Greetings Richard,

The reason the "best shooters use equipment that is practically ancient" is that they know what their equipment can or cannot do. eg I make a living shooting soccer / football in South Africa at the age of 62 years. I know that my camera is a stuff up. When I sit on the opposite side of the field and shoot goalmouth action I have to autofocus and then change to manual to get the players sharp, because I know that if I don't do this my camera will go to the background and the pictures will be unsharp. Pro's will know which camera I am using, so don't bother to ask. So my message to all photographers is learn your camera's abilities.

Greetings from South Africa.

Maybe all photos should have 2 captions.

One : stating the place or time or subject or any relevant information about the actual picture.

Two : the photographers reason ! or message that he would like his audience to consider. What he saw or felt or wants the audience to feel about his picture
