Not really, yes really. it just uses a digital sensor rather than film. a large format 10X8 camera's were not SLRs either but are ;large format. large format was specified. Not sure if a TLR would be allowed either. tlr is medium format and qualifies. |

So why is a tripod required ? The tripod is only required for the *photo tours* which have fewer numbers of *serious photographer* participants, and which are not the typical crowded tourist tour. In the slot canyons the light conditions are low light-high contrast, so the best results are obtained with long exposures making a tripod a vital accessory. High ISO alone is not going to solve the problem. HDR would help, but even there a tripod would be a big help. All needed to get images such as these: http://www.amazingplacesonearth.com/...e-Canyon-3.jpg http://www.vistanature.com/wp-conten...ope-Canyon.jpg http://neshtoto.com/wp-content/uploa...ope-Canyon.jpg The typical tourist with a P&S or a phone camera shooting on auto, or scene mode is not going to be very happy with the results they get. they end up looking like this: http://shmamaland.files.wordpress.co...1/nik_6105.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ope_Canyon.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

I think they virtually all were medium format. Almost all were. There were several large format plate cameras in the quarter plate and up, but they were rare (in the UK anyway). I only know of 1 35mm twin lens, an Agfa. It wasn't bad but fixed lens only and eye level only. -- Neil Reverse ‘a’ and ‘r’ Remove ‘l’ to get address. |
