The ultimate proof that it's not about the latest and greatest, it's how you use the tool. The Artemis II crew was using many cameras, but some of the most epic photos were taken using the Nikon D5 - a ten year old DSLR 💗

@binarydigit no, it’s about choosing the right tool for the job. That was a top of the line full frame sensor tuned for low light. Thats a very different thing to the claim that’s it’s about how you use the tool. #photography

@binarydigit Also, it helps that the D5 has a superior dynamic range and is less noisy than “the latest and greatest” 😉
