    This actually inspired me to finally rip apart a DVD drive for the lens. It's awsome... make a little metal clip for my BB so it can slip up and down but always be ready.

    He have one very good point.

    There are just too many photographers out there that have professional rigs, but either don't know basic composition stuff like rules of thirds, or just don't know how to use the whole setup.

    I mean, nothing is worse than seeing an expensive dSLR owner using it ONLY in full-auto mode...

    Of course the ideal thing would be having all three:
    1. Creativity
    2. Knowledge
    3. Equipment

    You don't need all three to get great photos though... but it is in order of importance, as I see it.

    The best camera is the one you have with you. Which is why I bring my DSLR to work with me every day.
    I have an iPhone 3G, and it is seriously the worst camera I have ever used in my life.
    Dear Apple, please add a hard button to take pictures.

    @suburbancowboy: Add a hard button? As long as you don't have to take the audio jack off to press it. Never fear, Apple won't phallus.

    Were the pictures altered/enhanced in post in any way? Not that I'm putting doing that down, if they were. You can pretty much have access to the same tools as the pros do nowadays free online, so there's more hope for the rest of us.

    @GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: You can alter a bad photo to make it better, but no amount of altering will make a badly composed photo into a great photo.

    I checked out the iphone photos he has online. I see this as proof that it's the photographer not the camera that makes a good photograph.

    How long would an object like that be in the field of view? And how many pics a second could his cell phone take?

    I am also very interested in the super secret gizmodo image analysis. What did you do to determine it was "a real photo"?

    Definitely not a sundog as they are stationary and don't "race through the atmostphere".

    Ive seen a few absolutely huge "shooting stars" in my day, one was while on vacation in the Carribbean. From start to finish, it took about 5 seconds.

    Assuming i had my phone handy, and I was very very quick, its possible to get off a shot I suppose.

    that being said, im extremely skeptical.

    Not a meteor, It's a sundog with an arch. I'm not a meteorologist, but an astronomer, and have seen many of these. They are caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. Heres a link [en.wikipedia.org]

    Too little too late.


    I just buy used off of Craigslist. The savings over new can be put toward the Brand B flash that doesn't work on the Brand A camera.
