Couple of years now since I found Ugly Hedgehog – I read the posts nearly everyday – view the photos – make the occasional comment – post the occasional pictures.
From all this I believe I’ve learned now what’s best in the world of Photography and feel I can share this knowledge with everyone!
1. Film is better than digital (even when scanned & digitised)
2. Digital is better than film.
3. Black & white is better than colour.
4. Colour is better than black & white.
5. Full frame is better than crop sensors than M4/3 than 1” than point & shoot.
6. Crop sensor is better than Full frame than M4/3 etc etc
7. M4/3 is better than all the rest.
8. Point & shoots don’t get another mention.
9. DSLR’s are better than mirrorless.
10. Mirrorless are better than DSLRs
11. One zoom lens is better than 3, 4 or 5 prime lenses
12. One prime lens is much better than any zoom lens.
13. The more expensive a camera is the better will be the images.
14. The bigger and more expensive a lens is the better will be the images.
15. White lenses are better than black lenses.
16. Black lenses are better than white lenses.
17. Its better to shoot RAW than jpeg (and tell everyone you only shoot RAW)
18. Its better to shoot jpeg than RAW (and don’t tell anyone you do)
19. Its better to post process than adjust in camera (and you must use Photoshop/Lightroom)
20. Its better to shoot SOOC than RAW then you can’t post process properly
There are other issues I don’t yet have a complete handle on – smart phones, BBF, expose to the left/right/centre, Bokeh etc etc. but I’m sure when I do understand it all I’ll take much better photographs. I might even post some.
