Re: Digital Photography

[Paul Stenquist]

Seriously, I think it will help me produce some difficult shots. For 
example, the stock house I work with wanted me to do some tabletop 
shots that included a window frame shadow.I had trouble making this 
work on film with my studio strobes. With the digital, I can check 
results immediately and work at it until I get it right. I also had to 
produce some motion blurs with a sharp central image. Getting the right 
balance of flash and exposure was tricky. With film I had to wait to 
see if I got it right. With the digital I get immediate feedback and 
can make adjustments as necessary. I find I even use it as a test 
instrument for shooting Medium Format. I love it.

Fun, Paul ... absolutely.  But will it do anything to
improve your photographs or make you a better photographer.
I can do similar things with my hands but it won't make me a
better lover ;-))

Sorry...
Just lamenting the eventual demise of film and my beloved LXen. I

the voices of the future now, "A film camera. How quaint!"
