Whoops, I’ve been neglecting the interwebs…
Wow, haven’t things moved on since last I deigned to type on here? I’ll bet you’ve all given up on me?
One of the most interesting things of late has been the debate springing up about the benefits of compact system cameras over those of what are becoming known as HDSLRs. Now me, I like the meaty feel of an SLR in my hands, but it’s got to be said that mere traditionalism might be a bit of a flaw. Because it came up on a book I’m working on, I know that a number of shots from an Olympus Pen made it into Hollywood feature Secretariat (a horse-racing flick). Now, whatever you might think about the steaming pile of Disney family movie that it was, that a ‘pocket’ camera can capture images good enough for a studio cinematographer is no mean feat.
