- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I read quite a few articles throughout the week, and two that I read this week were interesting simply based on their juxtaposition of differing photographic mindsets. One written by a quasi professional and one by an admitted amateur. The first compares a nikon D800 with a Phase One IQ250. I found myself shaking my head and thinking, "Really?" as the writer explains considering a move to a medium format camera because he believes it will somehow give him better color and composition.
The second article comes from a 16 year old, self proclaimed, aspiring photographer from India. This kid uses a D5200 and reverse mounts his kit 18-55mm lens to capture excellent high magnification macro photos all while sticking a piece of paper in the end of the lens to maintain aperture.
I thought the latter's focus on using what was available, and capturing excellent photos in both composition and lighting while making no apologies for his equipment will prove him to be a far more successful photographer than the former in every aspect. What are your thoughts?
