IMC etc.
You
often hear that "You must have a good camera your pictures are so
good!" and "we" think to ourselves "wow, that cook has a great frying
pan his food is so good" ... NOT! However .... I confess that regardless
of composition and similar factors, the current cameras sure improve
the technical quality of photographs made by the masses. I can't focus
fast enough or reliably enough when subjects are moving (like in flying
bird photography). Also my hands are not as steady as is sometimes
required. In short Image Motion Compensation is a fantastic aid.
I
was making photographs from a rocking sailboat of other boats on the
water. Some with AF but no IMC and others with AF but with IMC. The
former were mostly unusable.
Bird
photography and photography from rocking sailboats or similar is sure a
lot easier with IMC and probably a boon to birders and nature
photographers all over. Just like there is today a proliferation of
photographs (phone camera's impact) IMC and long fl zoom lenses have
significantly multiplied the number of successful images made by
relatively inexperienced photographers.
Sorry for some of the disjointed thoughts in the post ... just thinking out loud.
