Are you a photographer who is struggling to get close to the kind of clarity and sharpness other professional top notch photographers are achieving? Well I got news for you, get a new camera with more optical zoom http://www.photoxels.com/article-optical-digital-zoom.html
No, no, nonsense. Go for optical zoooom: http://cameras.about.com/od/digitalcamerareviews/a/pandmcf27.htm
Optics and resolving power are way more important than MP - with a decent camera and lens 5mp is plenty - the 10D has 7.1 (IIRC). I'm thinking maybe I need an external flash - with the aperture shut right down to f45 on the sigma to get a workable DOT, and the shutter speed racked up to 1/125 or 1/250 to avoid camera shake, I reckon I might be stuggling to get enough light to get a really sharp pic.
yea well you lack the kind of clarity and sharpness other professional top notch photographers have...so maybe he is right.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my kit - 3 years ago it was a pretty much pro standard DSLR - and the standard has not advanced a great deal in that time except for a few extra MP - the problem is the pink fleshy thing behind the camera
No zoom used in these... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

See? its the squishy organic thing behind the camera that makes the difference - not the camera Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! - that said the 8700 is pretty tasty The beetle pic was quite pleasing - for a change - must get back out now the weather has returned and shoot a few more you you guys

Its done with a print making technique called 'burning'. Heres another good example of a contrast trick from Dario Argento's film 'Inferno'. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Notice how the women's hair is highlighted by a spotlight shining down from above and behind? This makes the figure look like its standing out from the background...very striking! Just like Ansel's sunlit mountains stand out in contrast with the dark skies.
