That may be so, but it depends very much, what you want from your camera. For you it is the perfect
art photography, for me it is documentation.
I shot this Photo from a Toyota Landcruiser in the Serengeti
This picture shows my wife wiping out, when sand sledding (I would not want to have missed that one)
This Guatemalan turkey would not hold still until I was set up for the perfect shot. – no wonder the
natives have given these turkeys the same name (pavo) as peacocks (pavo real)
If I had had my new (point ‘n shoot w. image stabilizer) camera, these porkers’ portrait, shot through the
windshield of a moving taxi, would have come out much better.
Same piggies through the side window.
If I had not had had my point ‘n shoot in my pocket, but one of these more sophisticated cameras in a
tote bag, I would probably have missed most, if not all of these shots and thousands more like them.
I have made over the years quite some respectable photos of flowers and sceneries, but I would not
even trade the miserable shots of the pig transport for the best of these.
