Does equipment make a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started producing Tracking the Light a decade ago, my thought was to offer very detailed essays focused on photographic technique, processes, and how to make the most of specific pieces of equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My format has since morphed into something less detailed and more visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often carry my Lumix LX7 digital camera because it is compact, lightweight and yet has the ability to make exceptionally sharp photos that I can use in books and magazines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, I made these images with the LX7 of Conway Scenic steam locomotive 7470. I used some photos for the company Facebook page and hope to use them in advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these photos were scaled, what you see here are the in-Camera JPGs without significant alteration to color, contrast, exposure or sharpness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were working with a different digital camera system, how might that have changed my results? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, I also exposed some Ektachrome of 7470 using my 30-year old Nikon F3 with f1.8 105mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
