In
the first place I wish to tell you this: It is in hope that the
following passage is meant for the benefit of creating trust, by
convincing you that the ideas professed by me are strongly based on
scientific and theory of photography. These criticism are not out of
ill-feeling, but merely that I wish to start a campaign some
happenings that are negative or a conducive approach to photography.
Sine it is primarily as issue that would open argument and the
counter I wish to dedicate a separate Blog site which is more
suitable for discussion, but here the message is only partial. The

I
could only remember a celebrity photographer said to a daily, “I
bought my dream camera, 39 mega-pixel Hasselblad Camera” and never
did he fail to mention it did cost him 2 million Indian rupees, his
PDA another ERs 50,000 and his fascination to own a Ferrari in
future.
Is
it an open Invitation for a burglary at his home, sort of a thing?
Anyone keen to know about him? Sorry I know only his name not his
home address. Or is it a new approach of publicity either by the
photographer or the maker of the camera?
Although
I could not able to buy a decent digital SLR camera for myself all
these years, out of inquisitiveness [call it natural curiosity] I
tried at Hakia.com with a search phrase “which is the most
expensive camera” instead of usual Google. Seeing no promising
search result in vicinity that has relevance to douse my quest, I
again assisted the so called engine with another clue namely 'Medium
format” hoping the winner would be an Hasselblad or a latest Sinar
as an answer which I already knew. Equally I happened to come across
some nonsensical sites. So here is a Best way, as a guide, you
probably have to type key words such as “ nonsensical
sites/photography” in such a search exercise, at Google, Yahoo,
Hakia etc., and you are through. Although I may have no reason to
write about others but there is specific reason to write about FLAAR
report sites later in this page.
When
the good old all-time warriors like Rolleiflex and Bronica are
already out of the lane as contestants we could easily guess who
would be raised to the podium as winners. Since a comparison with-in
such a small sphere sounds meaningless, may I render my little
guidance to suggest whether is it worth at all to make a decisional
to opt for such a format as we did in the bygone era of film based
photography. Ok an Hasselbld resemble the chubby cheeks of 'Preethi
Zintha' in Bollywood. But with respect to comparison of performance
and advantages between a Digital camera of smaller David against
Goliath of a medium format, what else you priority should be to take
into consideration than a your fascination for cheeks.....
In
photography, which is a visual medium as well as with other kind of
perceptions like hearing , taste, smell or in general our
sensitivity to the external world is governed by law of Logarithmic
progression .
Don't
we know :
...a
film speed of 200ASA is twice as faster than a film quoted to be
100ASA that is specified on the canister/box. Like wise 400ASA is
twice that of the predecessor of 200ASA. [Could you please note this
point that with film based photography, where we were at one point
towards it's last chapter, we already have evolved to a stage that
the difference in a photograph taken with a 100ASA and a 400ASA was
very negligible].
...Like
wise the shutter speed, the progression of aperture are to go with
such progression, but it would be too insulting for you to hear if I
touch upon these basics.
