Large Format Photography - 2010 Survey

[bjdejong]

Out of pure private interest I have created a short survey on large format photography. The objective of this survey is to get an idea on the current usage of large format cameras. The survey runs from December 1 till December 31, 2010. The data are collected out of private interest; there is no commercial intention behind it. The results will be announced on the http://www.largeformatphotography.info forum and published early 2011 on http://infocast.nl.

If you use a large format camera, I would highly appreciate if you could spend the time to complete this survey.

You can find the survey at: The Large Format Photography Survey

In case you have questions, please let me know.

With kind regards,

P.S. For the survey I use a free survey facility. This facility is being paid for by some advertisements. I hope that these do not bother you to much.

As long as it is anonymous I have no problem with it.

The data may be helpful to someone contemplating offering a new LF related product.

Anonymity does not exist online.

When you access any website, they can log your IP address, OS, browser, and various other information.

With some browsers (notably IE) the website can install various tracking code and malware totally without your knowledge.

You best believe any survey site knows every trick in the book to extract the maximum information possible, so they can sell it. That's how they make their money, not by some mini-ads that the visitors ignore.

Dear all,

Let me start wishing you all a very creative and healthy 2011.

With the start of the new year, the 2010 survey closed, and I can start to draw up the conclusions. For all of the 196 participants a special thank you, your replies provide a very interesting insight in each others preferences. It will take probably a couple of days to properly summarize the data. As soon as I have done so, I will publish a link to the report on this thread.

With kind regards,

Barend Jan

FWIW,

I've only 'clicked' on url's to sites and never 'clicked' on anything inside the menus, AND i've received email from sites saying they noticed that I viewed their URL, and would I like more information?

EVERY mouse-click you make is being recorded by someone - somewhere...

The same goes for your cell-phone, everytime you turn it on, you are leaving your 'mark', and your territory is discernible.
