    1. @zach121k It's tough to make it in the entertainment industry, gotta have a lot of stick-to-it-iveness, but if you have the gear and the know-how, people will seek you out. Gotta have thick skin, though. Unless you're lucky, the first few gigs are always the hardest to get. It's a rough ride, but if you're serious about it, you'll make it happen. Don't even have to be good, being good's just a bonus. There's all sorts of bad audio engineers, photographers, and cinematographers out there who are making a living at it. If you're better than them and not getting any gigs, don't stop, keep pushin'. Like I said, tough industry, thick skin, keep movin' and you'll get somewhere.

    3. @zach121k wow I really love your "sunset over the summit". The way the orange sunlight comes through the tree is beautiful. Great work!

    4. @zach121k Have you considered going film? You can get sooooooooooooo much more camera for the price if you go film. A 35mm Canon EOS3 can be had for $200, a comparable DSLR is about a grand. I went film a while ago, and haven't looked back. If you shoot black and white, developing your own negatives is hecka easy.

    5. @zach121k Negative scanner! A good negative scanner will set you back about $400, but you always have the option of getting prints from your negative. I could go into the details about analogue film, but I don't think anyone wants me to.

      1. @engelhardt I'm actually interested, but I won't request that you fill up the timeline. I honestly thought that "They" decided film was dead and its price would shoot up as it became more and more rare.

    6. @zach121k I can't really comment, I do portrait and concert photography, that's what I know about. To me landscape photography is just 'Yep, that's stuff that's outside'. I like camping and hiking, but I'm so not into landscape photography. If you give a camera to a professional and to someone who's never taken a picture and told them to do landscape photography, I'd have the same thing to say about both of their pictures. Which would be 'Yup. Those are trees'.

    7. @zach121k I have the same opinion of it as I do all landscape photography, which is 'meh, not my thing'. I can't say it's bad, or if they're bad, because it's not my thing. Based on the virtue of that, of it being something I'm not into, I don't like 'em.
