Well I have been an avid reader of luminous landscape site in the past, not because of the gear but because of the trips they did around the world, it was nice and always linked with great photos from around the world, that was until recently...
It seems now everyone has to pick a "side" in Digital SLR "wars" and Luminous Landscape has been infected with the cool aid drinking bug, before they were less gear centric, but now they seem like a soccer player with a big sponsor logo in their shirt... the A900 has been the center of their recent articles pushing hard to tell us the camera is good, while it is up to each one opinion to decide which camera and brand works the best for them, I really think that pushing the A900 cool aid in more than two articles is nothing more of a blatant brand addiction and pushing :/.
The thing only gets worse when they say that in a recent trip some EOS 5D MK II failed and the only A900 didn't... by the way they took the cameras to ANTARTICA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarcti… yeah the south pole...
In this article www.luminous-landscape.com/rev… they explain the video function and cry on how the cameras failed, but the lenses he talks about and used are lenses without ruber gaskets to seal the sensor chamber so to add insult to the injury not only they expect a 2,699 camera to behave like their 1D and 1Ds counterpart -which are fully ambient sealed not partially sealed- in the friggin south pole, but also they used lenses that lack the sealing rubber to avoid moisture and dust to enter the sensor chamber -which is where all the guts are-??????
They drove me off with the G10 vs digital MF comparison -they seem to be learning from Ken Rockwell- but now this? I would expect a little bit more from a bunch of dudes who have lots of years under their wings, I mean if we take 25 A900 and 25 5D MKII we could reach a conclusion on the problems they might face in Antartica, but even so it is stupid why would you carry a 2,700 bucks camera with poor weather seals to fucking Antartica????
So yes another site to the bullcrap list to not read anymore....

Theft and manipulation: or I HATE DA
:fork: So this person decided to destroy my photo without even asking if it was OK to do it http://maccrlz.deviantart.com/art/Fotoshopeo-Photoshoping-141117812 he notified me AFTER he totally trashed the photo...
And you know what? I´m SICK of this shit!!!, I´m sick of the stupid ass disrespectful commentaries to the models, I´m sick of battling with every fucker that thinks that he can grab any photo here and do as he/she please with it without any consideration of the fucking copyright laws and the Berne convention, I´m sick of Imbeciles fucking up the body of women showcasing them in unhealthy and plain moronic ways (a

UPDATE: Take your time to read this Journal entry: http://genlisae.deviantart.com/journal/26540458/ this will be a generalized problem for professionals who post their work here.
If you followed my latest rant I was not pleased at all to see that DA implemented sharing buttons for Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc...
It seems there´s a large response against this shitty decision: http://news.deviantart.com/article/89464/
http://hq.deviantart.com/blog/26526897/
They seem committed to the stupid idea of telling people that sharing this stuff in twitter, facebook, digg, etc. Is a good way to promote yourself with other people and this is an
9th anniversary huh?
well I guess they could celebrate the HDR/sisterhood of joined shoes/emo/goth/dark photos, Mega boobied/furried/mega naked pregnant/etc. drawings or any other aberration a uber hormone teenager can create, well if that´s what they are celebrating I pass ;).
Or perhaps they are celebrating the transformation to the blatant "Ur ARTSIT bUY OWR STUFFZ ZuWSCribZ TO b mOOR ARtWIst! bCz buttON ZayS SuBMT ARTz!"
Maybe they celebrate that the Deviant mobile thing in the submission system has been all the time an opt out instead of opt in as well telling people that I NEED a subscription (something I don´t want or need thank you).

What a week (hard drive horror story)
Geeeez no matter how much organized your back up system is there´s no way to avoid panic when your HD decides to go kaput the day you have programmed to backup the latest stuff you have in your drive!! that´s what happened to me 2 weeks ago... and from there it was hell! the disc was working fine until the computer gave a blue screen saying the atapi driver was causing conflicts, the computer restarted and BOOM! the HD couldn´t be read by XP.. just great!... after that I told my brother (computer wizard) which helped me a whole lot!!
I have to say: I love freeDOS and XXcopy, it was thanks to this proggie I was able to save mos

I have no idea what you wrote, with regard to the technicalities....but I'd like to see the writers of this rag survive at the South Pole without all their innards protected!
