Digital Photographs Or Not

Having lost count of the quantity of people who have asked me : have you gone digital? I am always left considering why it’s such a much-asked query.

The camera is only a tool in which a snapper creates an image. His private capacity to form a totally unique image is the same.

For many kinds of photography, digital has long held clear benefits, except for landscapes the resolution important to make bigger prints just was not available. But things have changed and digicams are fast turning into the tools that most pros use. But are they able to actually match the big format film cameras?

This is the best question that all photographers face. Instant LCD feedback is digitals best present and this enables the paparazzo to check exposure and composition of their image in the blinking of an eye. While this is a giant advantage, the hours spent in front of the PC processing the raw footage must be a hindrance.

A landscape photographers time is best spent behind a camera not in front of a P. C. The good points and bad points of digital photography will remain a difficulty for some considerable time. At the end of the day a digicam will not make a photographers photographs better.

The same values we apply in our photography should stay without regard for which camera we use. Good photography remains as evasive and as appealing as it ever has been, going digital doesn’t change this or make getting good photographs any more straightforward. It brings technical benefits, and masses of them, but the majority of photographic methodologies never change.

Good landscape photographs come from the snapper’s private capacity, not the capability of a camera. The camera helps, but the creative eye remains the same.

There are some straightforward reasons that I continue to use a film camera : The authenticity of my photographs may be questioned if I used a digicam. It is generally assumed that great digital footage have been manipulated. Too much time is spent in front of a PC. Slide film produce stronger colours than a digicam. There are several advantages for changing to digital but I’m going to stay with film, for the time-being that is. With time, film cameras will be a thing of the past and all our images will be exchanged for the pixels.

However be careful.
