backed up in my post processing for the shows and don,t have time to go around shooting anything else......
Those who have my Facebook account can see what I do but here I must upload on Flickr first then make a topic..... I may sound lazy but sometimes I just don't have the leasure time to do so.....
Maybe this winter things will slow down....


i am interrested, pm me your fb page

My butt doesn't hurt... but I was disappointed in the direction this place went. I never really expressed my butt hurt feelings till now. :lol:

I too want to take more pictures, just for the sake of enjoying it. I don't know what made me lose it... I do have lots of ideas in my head, things I'd like an opportunity to shoot.

I'm not sure if it's the whole talk about photography that ruined it for me, all the hardcore people out there... I guess I'm just not that hardcore like the rest of em. I just shoot when I feel like it, and learn new things when I feel like it. I think it was more fun when I was noob to the DSLR world. Now THAT was exciting... it was those simple little things that made it fun. Now I gotta try and wrap my head around complicated editing processes and equipment and all those detailed things... I am not sure I am liking it at this time. All the talk about lenses and stuff, I don't even care to read words talking about gear unless I am interested in buying it or use it myself... in which can't happen right now. Just at a different place in my life, I think. I would like to experiment/try new lenses, but my mind is elsewhere, and my purchases are other things.


i think the best thing to do is get a photography buddy, you can then motivate/inspire eachother, push your "limits" and learn from one another

What? You can't tell me peer pressure is putting you off? That's the silliest thing I've read in this thread.

You don't need "gear" and photoshop expertise to take good pictures. If you like it, just go and make pictures.

actually you dont even need better gear until you stop being scared to learn more and you really feel passionate about photography.

No, peer pressure isn't putting me off. When I got into photography I had no idea how much there was about it! Especially the editing stuff. I don't enjoy the editing process at all, I still do it a little bit though. I'm not saying I need gear and photoshop. I just want to try new lenses, for something different you know? Not that I am bored of my current, but there are so many cool lenses out there I'd love to try as well. I am happy with the ones I was able to get. What I am trying to say is maybe photography isn't something I am really into like a lot of others. I'd like to say I am passionate about it. I truly enjoy seeing new places and sharing the experience with a camera, even if it's camping. Now those pictures I love taking, because it's something new, it's fresh to my eyes. Taking pictures around my city is becoming few and far between. I'm not sure where you got the to take good pictures idea, I thought I did pretty good :lol:

There were attempts to keep it alive at least.
I haven't touched my camera in awhile to go out on a photo shoot, but soon I will start going out more and taking more photos.
Until that time, back into my cave. :D
