Dear Bob, OK so I use a d100, but I damn well know how to use it. I have some friends who will remain nameless, that are photographers and they are bloody minded about colour managemnt and have no interest in colour managemnt and understanding colour spaces. I told them 3 years ago how to sort it out, well it only took them 2 and half years to listen and still now, the finer technical points of digital, they never listen, now if it was film they would, cause its alchemey innit, so why not digital, gives us far more control, this really annoys me intensely, some people have real difficulties in transfering laterally the film knowledge they have to digital, its in the too difficult category. Surely as photography is an art, in order to produce the minds eye you have to have control over your medium, be it film, a screen or a pin hole camera.
Yeh sometimes get people saying oh I have a digital camera, I then ask what they have got then bla bla, they do the job and its rubbish and they ask me, I then go into some correct but technical jargon and then their brows furrow over, not as simple as the adverts would make you think it is eh, they conceed. Just the same technical learning curve as film. The best one was someone having the same camera as me, who calls themselves a photographer who comes into the category above and then some, assumed the change was simple and messed up several jobs, so that's where the bad rep comes from.
