  3. You’ve got some really nice processing techniques. I find that a lot of people are pushing processing (curves, saturation, etc.) way too far, but you’re keeping the ‘filmic’ look beautifully.

  4. Sounds like an oxymoron. Beat himself for a living. What kind of living is that?!
    The capture is great and important, I was never aware that such thing exists…
