[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Times Square is a good place to get ones finger on the pulse of what's happening with photography for the average person of the world. Now that I look it up as I write this I see " Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction, bringing in over 39 million visitors annually." And I see a lot of people shooting the neo and billboards with their cell phones. More those than small cameras. But more than that I see normal sized DSLR's. Plenty of what would appear by size to be full frames but more scaled down ones which I'm sure would be 1.5 crops. Oh and I see almost no 4/3's and I'm looking hard. I still don't know what they do with the captures after they take them. Have 4x6 snapshots made? I think maybe not. Upload to internet galleries? I think maybe so.
