    I received my 907x 100C last month. As a Leica user, I found that the lack of IBIS is not an issue at all. The key difference lies in the aperture size (I shoot wide open a lot), and the 907x can be challenging to shoot in low light without a tripod. While it is a slow machine, I have had a lot of fun with it. The autofocus is sufficiently fast and very precise with the XCD 55 lens. However, I still love shooting with my Noctilux 0.95 + M11-P much more for general purposes. The build quality and the feel of manual focus are on a different level. In terms of image quality, the 907x is technically better but not much difference, it is clinical and lacks characters compared to Noctilux 0.95. In low light handheld conditions, the Noctilux 0.95 is incredibly enjoyable to shoot with, and I cannot find any competitors for the image quality in this situation except perhaps the X2D with IBIS.

    Really glad to hear your opinions regarding the mixing of color and black and white images within a single project, as that is pretty much what I’ve been contemplating of late. Not so sure when (or even if) it’ll ever come to pass, but it’s nice to know that will be an option.

    Ted, thank you so much for reviewing our zine "1K radius" and giving us such a wonderful critique. We really appreciate your time and effort. Mail time is such an amazing series. There is so much inspiration and so much to learn from. The quality of the zines, books and photographs are really impressive. I hope you keep doing these videos, because they are not only helpful for the people who send you something, but also for the people who watch these videos. I also would like to mention, that I value your opinion. I don't think your critique is too harsh. You always explain why something could be improved and never leave your critique unexplained and always treat the work with respect. That is something rare and I hope you won't change the way you review these works.

    Barry Thornton was the guru of sharp. He made sharpness an esthetic unto itself. There is nothing wrong with this. In fact, Thornton had an entire philosophy of photography which included a theory of human perception. Many of his photos are striking works of art. Obviously there were others like Weston and Adams who demanded sharpness. Yet, lately I have found myself drawn to the work of Sally Mann who uses large format equipment capable of great definition and yet intentionally incorporates techniques which invite randomness and imperfection. Her images are beautiful and mysterious and challenge the viewer to bring their own powers of interpretation to bare upon the work. She has proven to me that sharpness is empty if it is merely sharpness for its own sake

    Your composition videos have me realizing you're good. That being said, I'm reminded of the joke: How many photographers does it take to change a lightbulb? 10. 1 to change the bulb and 9 to tell the first person how they'd have done it better.

    Brilliant Works of Old Towns and Busy Tourist Spots But The Most Unique The 1 Km Radius Project It's Like A Movie Running Through Your Mind Just Instantly Makes the Whole Movie By Small Premise of The Book Brilliant Work. 4:06 Indeed Every Street is Same. 9:17 Why is nothing written on footnote I think it delegitimise the ethical nature of human interaction with just snapping pics randomly. 12:48 Very annoying to read long fonts on the page.

    Not when it comes to art. Not being true to your own instinctive judgements is far worse, for you and them. Can some possibly be more harsh then others with critiques? Sure, but that better be there concerning art. Some artist's want it, some don't. Some giving the critiques sell out their veracity to try and make as many happy as possible, because its about some money or ratings goal. Always about them choices concerning art, choose wisely.

    Since you didn't talk about it. My response in a resounding No! To the contrary, I perceived it always (and I watched all of them!) encouraging and instructive! Were I to live in your area and seek a teacher, I would knock on your door in a heartbeat! which leads me to my appeal: Please, please, please keep the viewer mail ! I photograph for four decades. I have read many photography books, and magazines and, since available, videos. Only recently I bought a Canon R, and I soon complete that with a good pc and a Canon ImagePROGRAF PRO-300, for me serious investments. The reason I trust my photography to justice such a commitment, is the confidence I developed into my photography by watching your viewer mail videos! I think it has to do with the fact that most viewers who send you mail are not professionals and often face challenges, often similar to my own. Seeing these photos reviewed by you, often provides me me an invaluable new perspective my own work!

  • @clairerobinson2006
    @clairerobinson2006 3 дні тому

    No they are not. No doubt you bring your own perspective and experience but you always give your reasoning behind your critiques. This is all we can ask of anyone offering a critique. It’s up to the receiver to process the points given, and accept or reject them as they evaluate their own work. This is part of the learning process which is pretty sterile without outside expertise or opinions.

    I've been watching your videos for over a decade. Your critique is always constructive, never destructive. Ultimately, it is up to the creator of the art to take that critique the way you intend. I think that if someone takes the way you break things down personally, they aren't looking for critique, they're looking for cheerleaders.

Thank you for introducing me to different artists. I hope it is possible to get more videos that are similar to the artist series or the AOP assignments. I know they probably are not the most profitable but I would love if there would be more of this again. Anyway. Love your channel, and I hope are doing well.
