Having lost count of the quantity of folks who have asked me : have you gone digital? I’m always left brooding about why it’s such a much-asked query.

The camera is only a tool in which a snapper creates an image. His personal capability to form a completely unique image is the same.

For many sorts of photography, digital has long held clear advantages, except for landscapes the resolution vital to make bigger prints just was not available. But things have changed and digicams are fast turning into the tools that most pros use. But are they able to essentially match the big format film cameras?

This is the best question that all photographers face. Instant LCD feedback is digitals best present and this enables the snapper to check exposure and composition of their image in the blinking of an eye. While this is a big advantage, the hours spent in front of the computer processing the raw photographs have to be a hindrance.

A landscape photographers time is best spent behind a camera not in front of a P. C. The good points and bad points of digital photography will remain an issue for some substantial time. At the end of the day a digicam will not make a photographers photos better.

The same values we apply in our photography should stay without regard for which camera we use. Good photography remains as evasive and as alluring as it ever has been, going digital doesn’t change this or make getting good photographs any more easy. It brings technical benefits, and lots of them, but the majority of photographic methodologies never change.

Good landscape footage come from the photographer’s's private capacity, not the capability of a camera. The camera helps, but the creative eye remains the same.

There are some easy reasons that I continue to employ a film camera : The veracity of my photographs may be queried if I employed a digicam. It is generally assumed that great digital footage have been manipulated. Too much time is spent in front of a PC. Slide film produce stronger colours than a digicam. There are a few advantages for changing to digital but I am going to stick with film, for the time-being that is. With time, film cameras will be a thing of the past and all our images will be exchanged for the pixels.

However use caution.
