What Should I Stay With?


Hi, I have been interested in photography for a couple of years and had been practicing on a Pentax ME-super. However, last year I got a digital camera and absolutely love it. I want to do freelance in the future but my question is, should I stick with digital or do I need to go back to film? Which is more in demmand? Thanks for any help you could give me.

  Why not keep both? It's all depending on what freelance work you will get into. For example, some wedding photographers take only digital. For a wedding, it is easily to take 200-300 pictures. I can't imagine how much time I have to spend adjusting each image (basic level adjustment) and printing them all out. I use a lab that will do all the adjustment for me and for a few bucks more, I can have all the images burned on CDs. But for catalog shots, usually I only take about 20-30 images. In this case, I will use the digital camera. Be flexible. Hope this helps.
