The best camera in the world...

I love those grainy! :)
Beautiful shots.
Miss the days of spending time in a darkroom and purposely manipulating photos. Now it's a click of a button. :rolleyes:
 
If you click show, you'll need to set your internetz to broadband, but here are a few pics from our wee stroll along the shores of Loch Ness & her surrounding forest today.

Not really an exciting photo (taken through a chain-link fence with my SGS4)...but this 90' Northern Marine yacht was in the news a couple of weeks ago due to its tipping over when it was launched for the first time...a $10,000,000 mistake. You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEBJjsdTyWY#t=142

The boat has been finally pulled out of the water and put on the hard. It still wouldn't float even when fully ballasted. So now it sits as a symbol of failure and incompetence as the NTSB, the insurance company, Northern Marine (designer) and New World Yacht (builders) try to figure out what happened and assign blame (point fingers at each other).

Luckily, no one was seriously injured or killed during the launch.

Other than the classified NSA cameras, the Hasselblad has a good claim to being the best in the world ... 39MP sensor says it all.​

Please read the first post, not just the title of the thread.

39 MP sensor says nothing at all.

Brand name says nothing at all.

You having something - anything whatsoever - with you to take a picture when you need to and being able to show it to us here - that says it all, that's what this thread is about.

The best camera in the world is the one you have with you when you need to take a picture.

The best photographer in the world is the one who is there when a picture jumps out needing to be taken, who then actually produces a camera, and proceeds to take that picture.

This nonsense that says that you have to worship technology or be the most clever ain't flying in what this thread is about.

Every single person who has posted pictures in this thread has valid claim to being a best photographer.

Everyone who has, has used the best camera in the world.

Well said! :D
I'm a professional photographer by trade, third generation:
Moskovita Photography, Seattle / Tacoma, WA - WildLife Photography, Nature Photography, Digital Photographer, Webmaster
And know full well it is NOT the camera that takes good pictures... it is the person BEHIND the camera that controls that. The most expensive gear in the world does no good if you don't know composition, lighting, patience and knowledge of the camera you have in hand.

Some of the best pictures in the world throughout history were taken spontaneously with simple cameras. So, like this post is about, the best camera is the one you have with you! A very good example of this... three years ago, I was flying to Disneyland from Seattle and my Nikon's were in the bag above me and there was Mt Rainier in all it's morning sunrise glory.... what to do, what to do... grabbed my phone at the time, the Dell streak 5 and took some pics. One turned out to be one of my better photo's I've ever taken....

I was taking out the garbage, the sun was going down, and I spotted a mushroom looking mighty fine. We've had a ton of rain here in Minnesota lately, and mushrooms are growing everywhere!
I decided to lay down in the moist grass and see what I could get.

Absolutely stunning. I love pics from the air. Some of my favorites are from 30,000+ :)

Try to dig up one of my favorites...

We were on our way to St Thomas. Flight attendant said it was the Bahamas

It just hit me.

When I was a little kid - that was a long while back - they used to ask us every year what we'd do when we grew up.

If I'd ever said - fly around to vacation where James Bond went, taking aerial pictures with my combination videophone's built-in computer-camera - they'd have had me writing on every blackboard in three classrooms until after dark on account of the daydreaming and disruption in class.

Nice shot, NA!! :)
 
As I'm a newbie, I can't post any of mine yet, but I thought I'd drop by and say awesome thread! I have so many that fit the bill here, pics I keep because they're special to me, but I didn't really have a reason to show others... Well now I do :)
 
Why thank you Unforgiven :)

Can you tell what this is? ;)

My camera shook by accident but I liked the effect so ending up shaking it more!! :eek:


(I went to NYC with a great fare from MightyTravels and it was awesome!)
