if someone cares about gear
he is probably not good enough

Totally agree with this. Some guys are need to hide behind their so-called "pro-equipment" due to their lack of "pro-photographs". Let them be.

On the other hand, sometimes when I bring out my DSLR, friends will mistakenly assume that all my shots will be "pro" . Just as disconcerting. :)

yes, hahaha
or if you carry a tripod around :dunno:
 

Not that I am bragging, my trusty D70s with my Sigma or Tamron (3rd party lenses) which I have just sold have put 10D, 20D, 30D, 1D, D2H, D80 (with their high end lenses like L's) photos to shame. So dun be bothered with their comments.


However, in the world of professional photography, pp need to carry big guns due to image. Big guns gave the clients the impression of professionalism. Hence every cents paid is worth the money. I am not saying that professional photography dun need big guns.

Some of my clients actually question me what cam i used. They were even asking me whether that equipment is good enuff until they saw my images.

By the way, nothing beats the old medium format. Still gives the best contrast and colour. The contrast is so different from digital.
 

Believe me or not..... this Photos are all taken with EOS 350D (EOS 300D Successor). He is a really well known photographer in Indonesia....
Really want to know what Those guys are going to say on this.....

So Don't be disheartened......Camera is just an equipment..... It is YOU who make the difference on the picture (Words from ANSEL ADAMS....).

wow, the link you provided
the guy really likes usin hdr to make his photos look out of this world

personal choice i guess, does not work for me though
that said, some of his non-graphic photos are still pretty good! :thumbsup:
thanks for sharing
 

Not sure what lens u carry but u definitely need lens that are more than kit to produce good photos. There are 3rd parties which are good. the Canon 50mm 1.8 is a damn good value for money lens

Canon kit is lesser than Nikon Kit. So nikon users dun fire me on this. Nikon 18 - 70 is a very good kit.

:dunno::dunno:
really meh

my impression is that you can produce good photos with anything
unless you want to blow it up, then need better lens
i disagree with you

who can tell with websized photos? :dunno:
 

Ignore them.Those ppl are just equipment whores
Its the person behind the camera that matters
Look at my Flickr most of the pics are taken with Canon Kit lens!
Proves you dun need an L to take good pictures

My opinion is based on my friends' images direct out of the camera. The colour is quite off. Gives a feeling of lack of colours.

Anyway, dun get me wrong and perceive me as a Canon troll. I am neither a supporter of neither dark or white sides since I use both systems.

lol photoshop is really useful to save the colours but if the original pic has poor composition no amount of pp can save it.Well you could add lots of effects in the pic and call it abstract ;p
Yaya i know u pentax supporter and take fantastic landscapes:thumbsup:
as for pentax taking over singapore:think:

If u hobbyist, u have plenty of time to tweak the colours. But if u are a professional, can u imagine u have to tweak few hundreds or thousands every week. Hence, lens is still an important component of photography.

And pls dun tell me the person behind the camera theory. That theory is just as good as the equipment whore theory. Both are extreme views. It is a combination of various factors that produce a good photos. My 2 cents.
 

haha wonder what they will say if the person use a FM2, leica.. etc film cam. :bsmilie: :sweatsm:

I think they will die laughing rolling on the floor if they see me using the most outdated Canon F1... I quit digital long time ago...

hahaha yes, was talking about colour

0.o
are you sure the professionals tweak so slowly
i remember ansel adams always tweaked all his photos in the darkroom individually
depends on what sort of professional you are, i guess
i'm not sure about the industry, so won't comment

yes, definitely a balanced view is best
with better equipment you can achieve MORE, that is undeniable
but with less equipment, you still can achieve something, that is my point

the person usually tends to limit the camera more than the camera limits the person
when it's free for all
unless you're talking about executing a preconceived concept
then that would depend =)
 

"An amateur practices until he gets it right. A professional practices until he can't get it wrong."

Just carry on with your shooting, you don't have to prove anything to this bunch of guys.
 

Just ignore those ppl lah, i always believe in good photographer that makes the cut. I myself just bought a new 40D to upgrade from my 350D, yet i tend to hide inside my bag and dun dare to show it in front of those pros or 'gang' becos i'm aware i'm not a "pro".:embrass:
