One of our sons is currently on a year long climbing adventure through North and South America. The trip is totally self funded and at the same time he is raising money through donations for the Climate Council and Reach Out. He has also received sponsorship from various companies with camping and climbing gear and companies promoting adventure activities. Naturally these sponsors also wanted some high res images showing their gear or philosophy in use.
Now this son is not a photographer, but we have given him a DSLR and lens and some quick instructions on basic photography and camera settings. So far, the climbing shots he has posted have been pretty good. This morning I received an email from him saying that one of the companies which uses adventure trips for leadership training has said they wanted some Ansel Adams type images. No mean feat for any photographer - I'd gulp if somebody asked me for the same. Of course he didn't know who Ansel Adams was but googled to see what type of images they were talking about then emailed me asking for tips on how to shoot this style. Another .
I'll be interested in seeing what he comes up with. I think I may receive some raw images to process in mono shortly.
