He refuses to photoshop anything (says that's not photography, hmmph) and uses a spot meter and old, solid skills for every shot. So far it's quite endearing....Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111665177473414894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189954053091216835.post-48870556880253923912008-04-06T19:20:00.000-04:002008-04-06T19:20:00.000-04:00I was a pretty good photographer with my old camer...I was a pretty good photographer with my old camera, but my digital has me purring. Mine can be set on manual if I want, and I can fuss over all the f numbers and time settings, but mostly I don't have to. And what about that 10X digital telephoto? Without carrying a huge lens around with me? <BR/><BR/>I was really amused by your description of your Dad's behavior. Yep!

But I always forgot to develop film and have several cans that might or might not have been used. Argggh. Nobody watches TV with me!! Grin.

So it's great that I can see immediately if I've taken a duff shot, and I can rectify it right there. I love not having to wait to see my photos - I've had a few disappointments where entire rolls of film have come out blank. There's nothing more disheartening, believe me! <BR/><BR/>But I do appreciate all the little nuances, the incredible knowledge and calculations that go into traditional photography. I might not be an artist but I sure can admire someone who is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189954053091216835.post-40208447188183808482008-04-06T10:07:00.000-04:002008-04-06T10:07:00.000-04:00My dad's the same way with the TV - I don't watch ...My dad's the same way with the TV - I don't watch Law & Order with him because he gets so mad at the lawyers doing things that aren't actually allowed in court. I agree that there are pros and cons to film vs. digital - to me the pros on the digital side far outway the cons. The space issue and the cost - how much does it cost to download your pictures? However, I am someone who takes pictures to capture memories, not as an art, so I am coming at it from a completely different perspective.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236441806234261588noreply@blogger.com
