(1) William Moorefield says:

My biggest photography problem is dust particles lodging in a lens. Why can’t a lens be built where the business end can be screwed off to clean inside the outer lens. Finding someone to clean a lens is nearly impossible, and then the cost can exceed the cost of the lens.

Now everything goes to digital. My biggest problem is to find a software which is easy to use. I really don’t have time to learn photoshop even the element version.

My biggest pet peeve is people who add digital framing to a photograph in post-edit. Framing on digital art does not bother me. My other pet peeve is people who post way too many photos of similar shots where all they did was shift their feet. I’d rather see a collection of very different images.

(4) Liz Mitchell says:

I shoot lots of live musicians. While I do get great stuff from most subjects (patiently waiting for eyes to open +/or faces to move away from microphones), it can be difficult if a venue’s spotlights are poorly placed. Or is it the musicians? Bands have there spatial relationships which are hard to change and the sound is the thing for them. Yet it’s not usually possible to move the lights, certainly not during a gig.
