    One of the best at describing the process of creating a story with a photo. The reference to the potential (or loss of) for a sale is brilliant. By mentioning other respected photographers, you bring deeper connections to the craft. You clearly show that photography is a thinking man’s game. Bravo!

    Good point. I see it more of “borrowing” because these cameras and lenses preserve value really well. I once bought a $5000 lens and used it for a few years and was able to sell it $5500 used because the price of the new lens actually increased.

    Good information and well illustrated. The comment about not underexposing is a good one. I did a series of group photographs with bracketing set -1 EV, 0.0 EV, +1.0 EV. The 0.0 were the best but the next best were the +1.0 EV which still provided a good deal of color fidelity. With -1.0 EV and adjusting the Raw file in Photoshop there were color shifts as a result of too little data.
