I believe you need a key light, like the highlight on the guitar Gwyn is showing.
The first 3 zoo series of these are also low-key link

ps. I'm not sure either so please correct me if wrong.

I actually asked that question on another forum and later here, specifically about the distortion

The conclusion for me was that you should shoot at the distance you want to view the photo at to get the most natural look since the distortion on the print is the same as real life. Like you said it's not the lens but the distance that make the distortion.

But it's fun to see someone making it with a brand of camera that you own, it works a bit inspiring maybe, at least that are my feelings.
And proud off course like Paul suggest.

I've read you original comment a bit wrong
I thought you said low key things i need etc..., so low key is in nothing fancy since I didn't notice the question mark

Gladly some are awake here with the advice you need

Does it need to be digital?
the 645 and the 6x7 film had some better known shooters I believe or have shoot with it at least.

Sam Haskins is one I know.
There is also that crazy Japanese guy... will look him up and post his name if I can find it.

edit: oh wow found it really fast, typed in Japanese Photographer in google and google actually make the search suggestion to add his name, Nobuyoshi Araki.
His photos have sexual content so you've been warned.

Here is the same topic on anther forum link

Here is the link to the strobist site that I meant link

Yes that's the flash, it's only just out and as far as I know no members here have it so you must search the net for some user feedbacks and reviews.

edit: oops I mean this link

Robbie I was serious, I only wanted to help you.

To be honest, yes it gets confusing.
And I've learned from John and others here (forgot their names sorry) that's very wrong to assume things in English, they got mad because I assumed something that wasn't the case
They only got slightly mad and not really but you get the idea.

So English seems to be a great language on the net but it seems to be so amazingly hard to use it right certainly with native speakers around.

No I've nothing to sensible to add on your original topic and I was not planning to since I've no experience with either model.
Funny enough I read no comment that goes about those two specific models (which we must assume one) in your thread so why are you picking on me?

You aren't even reacting to the comments of the other members, not even say thank you or show any form of interests. All you do is make a comment on my comment and talk about me, I must be very important to you or something like that?

Too long I think and to little change of wining a free subscription.
What about one every 3 months and the winner gets a free subscription, 4 time more change that way

Don't worry everyone has that, It took me 2 months before my first decent photo

Just hang in there and don't let it get the better of you, that's the only advice I can give you over the internet.
If you could meet up a photographer you know (someone of this forum perhaps?) for a walk/hike for example then certainly learning might go faster and you get tips on the spot and direct feedback then.
Photography club could also help if you get the right club that is and sadly that seems to be a hit or miss

Equipment have little to do with this all, since you can have everything there is but if you don't know how to use it it won't help you and most equipment have a specific task which helps you only with specific shots.

Danny as far as mine understanding goes about trolling, it's Tim that's doing it on this page.
I was very serious with my answers and question so I doubt it falls under trolling.
Although some answers you gave me weren't so maybe you're trolling?
To be honest I don't care but I don't like it if someone is accusing someone else for something they help to happen.

Danny it was you asking that question while you took it out of context and saying I am the one wanting a resistive screen instead of a capacitive one while I didn't say that at all.
I only said that some people might want to have a resistive screen instead of a capacitive one and this was in the context of having a choice.
People sometimes want things because they think or feel they are better for them or they are accustom to it, something like UV filters for protection for your lens.

Since you asked it I just thought to be nice, go with the flow and give you an answer regardless how you changed things.
The only good answer I could think off to get a resistive screen instead of a captive one is if you've a prostheses hand as far as I understand the captive screen won't work with that material so I'm basically saying that the captive one is the best touch screen off the two for telephones.
Hooray that means I think the iPhone has a good touch screen and indeed it was one of the things to get an iPhone for and I'm happy other phones are also getting it now.



Really no one should feel offended by this comment, I just think it wasn't fair what happened and that's why I wrote it. If you think I'm wrong then so be it, I only wrote from my perspective, my feelings and we are all different but lets not stand still by this since this is getting nowhere and certainly not improving things

I've had great talk with Danny a month or so back about... "this"
I've wrote a comment to Tim to also talk it out but I didn't get a reply on that and from then on he ignores me but sometimes he post flaming comment about me.
I try to response on those by making it into a joke with smilies and winks to show I don't mean it serious at all hoping on a same reaction back so we can all laugh and break the ice but well no luck, at least the intention was there.
