Look.

Thats not classy dude, and it is far from the high road you are trying to take at this point.
Let me quote you again.
"Not impressed - sorry. This is proof that it's not the camera that makes the picture....it's the person behind the camera."
Now unless my interpretation of what ya said is wrong ya essentially called them untalented and yet not even relate to technique, but "The Person" behind the camara.
That is without taste nor class.
You're better than that and saying such of folks that paved the way for quality content on the internet, ya got a big set of ball's or you are just stupid.
Which is it?
I been inside there section, they are shooting almost daily to at least 3 days a week. Some great stuff in there. Maybe ya should buy some respect for yourself and critique the work rather than calling a photographer more or less untalented.

Mark,
Anybody who comes to this board bragging about their product being shot with a $20,000 camera and then posts pictures that look like that....needs to hear the truth. Unlike you, I'm not going to blow smoke up their ass and tell them how great their work is when it looks like shit. I have an opinion and like you...I have the right to say it. Maybe you don't agree with my opinion and that's fine with me but as you can tell there are many other here who do.
This has nothing to do with competition or who is better than who or who can "smoke" who. If they had posted some great work that was shot with that camera I would have been one of the first to congratulate them on doing a great job. But instead, they post pictures that look like they came out of a Walgreens brand point-n-shoot digital recyclable paper camera and expect us to be impressed because they were shot with a $20,000 camera? Are you impressed by that Mark? I'm not...sorry. I'm also sorry if you were offended by my statement.... "This is proof that it's not the camera that makes the picture....it's the person behind the camera." Anybody with any knowledge of photography would know that this statement is 100% true.
I have mad respect for Matrix for what they've accomplished over the years but even the best companies can't stay on top forever. There was a time when their material was the shit but lately things have gone downhill. Even your buddy abyss_al
thinks so.
Lastly Mark, you posted in one of your earlier posts that perhaps the photog just had a bad day and that's why the pictures look like crap. Hey, if anyone can relate to that...it's me. Actually, anybody who strives to do good creative work on a consistant basis can relate to that statement. We've all been there. But I don't think this is the case with these images and if it were, Asher should never have posted those pics bragging that they were shot with a $20,000 camera. This is GFY and if your going to post pictures here, you'd better be ready to take the negative as well as the positive
