That isn't necessarily true. The quality of the camera is, but the knowledge and skill the photographer has is was makes the difference between a picture took by a novice photog w/a great camera and a pro photog w/a great camera.85% of it is the camera
I thought the same thing a few years back before I seriously got into photography and I now know that an awesome photographer can take the most dramatic pictures with even a crappy camera. It is immensely more difficult that you think.
I've been to shows (I mainly shoot live bands) and seen photogs with expensive cameras and flashes and looked at the pics they took that night and they are shitty.
But yea.....that setup is RETARDED!!! haha I wish I had that many flashes at my disposal lol
Sure, the camera does the work, but only if you know how to use it.
He said it was a Nikon D300.

That is impressive. I shoot as well and those little fuckers are hard to lure. They are harder to shoot than fish underwater.
How many shots do you think was taken in order to get that shot?That isn't necessarily true. The quality of the camera is, but the knowledge and skill the photographer has is was makes the difference between a picture took by a novice photog w/a great camera and a pro photog w/a great camera.

Not too sure. Kinda hard to say. The D300 has a 12.3 megapixel resolution, and using a 200 ISO setting w/ F11, and a focal length of 340mm.... That's a long zoom. By looking at his other thread it seems as though he just had to keep shooting bc apparently the bird stayed around the feeder. For that one perfect angle, I'd say depending how fast his trigger finger was, b/w 50-100 shots. Photogs try to have a high keeper rate, and usually the better photogs will be much higher. I usually have to discard 70% of the pics I take :/How many shots do you think was taken in order to get that shot?

edit: kept reading, looks like this is all he said"If I had to guess, I'd say about 80%-85% are in focus. And then there are those that although in focus, just aren't worth keeping because of the pose. But overall, I'd say around 70-75% are keepers. It wasn't always that good, though. I remember getting maybe 1 keeper in 10! Improvements in focus systems have helped a great deal and learning the habits of these guys help you anticipate what they'll do next so you can be ready for the shot.
Thanks for the nice words,

You know, I don't care how many times he hit the delete button.
To get a couple of captures like that is amazing.
Think about photoshoots. How many shots do they take to publish 6-7 photographs? I can remember guys shooting several 24 count rolls of film to make one session.

If you sorta know what you're doing then 10 or less, if you really know what you're doing then just 1.How many shots do you think was taken in order to get that shot?
