"peter Geran" wrote in message news  Quantity...........Not QUALITY More does not alway mean BEST . Of course it doesn't.

Whether professional photographers are discriminating in their gear selection varies from photog to photog, but I think it's fair to say that the pros selected by their various world-wide companies/agencies to cover the Olympic Games are not likely to be those who make sloppy photographic decisions. Now that...should be logic you can live with. "Mark M" wrote in message news:K2DWc.99694$Lj.60834@fed1read03... "Chris Loffredo" wrote in message ...

All my favourite photogs (Martin Paar, HCB, Walker Evans, etc.) are famous for their sublime sports shots. My ultimate wish is to photograph people playing overglorified games... Look up "sour grapes" in the dictionary, mate.

says... "PhotoMan" wrote in message ... http://www.photomalaysia.com/forum/i...wtopic=569&hl= No Nikons because these guys/gals are not after superb quality pictures. They only require a quick shot good enough for a front page of a news paper. I think its also well know that the Canon lenses are lighter to carry/run around with........which they do much of the time even though many are shown in the rigged mode here. dj Hahaha!

http://www.photomalaysia.com/forum/i...wtopic=569&hl= What a bizarre set-up. So many cameras on remote control, a trained monkey could have taken usable shots. Maybe this type of thing is why some sports photographers get paid so poorly, and have largely ****ty "all rights" contracts. Where it the skill and creative vision?
