I shoot with Canon 5D Mark 11. My lenses are 50mm, 100mm,24-70 2.8,70-300mm, 400mm. All Canon lenses. I shoot what ever appeals to me and most everything does. I travel a lot so most of my work is street photography, although I always give the person or child money since many of the countries I travel in are quite poor. I do some work on films,as well as wild life sanctuaries

4 I AM : Hi: notice how the colors pop? they are there but the sun puts a shine on many photos taken so it's always good to adjust brightness for what you actually saw, or of course desire someone to see in your work. I knew the color was there and saw it in my minds eye. P.s. I love your site. 4 I AM

abunden : I have been a member of FAR for nearly two years and contrary to their claim it is a place to sell your work I have never met anyone on the site that claims to have sold anything. There is frequent discontent from members on the sites forums over issues ranging from cheating in competitions to biased and unfair reviewing, these remarks are often removed arbitrarily by the sites moderator Tom and people are expelled without the right to reply for expressing opinions about the site that he doesn't like.
FAR is supposed to allow members to receive reviews about their work from other artists and photogs but in my opinion has little to do with the furtherance of the arts. Reviews have to be paid for with 'Member Dollars' earned form reviewing other peoples work or by buying them with your hard earned cash. To get say twenty five reviews you will spend an average of about fifty dollars promoting your work, this equates to roughly 80 reviews you must right if you choose to earn them or fifty real US dollars if you pay with real money. I see FanArtReview as a mere a cash machine for its owners, you will need to spend a great many dollars in order to get more than two reviews per picture and even then most are not informative in any way.
The site is dominated by incapable photographers clambering for the no. 1 rated spot and artists looking to massage their egos. Take a look at the poor standard of work frequently displayed on their home page as 'Todays Well Received' and the appalling standards of work their top ranked photographers portfolios and decide for yourself before joining.
To achieve top status as a ranked photographer or artist on FAR needs dollars and not ability, the 2011 top ranked photographer often spends $100 US a day promoting her work.
This site has some MAJOR issues with security too, they claim to protect your images and to stop them from being downloaded (stolen) by others but anyone that can log on to the internet can gain access and download them directly on to their own pc.
There used to be many reviews dotted around the internet from former members telling how bad this site really is but they are disappearing and one can generally now only find reviews that praise the site. I seriously doubt the authenticity of these reviews and put it to the sites management that there is more than a feint whiff of hypocrisy in working to remove these reviews. Any fool can start a website but a cleaver man will react to his critics.
HUGE NUMBERS OF MEMBERS HAVE LEFT THIS SITE IN DISCUST AT THE WAY IT IS RUN - AVOID FANARTREVIEW LIKE THE PLAGUE.
