Seriously though, I've seen your work on your web page and if you need
any Photo 101 help I'm always ready to help beginners.

Gee I wonder who could use photo 101

Photo Tip #1: For the kind of photos you take, Shawn, you should
seriously consider buying a portable 4x5. Speed Graphics and Busch
Pressmans can be had on E-bay for a few hundred dollars, with lens.
You are already using a tripod, so the additional weight and
"slowness" should not bother you at all.

A 4x5 would be an interesting piggyback camera for astro work as well.
I haven't seen much of it, and I've seen very little (non-obsevatory)
4x5 work using the scope as a lens, but it would set you apart from
the crowd...

4 x 5 is fine for some pros. However I am not a pro nor do I ever wish to be
a pro. Fuji Velvia 4x5 including developing is around $3 a photo. I can't
afford that. Second I teach people how to work with photos with PhotoShop
and I earn quite a bit of money for it. I need lots of photos in its digital
form. Purchasing a scanner that scans 4x5 is very expensive and way out of
my budget. My next camera purchase will be a digital SLR. Only advantage a
4x5 will give me are larger prints and possibly better depth of field with
its tilt lenses.

PS in my local area I only know of a few pros that use 4x5 for nature
photography. One is George Humphries
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books
Who I have had the pleasure of photographing with.

The rest use 35mm and some are starting to go to digital. Ken Jenkins
http://www.kenjenkins.com/ , Tom and Pat Cory
http://hometown.aol.com/tompatcory/ who are judging a photo contest I am
chairman of, Harold Stinnette http://www.naturalimpressionsphotography.com/
Chuck Summers http://www.agpix.com/search_catalog.php?agid=summers402 who
gave a great presentation at my photo club last week and I will see him
again Saturday for the photo judging and Bill Fortney who started and is the
chairman of http://www.gapweb.com/ and is also with nikon all use 35mm and
many are switching to digital. There are very few nature photographers who
use large format.

Seeing the light and creativity will improve photography more then a 4x5.

More like that's good Photoshop work. You can make almost any photo look
good with Photoshop or darkroom tinkering.

At what point does it stop being an actual photograph? Its the same with
CCD images. They're more computer images than real photographs, where
Photoshop skills are more important than skill with the camera. Dont get
me wrong, I love my digital SLR, but there is also something about my
Nikon FM2 and my Bronica that will always appeal to me. They're honest,
and make you do the work.
