    Post _____Greatest and known photographers of present and past.

    Hello!

    Tell me about greatest and known landscape/nature photographers who photographed on b&w. Color photos also interesting! I shall be very glad, if you will be a reference on web-page.

    Your opinion is important - this page will the textbook for young photographers!



    Yours faithfully, Andrew Shtativ

    Greatness and fame (and even good photography) don't neccesarily go hand in hand.

    Shtativ,

    I understand that you do not know English well, so you are not expressing yourself fully. I cannot answer your question. You should look elsewhere for an answer to what I think is a sincere but naive inquiry. Some of the forum members who have replied previously are idiots who are addicted to the Internet. Pay no atttention to their drivel. They probably cannot shoot straight photographically or otherwise. They are mocking you. At the moment, I feel ashamed to be in any way associated with this forum.

    Shtativ is getting his revenge - the above "Russian" is worst than any mistake done by Shtativ. "Some people not humor"... hmm. Some not even good sens...

    Andrew, the "great" and well-known photographers are usually easy to find in the library and other common references. Sometimes, lesser-known photographers are equally interesting and inspirational. There have been a number of discussions on similar topics in this section ("On Photography") of the forum. Reading some of these past threads will likely turn up many good references.

    If you are using the "Unified View" to read posts, you may find it easier to click on the Large Format Photography Forum link at the upper left of the page, and then scroll down to the "On Photography" section.
