Motion pictures have severely influenced my photography. Pictures in movies are generally very well thought through and well executed. Here's a list of my ten favorites.
A few shots from this past winter, which was very cold. Nikon D200 with a Sigma 10-20mm or a Nikon 17-55mm.
Trying to make money photography is a very long shot. The market is so saturated with quality pictures at extremely low prices that getting a foothold is close to impossible.
The dust problem is one of my main "exaggerated problems" with DSLR's. Judging from the online debates, many camera owners do nothing but shoot white walls at f22 in the pursuit of dust.
...very small, that is.
No, it's not like I shoot film. I did go 100% digital the moment I acquired my first DSLR. But my photographic upbringing was in film, and that still marks my way of thinking and shooting.

A trip a month or so ago. Dusk and the Nikon 70-200 made this possible at 100 ISO. Nikon D200, Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR

More fun with the Sigma 10-20mm. You can decide to control the extreme perspective or just let it loose. Nikon D200, Sigma 10-20mm
