After Reuters revealed the 95 Photos of
the Year for 2012, one Reddit user named Hallbuzz decided to look into
them further. After sorting EXIF data and doing a bit of graphing,
Hallbuzz was able to present us with an interesting look into the
kind of gear that’s used most in award winning pictures.
In terms of prime lenses, 24mm and 50mm
tie at 17.6 percent. There’s no question in the zoom category
though, where over half of the pictures shot with a zoom lens were
through a 16-35mm lens. The analysis also covers things like shutter
speed, F-Stop and ISO.
Take the camera ratings with a grain of
salt. Though the results are indeed accurate, it needs to be
considered that Reuters is a Canon company, resulting in almost all
of the cameras being used in these photos being Canon branded.
