Have Camera Will Travel: Photography and fear
Paul Dymond has written a very interesting piece on his blog about his fears as a photographer. Not as in leaning over a cliff to take a shot, more about his style of shooting. It made me wonder about my style. Do I actually have a style? Hmm, I might throw a few words together about this later in the week.
If I do have a style, people will probably say this is it.

Stop wishing for that Amazing Camera and Appreciate The One You’ve Got
He is quite a good little article about people craving the latest and greatest camera gear.
All cameras have are essentially the same thing, a shutter that exposes light on a light-sensitive surface. Sure, there are differences in engineering tolerances and technical ranges and the latest technology. But Ansel Adams didn’t have today’s latest gadget. He had know-how, and practice.
Dan Dyer makes some good points, but I would argue that a person with a point and shoot will never be able to take a shot like this.
Yes, a composition like that you could achieve with a point and shot, but I doubt you can get a narrow depth of field like that. Also, the biggest bug bare with me and point and shoots is the shutter lag.
Have a read and let me know what you think.
