Lit Water - 33/365

by static416Fountain near the Distillery. I tried these shots a year ago with my previous camera and they didn't turn out, the ISO on the Canon XT just didn't go high enough to produce anything useful.

Some photographers will claim that your equipment shouldn't have a bearing on your photographic ability. They'll dismiss equipment-related questions with the incredibly arrogant "What paint brush did Michelangleo use?" hypothetical.

Firstly, you're not Michelangleo. Secondly, that's a idiotic argument. Clearly he didn't use a paint roller, or a brush for painting a house. The tools you use do make a difference in the product of your work. Especially if you are operating at the edges of the usability for that tool, as I was here.

Obviously the skill of the artist or creator is the main factor in the quality of work they produce. But the quality and nature of their tools is a significant factor as well, both in terms of the quality of their work and it's breadth. 

So just stop being an arrogant prick and tell me what lens and camera you used.
