The point is obviously that a good camera doesn't necessarily make a good picture, and it's mildly insulting to photographers if you ask about their equipment without complimenting them on their talent! Can I just ask: what typewriter do you use.? I'm actually a big fan of your work, too, Mr Hemingway. Photographer: Well, I use a Leica with a 50mm lens for most of my shots.
He went to a photography exhibition in New York and was so impressed he asked to meet the photographer. People often ask me what camera I use, and it reminds me of a story I heard about Ernest Hemingway. It's obviously too late to do anything once you're on safari, so it pays to get your equipment sorted out beforehand. In order to avoid moments like that, here are my answers to a few obvious questions: What equipment do I need? What I really needed was a shutter speed of at least 1/1000 of a second. That would normally have worked, but not for a jumping impala! I was using an 80-400mm lens, so I had my camera on 1/320 and f/8 with auto ISO.
Unfortunately, I was using my default camera settings that were designed to capture animals that were standing still. They were galloping fast, but there were five or six of them, so I did have time to focus on each of them, one by one, as they crossed the road in turn. I was parked in a jeep in Botswana when a herd of impala came chasing across the road. If you look closely, you can see that the whole body is slightly out of focus, and that was simply because I didn't think to change my shutter speed.
