im not knocking cheap cameras... or any of the pics in this thread. some are great looking shots

have you ever owned a good camera?

a good picture can be taken with any camera, agreed..

but a picture with excellent quality, is taken with a quality camera...

if what you said was true, photographers wouldnt waste anywhere from 5-20k on setups to take photos... you think they buy that stuff for fun?

DiRT!

Its not always about the camera.

this is true, but put a $5k+ camera in an amateur photographer's hands and you won't be much better off.

cheap camera's are great for being practical, can be taken places you wouldn't want to bring your $5k+ camera/gear, and you can still practice your lighting/angles with them, even if they don't come out absolutely perfect.

photographer skills > camera/gear any day of the week.

I was referring to the part where he basically said good cameras serve no purpose...

I haven't contributed any shots to this thread. I was just bringing up a valid argument.

And for you info, my camera cost $4,500 in 2005 when I bought it.

More than half the cars on this website.

I only edit my pictures at times 'cause I like entering the darkside

Want a cookie? Why spend $4500 on a camera if you say a $150 camera can take great pictures with the right user and editing?

Never have liked you, and you have just further validated my point.

I don't have to explain myself to you. You worry about you, and i'll do me.

Lasty! How have you been brah?

Thanks for the reply.

I was shooting professionally for a while there and making some decent money. Had several other offers, but just gave it up after a while.

Still have all my gear, but don't shoot as much as I used to nor as much as I'd liked to.

I guess where I'm going with this is that I started with a point and shoot and slowly worked my way up.

Read, read, read & practice, practice, practice.

That's cool, but no need to say your camera cost twice as much as people's cars on here. It comes off as you bragging about how much money you have....

I've seen your pictures and know you take good pictures. I also remember you had your car stolen and definitely felt your pain as a fellow MR EG owner. I don't think I've done much for you to say "never have liked you"......

Back on topic.....

Canon A620, small tripod, Iso at 100, Outdoor sunny setting, exposure at 0, only edited saturation, brightness and small level adjustments on PS.

That wasn't my intention, and I apologize for it being interpreted that way. My camera cost more than my Honda and there is no shame in admitting it. The guy asked if I've ever owned a good camera so I want to get my point across.

One last thing, I have no money. LOL. Wish I did. Everything I've ever owned has taken a lot of hard work and sacrifice to achieve. (My Honda still isn't right from the theft as I do not have the money to make it perfect).

Anyways, back on topic. Nice shot and nice car. ^^

"Has nothing to do with the camera nor gear, for the most part at least."

next page...

"i have a $4,500 camera"


i can understand that the photog is more important... but my argument was aimed at your earlier post, which you completely contradicted with the above one.

if anything, its 2 parts photog, and 1 part equipment.. that, i can agree on.

any monkey can edit...
