I make my living (at least most of it) with a camera.

Mainly these days i shoot video and i have lit many a movie set. Photography is painting with light. And it is the light u are capturing. Understand the light... take better pics. i also shoot stills for fun, news papers (the few that r left) and as my art. But i have been in the moving picture trades for quite some time.

i too am going kicking and screeming into the digital age. i love the "post" i can do, but a good film camera was as good as the lens u shot through and the film u used. Now with digi, everytime a new higher pixal camera comes out, it seriously devalues what u had, and as a pro, no one whould want me to shoot an "old camera" but when i shot film (i still do) i had a collection of tools from the most modern 35mm cameras i used for things like sports to 30 year old medium format cameras righ to a 4x5 that was built in the 1920's

i own a broadcast quality standard definition vid camera, but when i need to shoot HD or digi stills i rent for the job. and motion film is always a rental.

smokinbass Reviewed by smokinbass on . Any photographers here? Any photo heads around? Pro, amateur, semi, whatever? I'm thinking of seriously delving into it. I never really had the time, aside from when I was younger, to really explore. I have an old Canon AE-1 that my father gave me years ago. I need to get some work done it on it though. THen I have a Minolta Maxxum 370si which I've used here and there. I'm shopping for lenses for this one as I only have a basic 35-70 for it. I'm trying to find something (lense) with a good all-around range and Rating: 5
