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.
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.
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.
10 foot waves in knee deep water. I can tell you I would be running in sheer panic with my camera entirely forgotten. 6-7 foot waves in stomach deep water is scary enough since they feel taller, but you know you aren't going to hit the bottom.
Knee deep.....you are going to eat sand, or fail at eating coral. So do you roll towards the wave or away from it when it finally hits you after a few quick shots?
Beautiful gallery of photos. I wanna get in the ocean.
That is a very cool article. This guy has to have cajones the size of grapefruit to swim in waves that large!! Those pics are going up on my wallpaper :^))
@deanbmmv: So, between his question and your answer, it'd be a contest where all the submissions would be images of the Google Streetview car being photographed driving by itself? How surreal.
@ urbanturban666: discreet? seriously? have you seen the thing sticking out on top? do you really think the type of car matters? have i asked enough questions yet? should i stop now?
It amazes me that Americans are so detached from the rest of the world they sympathize more with a robotic car and it's driver then a mass of people who feel there rights are being violated.
@Kenneth Duane Bewley: They're walking around outside. In the UK. London has at least 500,000 cameras alone. Why don't they go after that with pitchforks and torches?
@Kenneth Duane Bewley: I sympathize with noone who violently protests the violation of their own rights. There is such a thing as hypocrisy, after all. Now, I'm not saying that this was such a case, but between this and the previous incident, it sounds like it's an eventuality.
And the flip side of this is that we Americans (or at least some of us) are left wondering why the Brits are getting their collective panties in a twist over this, especially now that they've started blurring faces.

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.
