A Bit of Bragging for Jon Cornforth

amazing pictures. I just fell bad aboout every picture I have every posted. the underwater work is amazing. the sunlight behind the sockeye is beyond my words.
 
Well, there are 2 types of photographers: point and shoot, and those who make great pics. The more you learn in the point n' shoot class, the more you appreciate great pics. Takes a talented eye and lots of practice. Obviously Jon has a wonderful talent.

His camera has a 21 megapixel capability. The comment does nothing to detract from his pictures, but makes our 5 mbpix seem paltry.

I know many professional photographers up here in Alaska and Jon produces, hands down, the best work I've ever seen. He works extremely hard at it and spends a great deal of time away from home and family. He confidently takes his CD22 out for weeks at a time, in weather most of us would shy from.

Yes,. Jon is a very talented professional with the best equipment and the outcome is beautiful and a joy to view, but it sure doesn't make me feel bad about any photos I have posted nor do I think the many who do choose like us to post photos need to be concerned at all about measuring up to this kind of combined equipment and talent. Tom, I have enjoyed viewing your album many times and its provided more enjoyment to me then the professional photos of Jon's and that sure isn't a put down to Jon's great work. To me its just a apples and oranges thing and our album photos and his professional photos are just that in comparison. Maybe a professional can, but for me and I believe most others to fully enjoy the experiences like cruises and gatherings we share here in our albums a happy medium must be struck between the process and time devoted to capturing images for self and sharing with others and the pleasure of the experience.

I hope I didn't set off a camera type/brand or skill set holy war.

My intent was to just give kudos to Jon, a talented and dedicated photographer.

Being a photographer wannabe, I have enjoyed his work both in print, and in the digital media.
 
Wonderful photos. Those take more than a "good" camera, or even "good" tallent. There is study, training, practice (experience) and patience and patience and patience and planing and patience and ........... Nice work, a craftsman in light.

Thanks for sharing Steve.

The cameras , skill, and talent that are involed to produce are such fine work is beyond me at this time. I truely enjoy going thru Jon's web site today. I have been fooling around with photography for years. I just have never had the combination of time, money, freedom and dedication to make it my first focus in life. I understand what it takes to produce such fine work and its a lot more then money for gear. every photo avalable for purchace is the tip of a iceberg made of thousands and thousands of photos that just did not work out. I truely enjoyed being able to go thru jons work. :thup
 
Steve,

Thanks for sharing this site and I look forward spending some time viewing all the images

If you haven't posted the link to your images, or done so lately, you should so that everyone can enjoy your fine work as well.
