Ah, yes, great idea, spew excessive amounts of CO2 to go on a luxury safari by 757 to see all the animals we are going to drive into extinction through excessive jet travel. (ps. $135,000 to $165,000 per person, from what I have been able to gather). #travel #climate #jets
@ai6yr What in the world is a "photo enrichment coach?" that a glorified selfie photoshopper?
@exador23 @ai6yr without quite that name, I know some small cruises that go to places like the newly melting Northwest Passage have photographers who come along to help people figure out how to make the most out of their cameras, frame shots, etc. Some people have fancy cameras and use them like a phone camera, but without having discovered the controls for it.
@geographile @exador23 That's certainly the model. People with lots of money, and not lots of skill, with equipment that is very top of the line, which they don't know how to use...
@ai6yr @exador23 but why would you spend $400 on a really good point and shoot when you could spend 10 times as much on a setup that is heavier to carry but that you don't know how to use? I understand the desire, honestly. I want a good camera and I want to learn how to use it, but most of them I can't manage with my weird hands. And to be honest, I kind of wish I had an extra $4,000.

@geographile @exador23 Much more than 4K if you include the lenses... 10K.

Normal decision making: "What is the best I can afford that I am willing to learn how to use?"

Those with money: "What is the top of the line camera which I can use as bragging rights, and will create the best photo that money can buy? No expense spared!"

@ai6yr @exador23

Bingo.

On the other hand, I can't figure out how to find a #camera that's the best quality but is also lightweight and has controls manageable by someone with limited dexterity. I'm pretty good at choosing the right words for web searches, but I am confounded by this one.
