Hello Matt,<br><br>

That's an intersting perspective on shockphotography, though I think photography, and especially shockphotography, is too subjective to simply say that it does or doesn't do something to the conscience. You might not be shocked by a skinned monkey, but the fact remains that many people are. I for one, am not disturbed at all while looking at this picture of a skinned monkey, but more am I fascinated and intruiged by the the creative thinking, <b>the brainchild</b>, which in this case is also rather a bit shocking... I find the esthetics of abnormal things very interesting. Wheter it be in the universe, animal behaviour or photography.<br><br>

So Matt, you have any favourite "shockart" photographers ?

Dear fellow photogs,<br><br>

There doesn't seem to be much interest in shock art photography here on photo.net, am I wrong ?<br><br>

For me personally, I find that good creative shockart can be more intruiging and arouse much more curiosity than

some nicelooking landscapes, for instance.<br>

So people, who are your favourite shock art photographers ? Perhaps posting a photo with your comment is

interesting :).<br><br>

My little kickoff:<br>

- Andres Serrano<br>

- Terry Richardson<br><bR>

A teleconverter simply externs you focal length to 1.4x or 2x.

So if you have a 200mm lens, with a 2X teleconverte, it now is a 400mm lens. And with a 1.4X teleconverter it's a 280mm lens. You also loose a stop or two, and mostly a big deal of the imagequality
