You don't need the latest and greatest to get a sharp picture
Jul 8, 2018 08:31:47 #
This was taken with my Nikon D7000 and my original G1 version of the Tamron 150-600mm shot hand held. So many times I see people insisting on buying the latest and greatest camera equipment thinking their pictures will just jump in quality and detail. A lot of the time what would make a bigger improvement would be better technique and proper camera settings. Many times I see people that I know buy expensive new equipment and get the same results and they just can't figure out why. If the person using the equipment doesn't know what they are doing, spending a lot more money on new equipment really won't make much difference. I will take knowhow and ability over fancy cameras and lenses any day.
I have seen some pretty bad photos from very expensive equipment and some outstanding images from a cell phone, which pretty much makes my point.

First day in photography school we used a shoe box and a piece of 4 x 5 film and got excellent results.

I recently became the current caretaker of a 5x7 built between 1897 and 1903. Put a new lens on it and been having a ball. All you need is good glass and a better eye.

I agree with you all the way.
Would like everyone who post a
Photo to show what their settings they used.

I like your photo.
Wasn’t your Tamron lens the very latest and greatest just a few short years ago?
Please don’t take this as disagreeing with you. In fact lenses from Canon, Leica, Nikon and many other manufacturers were taking equally sharp photos over 50 years ago.

I totally agree. But I still hope that by the time I die I will have grown into my very expensive camera. I love the challenge. And love the camera. And your photo is beautiful. It’s obvious that you know what you are doing. Very nice. 👍

Have you check the price of pins lately? I take my pinhole camera everywhere I go and win contests left and right.
