Re: Met Art Wolfe
The #2 guy will be our own Mark Roberts, who's done a book called The PDML from too Damned Close, featuring photos of Dr. Pepper bottles and guys standing around and staring at camera lenses. Did those dr. Pepper bottles have homade beer in them? jeepgirl - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: Met Art Wolfe

Re: Met Art Wolfe
I suspect the reason he prefers zooms is the nature of his shots. When you're dealing with a flock of birds or a frolicking bear, you don't necessarily have the time to change lenses.

If you don't know, this is his website: http://www.artwolfe.com/ Started talking a bit about outdoor photography, so I asked him What's your favorite lense? He asks, What camera are you using?

I was kind of surprised that his favorite lense right now for 35mm is the super wide angle zoom 17-35 mm. Next favorite 70-200mm zoom. In his opinion modern pro-grade zooms have advanced to such a degree that they are equal to primary lenses. He prefers them for composing. His results obviously speak for themselves.

Re: Met Art Wolfe
True, but in his book The Art of Photographing Nature (get it Art hahaha) he describes how he likes new high-quality zooms because it gives him the ability to crop and compose easily and quickly. Not necessarily because the subjects are moving. Incidentally, I am extremely jealous. Art Wolfe's book has helped my issues with composition. My exposures were perfect but my compositions sucked. Art Wolfe (and John Shaw) taught me how to slow down, and see the whole picture and take apart each element to improve my composition.

RE: Met Art Wolfe
Actually I think what he is saying is what a lot of wildlife shooters say about the difference between primes and current zooms is that the results are indistinguishable between a fast 200 prime and a pro level 80-200 zoom at 200mm. Not to say they don't have some differences but that they can't be seen on the film they are shooting. I know in my case I can't tell the difference between shots made with my old Pentax SMC 200/2.5 and my current Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 at 200mm. But remember these guys aren't talking about using zooms in place of 300-800mm primes but in place of 200mm and under ones. Except in the case of digital when an 80-200/2.8 zoom would be used instead of a 300/2.8 prime due to the multiplication factor.

If you were to learn one thing from each set of pictures in that book and apply it to your own photography...well, you'd be a pretty darned good nature photographer when you finished.

I'll bet he's using that 100-400 IS (or whatever it is) quite a bit. I'd use it too if it were free... On a side note, Art Wolfe was a speaker at Grandfather Mountain Photo Weekend a few years ago. The implication here is that if you come to GMPW *this* coming year, I can absolutely gaurantee that there will be someone there who will talk about nature photography and will show actual pictures.
