i was looking over other photographer's websites and it really bugs me how photography, (digital), has lost essence of reality and corrupted, its capture of light, a true moment and the patience and skill of a true photographer. In medium format and film this brings out the true meaning of photography. Its like Bob Dylan's Song... Rollin' And Tumblin' on the Modern Times Album:
I got troubles so hard, I can't stand the strain
I got troubles so hard, I can't stand the strain
Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains...- I am sure the B&W enthusiasts said the same thing about color film back in the day.danthon
- I agree, but manipulation of a photograph was still restricted. Now days, the original photograph is not even close to finshed product.Calero
- Perhaps your beef is with digital retouching. Many photogs still take their time and get it right in camera.danthon
- maybe it is... but honestly there are not many who do... There are so many people that when shooting they shoot about a million pictures just to get one decent one, instead having patience and understanding of light conditions and the moment to get a one good photograph...Calero
- million photographs instead of having patience and understanding of light and the moment to take one good photograph.Calero
- Amateurs care about focus. Pros care about money. Photographers care about light. I am enjoying this thread, but I will not be going back to film exclusively anytime soon. Keep it up!danthon
- am more interested in the finished image than the process. Keep it up.danthon
