Lovely, the Rum Cuillins make a great backdrop. Were you using a CPL in #5?

This is only part of the poll. Over 100 people have been asked, this forum is the only place people have heard of him. I had hoped for a bigger response from here. You may be right, there may well be a divide between those 2 groups of photographers, the general public is another group again. I...

It wasn't...

Again, good points. A straw poll last night of family and friends indicate that 0 out of a dozen people had heard of him but 9 had heard of Prior. That's about 90% of those asked not having heard of Glyn. For me I think it's a no brainer. Glyn Dewis is apparently doing an event in Scotland...

I see your point but I guess I am doing comparisons against someone who actively markets to the general public across Scotland.

Yes 'we' are in contact already and both sides have the date pencilled in. Details just need to be discussed and approved.

Yes we need to get a better understanding of what he can provide and make sure it is predominantly photography based if that is who we go with but to try and get an audience of 500 people there in the first place is my immediate concern if people don't know him.

Of course I had an opinion before I started this poll. Nothing that has been posted as a result of this has changed that so far. Ive yet to see anything that would convince me that he would be a good choice for the evening. With the poll figures standing at around 78 to 8 not having heard of him...

All through this I've been doing a comparison between Glyn Dewis and the likes of Colin Prior or Charlie Waite and can't help thinking that any of the 2 latter names on a flyer or local press are going to attract considerably more interest than Mr Dewis.

I like the second one in colour. I'd prefer to see some more definition/contrast in the mountains at the back though.

Yes the processing isn't natural enough for me. Number 1 is running down to the right but that's easy fixed.

The speed limit of the SD card slot is 133x or 20MB/s I believe so if your backup plan is to shoot simultaneously to both cards then that is the speed you are restricted to. Getting faster cards than that is overkill for that purpose.

Thanks. As good as he may be it doesn't sound like the sort of thing the general public would pay to see which is my worry.

From what you saw, would you guys say he was more Photoshop orientated then?

He's not someone I've heard of before but he is being lauded and put forward as the guest speaker for an event I'm involved with. A quick poll around photographers I know had never heard of him before so I am opening it up to a wider audience to see.
