The name remains the same

And that is how science and art ... The photograph is that!

Yes, it is a 'D' (digital) cameras and lenses, and added, even if the recording media and digital post-production now, but photography is photography. This is a recording of light and shadow. The instruments have a little ', and everything changed for the better in my opinion.

It was not my opinion, if a digital first successes was a tight market, but the improvements in digital media and the press has come a longWay, baby! I worked with film for over 20 years, and most were of medium format film, so I was used on the results of a strong negative impact. It's been 10 years since I made the switch to digital and print.

I do not want a comparison from film to digital. This is another blog ... and it was done forever ... And I had this argument. Suffice it to say that Kodak has announced his retirement a few years in films.

The thrust of this postis that, although the media has changed, photography, photography. True to digital cameras have advanced metering, faster and better focus the program mode, and everything to improve the chances for a good photo, even if you do not know nothing but the camera and press the shutter button. But all this would be true even now when we still used film rather than a flash card. It 'just the result of continuous development.

What makes a greatPhoto? 1) A big problem, 2) Great composition (framing), 3) Great lighting, and 4) have a perfect exposure. Other things may play a role as a focus and depth of field, and, of course, post-production. All these factors are exactly as they have ever been.

Post-production, also the same as before digital, with the exception that the tools have changed. Where before digital, we should have done test prints and the color balance and density through the use of filters and the lengthexposure to an enlarger, now use computer programs like Photoshop and Lightroom, etc. And where the retouching and dodging and burning, was the look one by one, with the film on everything from painting and Dodge has done with the negative blade and masks in the process of enlargement. Now with digital, everything is still done with computer programs. Digital is a lot of "green" is the safe!

The fact is that the tools have changed, but big picture still requires knowledgehow to make a perfect exposure with the camera. There is a need to know how to manipulate the light, and an "eye" for composition. And if you work with people who need them and do not know how to help people and put at ease before the camera.

The digital revolution in photography, has such a way as to make the photographer control over the entire process of image, without having the time in a dark room with smelly and toxic chemicals. However, the creationlarge photographs still requires skill and artistic talent that has always been. It remains the name is still preserved, and then science and art!
