With a full frame camera and a 35mm lens at f10 focusing on something 20 feet at away gives you a depth of field from 9 feet in front of you to infinity. If you think highly trained, very intelligent astronauts with an enormous engineering team behind them can't figure out how to zone focus in an environment with brilliant and consistent light you need to do a photography for beginners course.Originally posted by XFJET View Postlike I said before ... with the moon landing .... find me a photographer that can put his DSLR in full manual mode use the same lens as the Astronauts used on the moon landing, cover the viewfinder and take the 1000 photos of things around their place then see if from the 1000 photos at least 100 are in focus I'm looking at the poof presented to us which is photos and video, I give no fuck about technology and rocket scientists and other science behind it but when you have an astronaut in their fuckign suit where they can't even see a view finder (there was no view finder) and take photos of fucking amazing quality with the equipment they had I say it's fucking bullshit, they had no view finder, no autofocus and a pretty fucking wide lens which is fucking recipes for out of focus and under/over exposed photo's yet the fucking photos look tack sharp with a very small object in focus ... that is either fucking art or bullshit and I truly hope that before anyone makes a stupid comment they should take their SLR and turn it to manual, cover the view finder, turn autofocus off and take some family snaps, only then come back here and comment

They hand flew a spacecraft onto the fucking moon, pretty sure they can work a SLR.

You think the moon landing is a giant hoax because you are average with an SLR?.....err ok thenOriginally posted by XFJET View Postlike I said before ... with the moon landing .... find me a photographer that can put his DSLR in full manual mode use the same lens as the Astronauts used on the moon landing, cover the viewfinder and take the 1000 photos of things around their place then see if from the 1000 photos at least 100 are in focus
I'm looking at the poof presented to us which is photos and video, I give no fuck about technology and rocket scientists and other science behind it but when you have an astronaut in their fuckign suit where they can't even see a view finder (there was no view finder) and take photos of fucking amazing quality with the equipment they had I say it's fucking bullshit, they had no view finder, no autofocus and a pretty fucking wide lens which is fucking recipes for out of focus and under/over exposed photo's yet the fucking photos look tack sharp with a very small object in focus ... that is either fucking art or bullshit and I truly hope that before anyone makes a stupid comment they should take their SLR and turn it to manual, cover the view finder, turn autofocus off and take some family snaps, only then come back here and commentGT8

They only hand to get that lander skew-if by a poofteenth and they were skidmarks. Yet they managed it and then used high explosives to return to Earth... I mean... for fuck sake. If you think an SLR was going to be a hurdle you really need to reevaluate your lot in life.Originally posted by oioioioioiI've never said or implied everyone on that page was a deadshit - just that there's a concentration of deadshits there. Think of it like a mine, but instead of a rich vein of gold bearing quartz, it's a rich vein of spastic bearing facebook posts.Originally posted by SketchyAny peanut who thinks they could have done it better from the comfort of their armchair or work desk is a genuine mong level potato.

The alleged non-existence of DSLR'S OVER THE 35+ years following was all just a conspiracy by Big Kodak.Originally posted by Fondles View PostIts all bullshit. cunts did not have DSLR's back then.Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.

I agree.Originally posted by IMOA View PostWith a full frame camera and a 35mm lens at f10 focusing on something 20 feet at away gives you a depth of field from 9 feet in front of you to infinity.

For an event of this scale, i'm pretty sure they would have spent countless hours/days preparing to take photo's. Everyone that took photo's on an SLR or semi decent camera (pre digital) had to have some idea of what they were doing...

Giant great 200 shot film backs, so obvious when you see it but I never even thought about it. Beats the hell out of changing it every 12 shots.Originally posted by Billzilla View PostHere's a link to the cameras used - https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11-hass.html
Still, if they could send a few Hasselblads to the moon why not send all of them? I always preferred working with a Mamiya RB.
