I am just speculating, but it's possible that the printing system they used has an "auto-levels" type of adjustment, or something like that.
A Doctor friend using a 5D MkII (which no doubt will be joining us on a grubby Alby Mangles-type jaunt into the Otways this Sunday) tells me that pics 'don't need any work at all for printing'. "Just connect the camera, transfer to the computer and print!".
Ugh!
.......... I am not prepared to give any of the photographers any real credit as promising "professional photographers" after just 4 hours. Oh please! Who ever on earth came up with the suggestion that they are now "promising professional photographers"!? Give a guy a 5D, and after 4 days or so, presto! He's a professional. It's a mad world.The ABC is I think conveying a terrible skewed, overly simplified and distorted representation of what is involved in dedicated landscape photography. ..............
I liked the 'winning' pic much better than the waterfall (which could have done with some cropping to get rid of the awful overexposed sky IMO). Amazing changing conditions if that was all filmed over a single 4hrs.
I do suspect that next week will be train wreck TV - weddings...ye Gods...
Anyway the show works, were talking about it.
Who in gods name has a tattoo of a lens grouping on their rib cage.....
Anyway the show works, were talking about it.
I believe that wedding photographers are probably (behind war zone press folk) the most courageous of the whole craft and business.
There have been a few pieces posted here and there on the 'net about the unreal expectations of the wedding couple, the attempts by relatives to steal prints one way or the other, the lack of any consideration of the photographer and his/her assistant (one photographer, when not offered any sustenance of any kind but being expected to not leave the scene, sent out for pizza delivery)
Not to mention gear failure, the difficulty of tactfully getting Uncle Arthur and Aunt Flo to get out of the bloody way when the bridal pair are posing for their after wedding formal portrait, hassling with the vicar about where the photographer can set up and maybe using flash...
Once more: I'd like to see that.
The Photofinish link worked, thanks! Seems like a cool show. Is PF the same show as Master Snap?
Sorry, smart alec header from me, punning on the popular "Master Chef" endless series. I could called the thread "My Darkroom Rules" perhaps.
I'll be gleefully far, faw away from a telly set (but not Facebook <*grin*>) Thurs, Fri, Saturday and part of Sunday. Cuppla little chestnuts to be pursue with all manner of cameras in the snow in NE Victoria.
