Challenge: Battle Of The Sexes (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ30

Aperture: 4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Jan 11, 2007

Just saw this photog using this huge lens and thought I would never lug something like that around. Then remembered that when I am shooting with male friends, they are always looking at other peoples' big lenses with envy. I never feel that. So perhaps it is a male thing.

Cropped, cloned out a small blemish on the right edge, levels, brightness/contrast, 60% vivid light on the lens, selective levels to darken background, burned edges, resized, smart sharpened very slightly, saved for web.

:) Funny!

I've wondered about that myself, I think it is a male thing.

His camera looks so tiny in comparison to that thing! Very comical and appropriate - good idea :) When I voted, I remember laughing hysterically at this one, thank you!

Wow, I've got some serious lens envy after looking at this photo! I must be like your guy friends :-) And for the record, I thought a woman took this photo for sure, because while guys like to allude to their, um size being XL, they don't tend to like to allude to the whole "compensation" thing :-)

Heh. Now I know why people thought you were a guy. :)

That is a big lens, but I bet it makes his pocketbook tiny after he pays for it!

Ok Julianne, now you've just made me jealous. Maybe I can hang this picture on the fridge in hopes that my wife will take the hint for my birthday coming up. HaHa.

Absolutely!

I think this photo might have worked better with a really strikingly beautiful woman standing next to this guy with a tiny little camera, or maybe her with the big camera and him with the little one - not sure but it needs something to set it apart aside from the title. just my opinion of course - lord knows i am not a pro!

HOLY SHIT, You can zoom to mars with that thing.

The size doesn't matter, the red "Leica" badge on the side however..... ;-)

As a woman would say, it's not the size that counts, it's what you can do with it... (and men will believe anything...)

depends what u are shooting at!

I like the 'big' approach. It conveys adequately the challenge title. (What sort of results does that lens give?).
