    Default Internet Detectives Bust "Gear Whore"

    Found some really sweet 'HDR' photos. Poster claims his 5D and '1800 dollar Canon 14mm f/2.8' are why the photos look so 'good'.

    It turned into a good debate and some arguing until another forum member found some info... Just a good read for some internet LOL

    Dude the pictures are amazing.

    That is what you get when you shoot with 5D and Canon 14mm f/2.8L. Perfection.

    I'm gonna guess that the photog is an amateur since he doesn't even have a watermark.

    Not to mention all rookie mistakes in the pictures themselves and the positioning of the cars.

    who says you need a watermark? some people's work can speak for themselves. Since he doesn't have a watermark, i guess that makes every asshole on here with a camera watermarking there shit phots makes them a professional. cool pics bro much?

    rookie mistakes?

    on a ff body at 17 mm wouldn't there be a bit more barrel distortion than that? I try to shoot at longer focal lengths because I am trying to avoid having the lines of the car distorted by a short lens... but he seams to have found a way around that.

    yeah as far as a watermark, i mean i quit watermarking stuff on here just cause i know people know it's my picture plus i just don't want to go through the hassle of it just to post them on IA. BUT, he still did make some pretty careless mistakes.
