[adrewine] ~ Around the World with Oly

[Yapster]

Thanks Tenelia.......hehe it is by choice that I choose to use the entry level cam and kit lenses (I was offered higher ranges)...........
It "forces' one to be discipline and understand the fundamental techniques of Photography instead of just relying on the fast lenses to produce........I once praised a guy for his good pictures but he humbly said that it was not his skill at all that produce beautiful photos but relying on his high end camera and the 'L' lenses.......

In short it was not his skills but his tools that does the job........

That remarks had set me thinking for a while.........

Please do not be fooled by my pictures taken with kit lenses.......it is really really not easy to shoot with them....there are often times that I wish I had the Oly flagship camera and those SHG (Super High Grade) lenses with me....it makes my task so much easier.........
I would only be kidding myself and others to think that picture IQ from a kit lenses would be better than SHG lenses but they are at least small, light and can produce better photos in good hands as compare with other kits.
So guys the next time when you are going fast on the road, are you going fast because you are a good driver or it is your powerful Ferrari car is speeding fast?
but of course when you are a good driver with a fast and powerful car you'll cross the finishing most of the time......just like F1 Formula Grand Prix's Micheal Schumacher......hehe.

:thumbsup: Fair statements on gears here.

Whatever gears & processing methods, can never replace the primary key, eye for composition.

And it is something one owns for life.

Thank you for dropping by my good friend, well said, cannot agreed with you more.

Keeping practicing and exploring new styles that you are comfortable shooting with............. I can see that you're soul searching at the moment and experimenting which is good....... always listen to your inner voice and follow that passion......

Here's a shot for you bro, taken in the rain with umbrella in one hand and camera in the other (for that few days I've became a one hand photographer).....most of my shots taken in Moscow were either in the rain or drizzle........ hehe ......I'm that crazy enough to shoot and even change lenses in that weather .......I know many of my friends would have just packed up their gears and stayed home......oleidi


Motion blurriness was placed in the foreground to add interestingness to an otherwise photo that has been shot to death already with millions of tourists from all over the world..........
