Just a few questions to make conversation

12 years 9 months ago #119316 by Hamtastic
Just a few questions to make conversation today. To much to drink last night has me sitting on my couch today. :pinch:

1)How long did it take you to get your dream lens? If you don't have your dream lens yet, what is it?
2)Would you consider yourself a pro with photo editing? How long did it take you to get comfortable with editing?
3)Do you read about photography to further your knowledge much?

1. A year
2. Yes. 6-8 months.
3. Every day.

1. They haven't invented it yet: 8-500 f/1 that's no bigger than a typical zoom, and costs under $1000.

2. I make money with my processing, but there always seems plenty more to learn. It took me maybe a year to get comfortable with the switch from the traditional darkroom to Photoshop.

3. Constantly.

1. No. 600 mm although I would settle for the 200-400.
2. No on the pro part. I have always been comfortable with it but I learn everday.
3. I read about photography everyday.

Nope dont have my 600mm yet.
Not a pro, I started with Photoshop 2.0 doing mostly chops. I was at ease with it in 2 months.

1) I do not have it yet 85MM macro I hope to get it by November. I am sure once I have it I will have a new lens I am dreaming of but I just got my DSLR 6 moths ago.
2) no I hesitate to do more than crop, re-size and shrpen

3) all the time I just got one book and have another on the way and a list of books I want to order as $ permit, besides reading all kinds of articles.
