Hi All, To answer a few questions,
Steve wrote: Why are you looking at digital? I am not a wedding photographer myself, but I am just curious, having recently spoken to a wedding photographer, who has rejected digital and is firmly committed to analogue. Ans: Every client I see asks me for digital shots these days. Believe it or not, I have lost quite a substantial amount of business for not providing digital services (about 25%). Digital is the way to go as it seems, its most advantageous to the client. I can go through a picture viewer and delete or remove dud photos straight away two mins before seeing the client. I too am a traditionalist sticking firmly with film. I dont think digital can recreate the characteristics of film, although it may come close. Its not like im going to replace my medium format cameras with digital, I will shoot with film whenever possible and shoot digital only when asked. Ervim wrote: Hi Steven, Can;t talk for Ethan, but I am converting to digital in weddings because a) I can show my brides the pictures very quickly, and they can show the family who lives far away quickly using the web b) for PJ approach, it is important to capture the moment, but since they are not posed, sometimes you need to take many more pics c) 20 rolls of film with proofs at k&k including film : $600 d) ability to change ISO without switching camera's. Ans: Shooting digital allows us to shoot again if we stuff up a photo. I've been shooting weddings for the past three years and I must admit that I've stuffed up a few photos that I would have loved to recreate. Changing ISO on digital cameras is a bonus but the effects of doing so is that it increases digital noise. The D30 at ISO 400 is just too noisy. I'm hoping the D60 is less noisy. The 1D had banding effects. These negatives has put me away from digital for the last 6 months. Thanks for all you're comments on this subject, I'll be trialling a D60 as soon as its available in OZ. Wish me luck! Cheers, Ethan Privacy: ACNielsen collects personal information to provide and market our services.
