Great article Jon,

I think this is why I like #cflive and the meetup. Sometimes it’s not what you get during the training but the friendships/business relationships you get after the meeting.

I met up with @MrTosh1980 for a wedding yesterday with 4 DSLR’s and we had a great time.

Kudos and let’s keep sharing!

Giving back goes a long way. Great article Jon. There’s another way to put it ‘Givers Gain’.

Thanks for having this amazing website and sharing like you guys do!

I know Jon helped me a ton, and still does. Nothing like helping each other out. It shows true professionalism and how mature the film making industry is. I hope to only be able to return the favor to someone else one day. “Pay it forward”

I feel like that sometimes in feeling like I ask too many questions. But you know ask and if someone can answer then they will. Sometimes you might not get an answer at all. I learned that the DSLR movement and I really believe it is a movement is made up of people willing to share their knowledge and enthusiasm.

I’m happy to help though I’m finally feeling like I know what I’m doing with my 7D. We shot an event with camcorders yesterday and I hated it

I’m really looking forward to seeing what Jon and Cristina come back with. There’s going to be some amazing footage.

Of course we’ll plug your work, well atleast I will. You along with Jon, Cristina and Mr.Tosh have been so helpful with all my (what I feel like is nagging) questions, that I don’t know how to repay but to push your names out there.

Thanks again to all of you for all of your insights.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. And coming from someone who’s just entering the DSLR field, I look up to all of you who have had far greater experience that I and can hopefully gain knowledge and guidance from all of you.

It’s amazing how things work out huh? I had just gotten a 7D after spending most of my time an an eng shooter and was out of my depth. Posted questions and asked advice on twitter and Jon was almost always the first person to respond with helpful advice and gear suggestions. We hit it off and actually have spent less than ten minutes face to face. But I know that I trust him with a hugely important job in a tough place to shoot. I trust he and Cristina both to help me deliver something that we think is going to be pretty special.

What Jon didn’t mention is that this is for an Ipad app which we are developing and I am hoping that all of you that I’ve become friends with in the DSLR world will help us spread the word about this.

Wait til Jon or I tell you about Haiti…

Thanks a lot. Yeah no sense in not helping. When you help someone else you actually understand it better yourself. Or maybe they do it a different way and you learn something there too.
