Will They Have The Same Image?
Will these 3 photographers have the same images?
Two of these photographers are taking images at 400mm. The Nikon guy uses a 70-200mm and the TC2x and his tripod is not fully spread out to have a little bit more height. The Canon guy uses a 100-400mm. The only guy that is slightly different is the guy at the back with a 500mm and the Better Beamer on his flash.
They all have the same position, they all have the same height and they all have very similar lenses. I’m always interested in the periphery. What are the other photographers not seeing or not doing? If I can find it then my photos will be very different.
A couple of years ago, I read of Google study (sorry but I can’t find the link right now) that analyzed the billionS of photos that Google has indexed and is storing on their own servers. They found that:
- 99+% of the photos were done in colour.
- 95+% of the photos were done at the standard height of around 5ft or 1.5m
- 93% of the photos were done in landscape format
- 84% of the photos were taken with a smartphone
- 79+% of the photos were selfies
What about the conflict between the 93% landscape format and 84% smartphones? Most selfies are taken in portrait/vertical format. My guess is that Google’s archive has almost 30 years of photos and it’s only been recently that Facebook/Instagram/Meta has allowed Google to index it’s content.
So back to our trio, what are they trying to photograph, you ask? They are trying to get photos of the Sandhill Cranes at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary.
