Photography facts and fallacies.

Four character response... 645z

Exactly. Have you seen how heavy that bastard is? It's a perfect paperweight. Overpriced lenses on an outdated overpriced sensor. Think spindle vs ssd or film vs digital

Medium format isn't a real DSLR

Plus, you know the whole large sensor more light argument is so old school.

My deepest and humblest apologies. I'll remove the comment about ken Rockwell

well actually i was refering to your comments about pentax. but this will do, for now

Another fallacy ,no serious photographer would attempt to use a mirrorless system camera for commercial work ,regards Nick.

And back in 2003... "no serious photographer would attempt to use a digital system camera for commercial work"

Another fallacy ,you cant take a good photo after ten am,regards Nick.

Got a chuckle out the preceding posts.

A couple more fallacies;

You need a high fps camera to get good sports photos.
Noise is always bad.
You'll never get shallow DoF and/or nice bokeh from a m4/3 camera
Third party lenses are always inferior.(Sigma has blown that out of the water)

1. I'm too busy to take photos today.
2. It's raining. I can't take photos.
3. My wife/husband/partner says I can't go out today.
4. I need a bigger censor. My mouth is going to get me in trouble one day. But the sensor on my camera is just fine.....

By the way.... Who the hell is Ken Rockwell? My gods are all on ausphotography..

Taking photo's is easy ((well this is essentially true)
Taking award winning photo's is easier(you just have to be lucky and in the right place at the right time)

In summary, nothing's true and that's a fact

[Nick Cliff]

I recall the comedian Tim Minchin wrote a song called storm which is about this fact versus opinion bit ,probably easy to find on youtube if you are unfamiliar with this song and want a laugh .I mention this in regard to ameerats post,regards Nick.

You can't get a good photo in auto!

JPG is better than RAW

How do I switch on RAW with my iPhone? I do take pictures of cats and selfies but I want more flexibility.

Follow these steps exactly for the leaked hack to enable raw capture on the eyephone. It was released on the net by an factory worker in China who has a mate that sells apples at a market.

Hold the eyephone in your right hand with your left thumb close to the power on / off button. Lower the phone slowly into a 12.5 litre bucket which contains precisely a 42.5% NaOH solution whilst depressing the power button to turn it on. Hold the phone and button in the bucket for 2.24 minutes.

Guaranteed raw eyephone.

Is that a fact or fallacy Rick? - you didn't specify

I think it is both!

substitute NaOH with H2FSbF6 .... better known as fluorium hexafluoridoantimonate(1-) .... and diminish the time factor by 2:23 mins, and you got a deal.
Not only do you get a raw capable eyephone... but a raw hand, raw eyeballs, and raw bones just about everywhere else on your body too. A right proper cleansing.

Could be easier to switch to Android's latest playthings that can produce proper raw images ... that still look yuk!

Yeah, I never quite got the pixel chase with mobile phones. Yeah, now you can have pictures that are 5 times the size and still look crap, and you'll still upload to Facebook at 1024x768
