Comment on What is the best camera for different types of professional photography? by David

David — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:46:59 +0000

I’d like to respectfully contradict the advice iCan offered about lens choice. The cameras are fine, but the 24-70mm fitted to a camera of this type does not offer wide angle. 24-70mm is a good focal length range on a full frame or 35mm film camera – wide to short telephoto. On a "crop" sensor camera like the Pentax K series, it is equivalent to 36-105mm which is too long for many tasks, though a good portrait choice.

Despite the shrinking place of film, many colleges still insist on training students on film, and including darkroom procedures. All 35 mm SLR and rangefinder cameras will do the range of tasks you referred to, but make sure the one you choose has full manual control – exposure,AND focus.

Likewise, all DSLRs are capable of handling all these subjects and styles. There is a case for a medium format camera for landscape and portrait photography, and with lighter, faster medium format equipment coming onto the market at around the $10,000 mark with one lens included, these are an option for some people (you did say not to worry about price).

As a working pro earning a decent living from each of these areas of photography, I find that full-frame DSLRs cope perfectly well with all these challenges, and even the top-end crop-cameras are perfectly acceptable tools.

Cameras aren’t set to photograph just a certain type of thing;
as in there is not just one kind of camera to take pictures of babies, and another for black and white…

It depends more on the lens; like using a landscape (wide angle) lens for portraits would be a bad idea because it would cause distortions in the persons…

If you are really into the photography; and are wondering about a good combo of camera and lens for those 4 different things; I’d suggest a Pentax K-5 (or the less expensive K-7, OR EVEN the K-r)… and a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.

The 24mm of that lens will give you good enough wide angle landscape shots; while the f/2.8 and 70mm end can give you sharp and great portraits (babies…)
And you can also make the camera take black and white photos in the camera; or you can just edit the photos later on and add black and white to them.

Any 35 mm SLR or digital SLR can shoot any of those subjects.

Black and white photography really requires you to use a 35 mm SLR to produce black and white prints using a darkroom

Before you spend $700 on a dSLR, $900 on a super wide angle lens for shooting landscapes and $500 for a portrait lens for shooting portraits and babies, talk to your instructor and find out if you need a film camera for the first few semesters.

NOTE: Professional photographers use Nikon and Canon systems as the basis of their photographic tool "kits"

I just gave this recipe to some one else. But here it is again. I swear it is so easy and good. I make it for my kids.

1 box of stove top suffing mix. ( we like chicken flavor)

1 lb of ground turkey. ( or lean beef if u like)

thats it.

Make the stuffing mix on the stove top recipe. but only use about half of the water it says. you want it kind of dry. Put it in a large bowl, let it cool a little bit.

Mix in the meat. Shape into balls. Bake. Done.

I usually keep some frozen veggies. and just microwave a serving of it.

It is the easiest recipe. and everyone loves it. You dont have to add spices or do anything fancy. The stuffing mix already has all the lfavor.
