I lucked out yesterday and got to shoot my favorite ride, a cherry '52 Ford woody- nice. Right before that a friend asked me to shoot a large dragon sculpture she helped build, also very cool.
 
Just put a 4x5 neg into the fix. That was exposed an hour ago.
Last time I took a photo on medium/miniature was yesterday
Last digi/phonecam photo was an hour ago
 
Ive been in a slump too. I think Ive triped the shutter once in the last week. Even with a camera with me. I think it's the weather...TOO DARN COLD...But tonight were going to visit with the grand kids while their mom and dad go to a valentine banquet. They have 8 kids so it'll be fun. I'll take my camera.:)
 
about 20 minutes ago, i finally took the minolta 7s2 out for a walk with the dog. it's in the plus side of the temp scale so i could actually sort of enjoy the walk.
it's half snowing and half raining.
gotta love alberta weather.

So far over 40% in the last 8 hours and 60% in the last 24 hours!
That's great.
I wonder if the slackers just aren't admiting it?
 
I just got back from shooting for a client. I try to shoot something every day, if not for money then for myself.

2 weeks ago. I know, it's a shame.
EDIT: no...it's 1 week ago,actually. It was a "let's fill the last frame"shot. Two of them, actually.
 
Ah, this poll brings to my mind a very good question.

Does "practice makes perfect" notion applies to photography?

If it does apply, until what point? can you practice your way to the level of the masters like Ansel Adams or HCB or (insert your fave photog here)?

If it doesn't apply, why not?
 
Practice doesn't make perfect in any pursuit.

Practice of perfection "makes perfect." Practicing my bad habits just reinforces them.
 
a couple of hours ago I took a few Polaroid for a teching project going in my club. Before that of course some photo at Valentine of the dinner with my wife.
ciao, rob
 
Parctice always makes better, but by itself it doesn't make great. That requires a gift of something - determination, stubborness, passion, vision, technique ... It's different for everyone but must be there to excel - in anything.

I'd say no, because practice is just one aspect of what it takes to be a good photographer.
