I've been reviewing older photos and trying to make sense out of what I'm discovering. That stuff I shot years ago on odd cameras like the Panasonic GH6 (above) looks as good as anything I'm shooting now on higher res, more "capable" cameras. It's a little bit disheartening to discover that the old stuff looks just as good as the new stuff. In some cases better.
Kinda makes me realize that it's easier to waste tens of thousands of dollars chasing new tech when the old stuff is just fine.
Hindsight is always so much more accurate than contemporary thought. But really? I probably wouldn't have changed a thing...
There's the pictures and then there's the fun of playing with different cameras. I figure it's ok to enjoy both.
ReplyDeleteDo do agree, your blog seduced me into m4/3 some years ago and whilst I lust after bigger sensors and more pixels, I realise that what I have is probably all I need. Problem is that these things get lonely and have to keep getting more little friends to keep them company 🙄

ReplyDeleteAround 2012, your enthusiasm for the Olympus OMD and other M4/3 cameras helped me find a solution to my problem of being unable to carry heavier cameras due to arthritis. A decade or so later, after a trip to Fuji land, your writing once gain prompted me to investigate the Leica Q cameras. And now I'm the very happy owner of a Q2 and a Q3 43 (along with a couple of Fujis) which are likely the last cameras I'll ever own. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAround 2012 your enthusiasm for M4/3 helped me find a solution to the problem of not being able to carry heavier cameras anymore due to arthritis. A dozen years later, after a side trip to Fuji land, your writing got me interested in the Leica Qs and now I own a Q2 and a Q3 43 which I'm very happy with. So I, for one, am quite grateful for trying many different cameras!
