Rob,
I have been visting your site since last year..... you are amazing to say the least!
I wanted to know if you have ever taken classes or went to school for photography? Self taught? Or are you just that good? I would beleive it! There are a few post on here that I saw about you getting pemission on produssing the military photos, good luck I would perchuse them in a min! Anyways, I just started working in a studio (Sears) and was looking at getting a "real" digtial camera (have a sipmle one) of my own and taking up some classes so I could do this on my own with more freedom. I was hoping that you would offer some advice on whats out there as I noticed you use different cameras. I was looking at the Sony Cyber Shot.......I would appersiate any advice you could offer to some one getting started. thank you..

Rob,
Fantastic eye! Living in your neck of the woods and being a full time photographer myself (not a camera store employee), I've had the priveledge of working with the greats, John Sexton, Bob Kolbrener, Brad Cole, Kim Weston and others. Let me say, you've got the eye!
Great composition is anything resulting in an aesthetically pleasing image. Anyone not willing to break the rule of thirds and so forth needs to go back to Brooks! I've stood on the very same beaches you have with everything from a DSLR to a 4x5 and have had hardly as much success creating the artwork you have. Fantastic job!
As far as the noise, who cares? I look forward to seeing your prints as I can only imagine them being 10 times as brilliant!
Very Best,

Hey Howard,
Get a clue and get a life. Rob's photo's are the right stuff. The perfect picture is solid white. No noise, no unwanted action, everything centered. The thing that makes a photo so great is not the perfection of the shot, but rather capturing the reality of the moment, with warts and all.

Howard,
Please locate a large amount of sand and pound it.
Thank you.
Howard,
Thanks for your insightful review. Your quick recognition of ISO and compression artifacts is astounding. Combined with the comment of composition on this gallery of "seconds" leads me to believe you are a fine art critic. Leave no doubt Howard, I shall immediately throw my equipment into the sea. Thanks for leaving a link to your work also.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi
You have a wonderful camera known for very low noise and high resalution. The lens are the best, however you have too much noise (basic 1) and you post every out of focus image you have. I would look at most others on this site and practice focusing and boost up jpeg quality. Too say nothing of composition.
