When you post your new models they now become somewhat breath taking! The improvements are quite obvious due to your ongoing "training-learning" how to become better as a "FINE ART MODEL PHOTOGRAPHER!" Both these ladies fall into what I would call "Fine art clean portraits!" Does the S2 make them better? NOPE! Oh maybe someone will argue? My response? "GET STUFFED!" :-) As it is still the human standing with the camera in hand! If not? Then the ladies photos maybe just plain old crappy happy-snaps! S2 or not! Instead of the beauty we see due to the "PHOTOG HOLDING AND USING THE CAMERA/LIGHTS!" Regardless of make or promo BS ? We are, that's us FOLKS that makes all cameras look fantastic! OR? GOOD! BAD! OR UGLY!" AND THAT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS WHAT SORTS ALL OF US OUT! and every camera! "the person holding and using the camera whatever the make, not ADVERTISING BULLSHII! " Don't ever forget it! It's us, we who make the camera work and LOOK GOOD capturing the interesting photographs! NOT JUST THE CAMERA ALL ON IT'S OWN AND THEIR ADVERTISING department BULL SHIT! Please excuse the language! :-( cheers, Dr. ted
