鄭中基27萬的相機 惹出一堆“羨慕嫉妒恨”

這兩天，一篇名為《震驚了！》的帖子在網上瘋傳，該帖爆料稱攝影界鼎鼎大名的“大神Tinyeyes”的真身正是香港演員、歌手鄭中基，該帖子稱：“Tinyeyes是當年Flickr上最優秀的徠卡相機攝影師之一，與日本的TommyOshima齊名，

His photos have that typical Leica look but if you look beyond the interesting subject matters, the composition itself is nothing out of the ordinary.  He asked people not to judge him on his gears, but I would say many reasonably able photographers would have produced the same level of work had they got the resources and opportunities that he had.

Maybe there weren't that many Leica users on flickr at that time.  But nowadays you can find photos that are much more interesting.

Anyway, that discussion is pretty lame, creative people can use anything to take a good photo.Look4chrisng 發表於 2010/12/20 10:04

This comment comes up over and over again and there's some serious logical flaws in such arguments.  A skillful photographer with a cheap camera can produce better images than a newbie with an expensive camera does but for the same photographer, there are always tools that he would like to use the most  that would produce the kind of images that he seeks after.  Statements such as it doesn't matter what camera you use is pure nonsense.

Of course the photographer is more important, but that's no reason to discount that gears don't matter.  Sometimes you have two equally skillful photographers but the gears set them apart.

I agree with this.
I personally have never used continuous shooting ever in my life, but some people can fire 10 frames/sec and pick the best one out of 100.

focusing accuracy, depth of field, noise, sharpness, smoothness of bokeh, color richness,

say arnold cheung's photos
even if you have the same composition in mind, but because you have a $200 compact in your hands and not the noctilux, your image will never look the same

I was referring to the related discussion regarding you need a expansive camera to produce good images.

yes, you don't "need" a good camera to produce good images, but you would definitely produce MORE good images if you had a good camera

I am not sure what you are trying to argue.  I am saying by having the best ingredients, you can have more possibilities and choices to make good dishes.  But you give me a particular dish that's made of cheap ingredients and claim that you don't need good ingredients to cook good food.

What I was saying is that in certain situations where you have two equally good photographers standing at the same place shooting the same scene, it's the gears that set them apart.

why don't you use a lomo to shoot that scene and try to sell it for 3 million?

so does the camera matter?  how about use your cell phone to shoot that?
