Another Doctor?
I seem to be photographing a lot of doctors and surgeons recently. People might start to get the impression that I just have one set of medical scrubs and I’m simply dressing up models 😉

Either from a artistic or a commercial point of view, sometimes you want to show people in the shot, sometimes you don’t. Photo editors can be very specific with their requests “I’d like an image of x at dawn with no people” or “I need a landscape shot of z during the day showing tourists visiting but no identifiable faces”.

The U.S. price for the Pentax 645D has just dropped a massive 1800 dollars. This may tempt some to jump from full frame 35mm to something a little bigger, it also could be seen as an indicator that a Pentax 645D II is on its way. Rumors are it could be 60 megapixels, a larger sensor (although not FF 645), and priced significantly higher than the original 645D.

Joseph was always the second strongest kid working on the farm. The other boy was the son of Jonathan and Martha Kent.

I was talking to a student on last weekend’s Photography Fundamentals workshop about the importance of varying your shots. If you’re taking pictures for yourself it will add some interest to your photo album. If you’re working professionally, it will give photo editors and image buyers more options. Sometimes they need a photograph in a particular orientation, at a certain time of day, and shot from a specific angle. If you’ve only taken one pic, the chances you’ve got exactly what they’re looking for is going to be very small.
