Hi,
My name is Sean Shadbolt and I work in Auckland as a full time professional photographer and Lecture part time at the Manakau institute of Technology in photography and using Photoshop - mostly to beginnners , so I don't claim to be any sort of Guru here.
I use a veritable arsenal of equipment from a 4"x5" view camera and Linhof panorama to a Canon 1ds2 and Imacon 132c back on a V series Hasselblad. I also scan film on an Epson 4990 which I find does a very cost effective quality scan for the price of the scanner - particularly off larger formats.
I cover quite a range of stuff - food and still life /product work ,industrial, portrait and corporate work, I also use a lot of different styles as my clients require.
I have been following this site for some time and look forward to excanging information here. I subscribe to a couple of other forums but I like the liveliness of discussion here . I used to frequent the Rob Galbraith site an dlearned a huge amount there - especially as the new digital technology came on stream a few years back . It wasn't quite a case of which end do I look through of a Kodak DCS760 - but almost! The debate really helped me get up to speed with things like colour management and dealing with printers when the weren't optimum - still an issue sometimes.
