Mike,
I think there is a fair deal of my frustration with myself here.
Just back on WPF after months away and some images taken with flash leapt out at me. Mark ( mw aurora ), Christine ( Saphire ), Duncan and Debbi ( yelvertoft & Mrs). So I jump in feet first in Marks thread ' Anyone want to reverse engineer an image? ' with a yep I'll have a go at that then.
BUT ..................... I appear to be suffereing from creative photographers block. Seriously frustrating. So off I went and did the Nikon lens mount thread in the hope that would do the trick, but not yet. So when I saw a post that suggests a particular camera, and it could have been any, over all others is the answer then I guess I bit. Mark and Christine use Canon and Duncan and Debbi use Pentax but it was their vision that created those pics not the camera brand.
So I guess I was striking back for the photographer over the kit, even though I am failing a bit on that score at the moment.
Got the kit but imagination gone on walkabout.
I realise that for certain applications like Astrophotography ( Dave and his 20Da ) you benefit from a bit of specialist kit. In terms of kit each of us makes our choice based on all sorts of factors, and a market that caters for a wide product range is good for us all. In time we will all become quite heavily invested in a particular brand and brand loyalty is a fact of life. We all like to think we have the best be it cars, cameras, or whatever.
Good kit will help us take photographs, sometimes great kit will help even more, but it is the photoraphers imagination and skill that creates the masterpiece, and that really was my point.
