Red - I can only speak for myself here but I don't mind helping someone out with some very generic type photography questions. However, some questions about a certain technique that I may have used to get this look or that look...I may not be as comfortable discussing. I have techniques that I've developed and fine tuned over the last few years that I'm not willing to discuss with other shooters. Who wants to spend years fine tuning techniques and learning new skills just to hand it all over to the first guy who asks..."how did you do that"? I know that we are all out there trying to make a living but the bottom line is that you and the person that your asking advice from might be competing for the same dollar. You really shouldn't take it so personal
