Interview Jimmy Beech Alienskin

/in /by

Today the start of a new series you will find on my blog.
I’m always looking for new things to get the blog more interesting for you the readers, I know it’s always nice to see new images and read some tech tips but for myself I also always love to read interviews with people that I recon as being the experts in their area, so I decided to send out some interviews to people I think are very interesting for you guys and today the first in this series.

It’s no secret I absolutely love Alien Skin Exposure. Actually almost all my images have some form of color treatment from Alien Skin Exposure or DxO film pack, so when I was thinking about a new series for the blog with interviews with industry professionals my first selection included Jimmy.

Today an interesting guestblog by Leo Koch.

 

Hi everyone… Leo here with my second blog at Frank Doorhof’s website and this time I would like to write something about an older camera, the Nikon D1X.

 

The classic argument “it’s the photographer, not the camera” is very true. Just like Frank always says “Why fake it if you can create it”. However, sometimes, cameras do help to create very nice results. For example, you can’t create good images if your camera and/or lenses are taking blurry photos… you have to find a good combination to make sure your photos at least coming out clear and sharp, however, you don’t need “newest” equipment for that either. Some older machines, such as the Nikon D1X still give excellent results, much better than some new ones.

 

Some people are just obsessed on buying new stuff… Each time an iPhone comes out, there are people lining up with their older version to get the new version first, without knowing what exactly enhanced in it. Some photographers the same, looking at the photography magazines following the new models of the known brands to get them as soon as they are available… and some people just don’t give a damn about the new features or resolutions and hold on to their older cameras forever.

We all know Lightroom right?
But did you know that with the proper plugins you can get a lot of information about your Lightroom usage out of it?
