******A Very Hard photography question****.possible answeres
by watto star - 7/15/07 11:15 PMFor Talking Sake:
Now, we have a really rich guy who isn't that good at photography but has the best Digital SLR in the world and he has the best flash with a 10.2 megapixle cout and the best lens in the world and he takes a photo with it....
Now, we have the best photographer in the world who only has a small crappy compaq didital camera with only a really tine optical zoom with a crap flash. This is the best photographer in the world, and he takes a photo with it.....
Who took the best photo,
its all up for debate
(by 13 year old Aidan-young photographer-please reply)
Not a question to be asked.
by Papa Echo - 7/16/07 12:07 AM In reply to: ******A Very Hard photography question****.possible answeres by watto starHow do you define "Best" ? Or in this case who took the better photo ?
The rich guy woud be limited by his own imagination and his techinqies and knowledge of the camra.
The other guy would be limited bt the camera's capabilities, compensated by by his great lnowledge of everything about photography.
So what is "best" in terms of: exposure, composure, use and play of light... ?
Maybe the rich guy can accidentally and unknowingly take the best photo, but the other guy would have to conciously work at it.
there is no way on knowing
by watto star - 7/16/07 12:16 PM In reply to: Not a question to be asked. by Papa EchoThere is no way of knowing who really took this photo but you do have a point, its really the person who operates the camera
Any Photographer can answer this....
by PatrickLynn - 7/16/07 12:27 AM In reply to: ******A Very Hard photography question****.possible answeres by watto starIt's not the camera, the the person BEHIND the camera.
Any Photographer can answer this....but can he spell?
by PatrickLynn - 7/16/07 12:30 AM In reply to: Any Photographer can answer this.... by PatrickLynnWhat I meant to say was......It's not the camera, it's the person BEHIND the camera.
Any Photographer can answer this...... V3.0
by Solar132 - 7/16/07 11:07 AM In reply to: Any Photographer can answer this.... by PatrickLynnWell now we know why the better cameras have image stabilization,,, does anybody know of a forum software package that suppports grammar stabilization ?? Unlike cameras, grammar doesn't suffer from high magnification (large Fonts) whew !!! (:-}
Seriously What are you going to use the camera for and how do you plan to deploy it?? High Zoom shots of landscapes implies you will be bringing along a tripod of some type... I am a Viet Nam era kid from a military family and spent 4 high school years target shooting in case I got Uncle Sams free South East Asia vacation package..... I can get zoom shots other guys can't touch without stabilization, heavy tripod.... etc. PRACTICE. Lastly NOTHING beats good composition you need some training and a good natural eye.
I have a Canon EOS ELAN 7 35mm 28-90 SLR, and Sony CCD-TR3000-64X HI8, used to have an old Minolta 201 matchstick SLR. The next thing I'm going to buy is Canon's S3 IS or S5 IS because it lets you take an any resolution still shot while continuing to shoot in the video clip mode. That's an invaluable feature for me - you don't miss shots of one time events - sports, parades, parties,
If Gun Control means hitting what you're aiming at what does camera control mean??

A man met a very famous photographer and had invited him to dinner.
He asked the photographer to bring along some samples of his work for his wife to see.
After finishing a delightful meal, the three people sat down to see the photographs the photographer brought.
The man's wife studied all the photographs and commented; "You must own some expensive cameras, to be able to take such wonderful photographs".
When the evening ended, the photographer thanked the man's wife for such a superlative meal and commented; "You must own some expensive pots and pans, to be able to prepare such a wonderful meal".

Your question cannot be answered.
by Kiddpeat - 7/16/07 7:50 AM In reply to: ******A Very Hard photography question****.possible answeres by watto starThe guy is rich. Does that mean he cannot take one excellent photo? Is every photo that the 'best' photographer takes the 'best'?
Who will decide which is best? Based on what criteria?

by watto star - 7/16/07 12:12 PM In reply to: Your question cannot be answered. by Kiddpeat..there is actualy no answere its just a thing to look at, i wouldnt look into it that much.

ansell adams had some 'rough' equipment 
if you don't have the "eye for it" you can have a $5000 nikon and no-one will say "WOW!"
on the other hand, a cheap "throw away" camera in the right hands will melt the heart of an angel 
wish you luck Aidan

Actually, even by todays standards, Ansel's equipment was
by Kiddpeat - 7/16/07 10:54 AM In reply to: according to todays "standards" by jonah jones
quite sophisticated. The type of camera he used is still used today by many photographers. Until very recently, it was THE camera which was expected in commercial and other high end photography.
His camera produced 8x10 negatives. He may have used even larger cameras. His lenses were very high quality lenses which had the ability to use an aperture of at least f64. His darkroom contained very expensive and sophisticated equipment.
He also developed a very technical system for determining the proper exposure and development of a print, and he was highly skilled in the use of darkroom techniques.
IOW, Adams didn't whip out a Brownie box camera when he wanted to make a photograph. Could he have acheived the same results with a Brownie? I think most photographers would say that the answer is no. On the other hand, there are very few who could have rivaled his results even with access to his equipment.
It's not so hard to answer...
by Pacu102 - 7/16/07 9:51 AM In reply to: ******A Very Hard photography question****.possible answeres by watto starA person with the eye, creativity and qualities of a good photographer knows how to deal with whatever what he has in it's hands. The mediocre photographer with a top SLR camera is limeted to his knoledge and creativity. My brother has an Sony DSC-H1, the firs one of it's class with 12x zoom, manual focus, super steady shot, adapter for lenses, macro, and other qualities and I take more and better picures than him, I know that camera head to toe and I know if the photo will lag or not the moment before I even press the button.
