Of course I've heard of them. Shaw is way more wildlife than landscape. And
Moose is way more known for his gear reviews, typing and teaching than his
photos. Both photograph a hundred critters for every tree or cloud.
Neither are purists in that they are using big fat DSLR's with big fat zooms
on the front. Its great they are not afraid to use tripods I find them quite
useful.
A landscape photog shoots way less to no critters. Tends not not take his
camera off his tripod and for sure using a larger format than 24x36.
That's been modified in the digital age with the price of medium format gear
to be people who are dedicated to it and do not consider it a passing hobby.
