I've never shot Ms. Ashley but I know of her and have seen more than a few pics of her. I can relate shooting her with shooting Tera Patrick, whom I've shot many times. It was hard to snap a bad pic of Tera. That, of course has all to do with her and so much less to do with me. But yeah, I get what you're saying. :-)jimmydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250574229270573468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-32545684005485066172014-09-11T14:17:10.481-07:002014-09-11T14:17:10.481-07:00Jimmy, the STIE can be just as rewarding to we hob...Jimmy, the STIE can be just as rewarding to we hobbyist as you pro's but of course in a personal satisfaction way rather then a financial way. This last spring I had the golden opportunity to shoot model Liz Ashley in a workshop. It could be argued that it is impossible to shoot a bad image of her, i.e. I could have used my old Argus C3 to capture a great shot...but I didn't, I used my D800, with my 85mm f1.8, with my camera and picture settings, with my composition and pro that she is, with my modeling directions. One of those shots is now matted and framed large on my wall. It is 90 something percent SOOC and tad Adobe CC. Every time I pass by it I say to myself..self, ya did good..and it motivates me to keep-on-a-keeping on. Point being here is that one good STIE, for pro or hobbyist, is reason enough to keep working toward that nirvana called "just getting it right it".....Winston Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415017831178942186noreply@blogger.com
