the executive summary: Bungle73's a muddle-headed wazzock and therefore wrong.

He's started this thread to basically tell any photographer here that unless they're doing things his way, they're wrong. I'd say that's fairly inflammatory myself.

If that's what he did, it's kind of childish as opposed to inflammatory.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Me too ,at least on my 300 mm .

To me, 300mm lens photography is cheating.

I thought it was time for a new inflammatory statement.

You've blown it now.

What awesome power in these two hunt and peck index fingers.

I don't see the point in fancy cameras with optical lenses these days. My phone is 26 megapixels with a x30 zoom.

...and a tiny tiny sensor.

I just wear a hood and sketch things instead.

I wear a baseball cap in the rain, but never backwards. Nowadays around here, the only people with baseball caps backwards, are 14 year olds; or undercover police officers.

A phone doesn't come anywhere near to equalling the quality of even a budget DSLR, no matter how many megapixels it's got. Have a look at this website, and compare the sensor size of a phone to any DSLR - the difference is enormous:

Not to mention a DSLR lens outshines the one a phone by about a million times.

Oh and is that "30x zoom" digital, as I suspect it is? Digital zoom gives a completly rubbish picture.

Camera phones are probably more than adequate, though, for the photos that most people want to take: friends at concerts, babies, the dog, the picnic at the beach etc.

out of curiosity how is it for getting a cop's shoulder numbers from 50 yards?

Brilliant. Just brilliant. I couldn't have done it better had I written it myself

They never seem to show up for some reason

First off - I question the validity of a lot of online 'reviewing'.

Second: would you give up your Lumix etc in favor of a camera phone?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I'd just like to say here that anyone who uses HDR is a wanker. Also, Instagram. And film rules.

It's only on easy mode that they have numbers on their shoulders.

I think you're wrong about that. HDR done wrong is no good. HDR done right can be excellent.

A couple of my best images, both HDR:

Soooooooooooooooooo......just because something is on YT it means it's "no good", huh? Even when the person in it is an authoritative source? Please.................

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I feel quite bad about taking the piss stroke being deliberately abusive now.
