Yes, precisely the same as mine.

Why bog yourself down with unnecessary technicalities - your work speaks for itself. With results like what you post, you don't need to know any more.
It won't make you 'better' - probably the reverse if anything....
You may not see yourself as "pro" but your work most certainly is.
And that's a fact.


Thanks very much, Bob. You're very kind.
The fact is, should I become a professional, chances are I might be asked to do photo sessions that require use of equipment and techniques that I don't know about.
So here's why I'd need to get an education that covers the techniques that I don't own yet.

Understandable but sometimes it's the case that a perceived lack of knowledge is not in fact the case - you may have been using various techniques, specialised or otherwise for years without actually realising it, and as time goes on, you get so used to doing things in a certain way that it becomes automatic.

When something becomes automatic, you no longer have to think about it and tend to lose awareness of how specialised it may be - think of what you were like and how you felt when you first started out as a graphics artist compared with now....

As an artist, you already understand natural light, you have many years of photographic experience, you can select equipment for a given job and it's more than obvious that you can use that equipment to the full without fumbling it in what could be considered a fairly stressful and fast moving environment.

Whatever techniques you feel you need to learn, are easy compared with what you've already learned.

What's more, you have the all important "eye", and no one can ever teach you that....

I'm stunned. Exclamation
I can't pick a favourite out of all of them.

T* is the famous Carl Zeiss coating.

I've forgot to congrats Orio for those great captures and sharing with us local events at their best, but it's because I'm lack of english vocabulary to describe how nice I they are.

Neither do I some month ago, so please don't apologize Wink

Some words about it (and the Zeiss company history) :

Yes, T is ancient Zeiss symbol for Transparenz, which was how they called their coating system.
The star is for "multi", so T* = multicoating
When you find only T (in old lenses) it means single coating.

There is an intersting thread on photo.net about T* coating and labeling on the lenses :

Orio, I'm looking for your Flek 4/20 pics and finding all these that I've
missed! The colors in these, they just pop! Excellent series!

Excellent work. Very impressive.

Thanks. The Carnival is the paradise of the photographer. Unfortunately it only comes once a year.

Orio, I've been trying to find your Flek 4/20 shots, such as the "Thermal"
building, other buildings and interiors, to show Ron (Schnauzer).

Whenever you can, no rush. Wasn't expecting you to quit your job or
anything. Laughing

It's a fantastic series that really showcases the lens! OK, and your skill, too.

I was hoping if I keep thumbing through the back pages I will find it here
and you won't have to.
