Pro Photographer - Cheap Camera Challenge - good fun clips and very enlightening

I thought these were an interesting set of short vids.

For anybody feeling that their kit may be holding them back, a selection of well known pro photographers (taken out of their comfort zone) to see what they can achieve with a variety of cheap and in some cases 'silly' cameras.

David "The Strobist" Hobby gets a Buzz Lightyear 'toy' camera



Chase Jarvis - the man who coined "the best camera is the one you have with you" gets a Lego Camera



Douglas Sonders gets a broken Holga with no viewfinder



Zack Arias gets a red compact



Vincent 'tilt and shift' Laforet gets film and a Lensbaby

I've been watching them from the start of the challenge. I especially like Chase Jarvis. When he first appeared I thought *Oh dear!*...but very quickly warmed to his charm, prefessionalism and style. One of my favourites

Re: Pro Photographer - Cheap Camera Challenge - good fun clips and very enlightening

I've watched a number of episodes attached to this challenge and noticed the one result proves the photographer is responsible for high quality photos, not the camera. I've been teaching my students that for years. Still, people keep claiming my success is due to my camera, lens, software or advanced age.
