A little thought - don't you think it's interesting that photographers are
having a hard time what a point when there is more photography being used
than ever? Maybe the question is not digital or film, but how can we best
adapt to the new marketplace?
I think you'll find that those photographers who keep an open mind and are willing to experiment with any technology tio achieve the best visual results will always find themselves having less of a hard time.
Dear Bob, Moggy and All
I am a strong advocate of both film and digital capture....there is a place for both and both have their advantages and disadvantages.
I would like to ask anyone who feels their work could not benefit from digital manipulation (editing) this simple question. You have taken the picture after lots of care and now you have the trannies on the light box. Do you never think....Oh, I wish I had moved that light out just a shade or, or......come on admit it That's when you open your second camera bag and get out Photoshop or Live Picture or whatever.
Digital post work should not be used to make up for inadequate or poor originalion...it can never really do that totally successfully, but to make for more efficient working and adding a whole new dimension of control and creativity....be it shot digitally or shot on film.
