On 30/1/11, William Robb, discombobulated, unleashed:
If a good photographer can overcome bad equipment, why is it such a leap
of logic that better equipment may well help a mediocre photographer to
take better pictures?
How about better equipment making the process easier/more pleasurable?
If the camera "just works better", then would it not make better
pictures no matter what class of photographer is pushing the button?
If equipment didn't matter, St. Ansel would probably have used a Minolta
110 since it would have been easier to hump it around Yosemite.
Totally agree.
Me too. Totally agree. When one has to fight with their tools during the
creative process, it sucks and it's miserable. To me equipment matters.
I've been sewing since I was 13, and I can tell you I used a lot of crappy
sewing machines when I was younger. When I could afford better machines, my
garments and textile projects improved, and I was happier, and I wanted to
sew more. With respect to photography, the K20D & K-7 are not the cameras
for the "under the el tracks" photo story I want to do. They are too noisy.
But I think the K-5 would work. It's a better camera--especially for a
project like this. Good tools matter, and sometimes certain creative
projects are tool-specific. Cheers, Christine
