Photographic Supplies Have You Gone Digital ?


by Terry S Vostor

It was not long ago that a career or hobby in photography and photo shoots required major expenditure and ordeal. Cameras were film cameras - 35 mm or large frame Hasselblads. Film had to be bought , then developed in a darkroom with chemicals all in the deep dark. Black and white photography was easiest - color film developing was precise and expensive. Next after developing the film had to "printed" on photo paper out of a light enlarger onto expensive photo paper. It all was one giant art form. Now today its a snap with automatic exposure cameras in our digital cameras.

Incorrect focus can produce an image in which a large area of the picture is unsharp itself. Sort of like looking through "Coke bottle" glasses. Accurate focusing is vital particularly at close distances and when using a wide aperture or a long focus lens - never mind in our millennium, digital prints online and Blogging.

I once heard a photographer say that for him or her the best shots are those that flash by past his train window - too late. Photos and photo images in our life have become everyday and accepted whether on TV, in newspapers , film and magazines or online on websites. It reflects the very photographer's indeed the artist's intrinsic and innate photo skills and skill sets.

Many novices base their camera purchase simply on appearances , on megapixel count without incorporating optics and lenses quality , and the pushiness and ability of the salesperson at the big box store in the digital camera dept to close the sale quickly and with an extended psp warranty. They exploit the particular appeal of a subject with subtlety or perhaps with humor, or invest a seemingly mundane and easily overlooked object with freshness. In this way the experienced photographer - or even the inexperienced one makes potential professional photographers of us all as Wrongway Strokon is fond of pointing out. The camera principally associated with the classic 35 mm film is the single lens reflex or SLR. SLRs convey the scene being photographed through the lens, via an angled mirror and a glass para-prism to a glass screen, so that the screen through the viewfinder is identical to that being seen through the lens itself. Luxury high end digital cameras still employ SLR setups and protocol procedures.

Subject movement is produced when the subject is moving too fast for the shutter speed. It can be prevented by selecting a faster shutter speed , by a larger f stop or by panning the subject as it moves by. The way that you hold your camera depends on any of a number of factors; the type of camera it is , whether it is a landscape or portrait shoot that is being taken and what accessories and lenses are fitted and being employed.

Compact cameras are pocket sized, easy to handle and operate, and incorporate many advanced technical features every increasingly with each new and more technically advanced model. Fog is produced when the "film" or image in the digital viewfinder, is accidentally exposed in the camera itself. In days of old - that of film cameras fog on photos was more common being produced accidentally by careless loading and unloading - in bright sunlight for instance- or by a leaky, ill-fitting camera back itself. Careless handling in processing of professional film studios , or even in modern digital photo printing studio operations - all can produce fog on picture prints.

Such shots may seem wonderfully promising but results promising but results are rarely accurately foreseen - even for professionals there is an element of surprise and even error between observing the scene , taking the photograph and view the final print ,image on lcd screen or photo printed from an inkjet or color laser printer - forever and in the greatest detail. Add tot that the powers of the modern technology whether to share your photo online, on the internet and at photo album sites such as Flickr or Goggle Picassa photo albums online. Often the image is fugitive, like the shadow cast by a cloud, the appearance of a rainbow , or simply a figure of set of figures dashing by. time is the third dimension of the photograph. Voila.
