Originally posted by Wheatfield Your point has nothing to do with the topic, which is about the technical advantages of larger formats over smaller ones. By saying you don't see any technical advantage, it was a pretty safe bet that you are a one small format shooter, or that you judged everything by reducing it to the lowest quality possible, instagram being the great equalizer.
Brettday's post above is an example of reducing things to the point that technical advantages are not as pronounced. carried to the logical extreme, we could reduce the size of every image to 1x1 pixel to show that there were no advantages of one format over another.
How you can say you've shot multiple formats and say you can't see any technical advantage of a larger one over a smaller one gives rise to another set of questions, one of which would be is Helen Keller your real name?
I'm not debating with you about content trumping format, that is a given. A garbage image is a garbage image no matter how big the medium, but this thread isn't about that.
1. My point is “content is more important”, and since you agree that the content is more important and you don’t want to debate that, which is the only point I want to make, then great, we are actually on the same page!
but I do believe this is still related to this thread, but if you firmly believe that what I said is not relevant here, feel free to report my comments to admin.
2. I never said “I don’t see a difference” and I have no idea why you keep saying that, you can go back and read my comments again. But keep saying this makes you happy, then OK.
3. I don’t post a lot of images on the internet, but even on this forum alone, you can easily find my images shot with K3, K1, MX, Hasselblad Xpan, Hasselblad 500cm, digital 645 and Rolleiflex 3.5. But hey, if it make you happy, sure I have never shot with multiple formats.
5.I don’t think I have replied to your comments on this forum before and I still don’t know which part of my comments offended you (or your belief). But let me say that, you are right man, and I was wrong. As you noticed, I am just as deaf and blind as Helen Keller. After reading your comments, I now realized that there are BIG differences between different formats, form now on I will never judge images through instagram, and I definitely don’t know what I was talking about since I never tired different formats.
You can now take it easy Bill, Saskatchewan is beautiful, Jester is one handsome Rottie, you have a good one and good luck to you and your photography. Please forgive my ignorance comments, thank you.
