you dont need skills or good camera to take good photograph. Just follow this setup:

1.4 f-stop lens at 50 mm. If still not close enough (Subject not big enough), add a +4 closeup filter.

All you need is just snap with finger.

ps. anyone ask me keeping aro and goldfish easy or not. My reply: very easy, just add water. happy new year

Maybe we can see some of your works?

Cheers,

Agree! Haha!

Is Earth easy to live in?

Ans: Very. Just breathe.

I think Tagore tries to point out that having good lens is more important then the other 2 points.
At least for me, it's a hefty sum for a f1.4 lens. They normally go into 4-figures.
A x4 close-up filter is probably cheaper but not that cheap either with reduction in sharpness as a punishment for going something cheap instead of going for a big zoom lens with erm, f1.4.
AFAIK, there is no DC with f1.4 lens right? I don't think there is x4 close-up for DC except maybe for Sony prosumer cameras?
So you end up buying SLR/DSLR which are at least better cameras?
Hmmm....

Skills rules .....

Good skills , normal camera = can achieve outstanding pictures

Lousy skills, good camera = still cannot make it.

This shot is the best shot I ever took. The moment is now frozen in picture. ST turning pic. A mixture of luck as well.

Hi guys,

A gentle reminder to stay on the topic.

Separate photograhy discussions are welcome and starting a new thread won't cost you a thing and give it more visibility.

I'll be pruning this topic to split out off topic discussion into a separate thread shortly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Cheers,
