Photography Question

Film Vs. CCD


Every time lately that I have opened a magazine I see articles about how to get the colors of a digital picture to look the same printed as they do on your monitor, and how to get the monitor to show the same colors as your camera recorded them. Most of these are in depth and are quite technical. With all these "extra" steps why even bother going digital?

  Because you can print all of your photos at home the way you want them - not the way a tech at the photo lab thinks you want them.

  Not everybody has to do that. But if it's an extra step that you're worried about, we always have choices. Just do what you have a use for and what you have fun with.

It comes back from the tech with the CORRECT color.. Not What you "think" is right. True color is true color. Use a mac beth card. Maybe if you payed attention to what you was doing , before you snapped the shutter, you would not nearly have the problems as you think you do.
Slide film in a Film Camera of Good quailty, is still better in color saturation, intensity, better in low light, and firing the shutter is not prolonged. Also Optics and better glass..
And it is still cheaper all the way around, simple and easy to use the long run. Even more so if you know what your doing, which is not that Hard! People are just lazy, and everthing around us in this world reflects it. God forbid you would have to THINK about a shot BEFORE you take it..
People who think Digital is all that, really have no clue about Photography, or want to learn the craft properly.
Point and shoot auto everthing. A week later.. thier opening up a business.. because they bought a Fancy Digital camera with bells and whistles you don't really need , which was put there for simple people to go oooohh.. and aahh over. And suddenly .. their a photographer..
I't not that simple .. and never will be for anything great. To be good at something, learning ect takes hard work.
And for good reason. Crap in ...is Crap out..
