and so the science and art ... photographs, that is!
Yes, there is a 'D' (digital) cameras and lenses is added, and really capture the media and post production now are digital, but photography is still photography. This is a recording of light and sjene.Alati changed a bit, all for the better in my opinion.
This is not my opinion, when the first digital gaining hold in the market, but the improvements in digital and print media has come a long way, baby! I worked with film for over 20 years, and most of the film was a medium format, so I'm used to more negative results. It has been ten years since I made the switch to digital format and print.
I will not go into the film compared to digital here. That's for another blog ... and this has been done ad infinitum ... I also engaged the topic before. Suffice it to say that Kodak has announced that the film be withdrawn in a few years.
the thrust of this post is that, although the media has changed, still photos and images. True, digital cameras have advanced metering, faster focusing, and better ways to program, and all this does not improve the chances for making good photos, even if you do not know any more than to point the camera and press the shutter button. But all that is true now, even if you're still using film instead of flash cards. This is just the result of ongoing development.
What makes a great photo? 1) a large object, 2) big band (frame), 3) Great lighting and 4) the perfect exposure. Other things may play a role, such as focus and depth of focus, and of course after production. All these factors are the same as they always were.
post-production, and even remains the same as before digital, except that the tools have changed. Where was digital, you should make test prints and adjusting color balance and density using filters and exposure duration on the enlarger, but now we are using computer programs such as Photoshop Lightroom, etc. And where retouching and dodging and burning to get the look she was after that, with the film all you did was painting the negative, and the use of dodging paddles and masks in the expansion process. Now with digital, everything is still done with computer programs. Digital is much "greener", that's for sure!
the point is that the tools have changed, but the big picture still requires knowledge of how to make a perfect exposure with the camera. It still requires knowing how to manipulate light, and the "eye" for composition. And if you work with people, still requires knowing how to help people to represent and be at ease in front of the camera.
of the digital revolution in photography has made it so that the photographer can have control over the entire process of producing images without spending hours in a dark room with smelly and toxic chemicals. However, making great photographs still requires skill and artistic talent that is always there. Hence, the name remains the same, and so the science and art!
