[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 112846, member: 3903"] This has been going on for as long as wedding photographers are there. When I first started working for a Studio here in Sherbrooke in 1968, there were still another studio shooting 4x5 with rapid pack and old type flashbulbs. The studio I was working for was using 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 Hasselblad and the amateurs were just beginning to use 35mm. My boss would treat them of all names and laugh at them, but time have changed and now everyone is digital, they used crop sensors before the FX and it seems that there is still an "equipment war" going on. Truth is, a professional guy will know how to place people in a group shot, will know how to use flash to improve the shot, and will act in a professional way with customers. Putting down the competition will eventually come back to bite you. There is no point in doing that. Just treat your customers good and fair, give them your best and, if your best is good enough, you'll get work and lots of referrals. [/QUOTE]
