ABSTRACT
Many enthu si ast photo graph ers will often concern them selves with the type, brand and model of camera used to capture good photo graphs, appropri at ing as much credit to the camera/lens as to the ability of the photo grapher. “What camera/lens did you use?” has subsequently given rise to the conven tional advice that “it’s not the camera, it’s the photo grapher.” Both of these view points contain some levels of truth – tech no logy is optim ised in the hands of those that know how to use it, but the same tech no logy also creates oppor tun it ies and afford ances in particu lar situ ations for its users. There are prac tical and import ant reasons
as to why one would choose a DSLR over a large, tripod-mounted medium-format film camera, over a smart phone camera.
