…because Photography is my Creativity

Digital cameras versus film cameras…
Of course, I love both…but…I’ve grown to love digital better than film, my big reason is: because of how many pictures I can take!

With a film camera there’s always that chance of not enough pictures left on the film, so then you have to be sparing with your picture taking. So that’s not fun, what if there was an awesome shot of a sunset and you only had one picture left! So you take it because there’s no way you would ever get that shot again…but wait! Oh no, the sunset looks even more majestic than the last shot you took….nooooooooo, my film is gone! Ok, so wait, you have more film right there in your bag…no biggy. So you take the time to put the film in the camera, and you think your golden…but then you look up to see that the sun is already down and that priceless shot is gone forever.

But of course, digital cameras are alot more expensive and more complicated to use. While film cameras are easier to use and cheaper. Most film cameras may also have better quality sometimes…but with digital you can tweak your photos in a simple program instantly, and can view the pictures just after you take it on the LCD screen (the tiny screen that usually is on a digital camera). So there are pros and cons to both types of cameras. It usually depends on what you are using the camera for. I may go into the pros and cons of both types later, but this’ll do for now.

You know, most people would say good photographers have good cameras. But my opinion isn’t that they have a good camera, it’s that they know their camera. A new photographer can get quite frustrated with the way their photos turn out, which can get them discouraged. They most likely will blame it on the camera first (well, at least that’s what I do sometimes still), but really the fact of the matter is that they don’t know how to use the camera properly. Now of course all of this is my opinion and what I guess I’ve learned from what I’ve been through, but still…beginner photographers need to be patient and just try to figure out their own camera. Each camera is different so when you’re just beginning it’s hard at first to know how your camera works. Of course there’s the basic stuff how all cameras work…like the lense, flash, time it takes to capture the actual photo, etc. But camera’s seem to have their own personality sometimes (that may sound a little crazy but that’s what it seems like to me) so take the time to get to know your camera and don’t get frustrated. Since I’m still relatively new at photography and owning my own digital camera, I’m still trying to get to know my camera…and I do still get frustrated…shhh…but I just gotta remember that these things take time.

Plus, it’s my own fault if I can’t take good pictures…I’m still developing an eye for things and figuring out what makes a good photo and what doesn’t. So it’s not the camera’s fault (at least not all the time)

Wow, I haven’t blogged in a while! Terribly sorry about that! My weekend was quite busy. I did manage to take a few photos which I will work on very soon and post as soon as I am able. But for now I’ll post a couple of my photos I took a while back.

This next photo is kinda different. I thought it was rather cool, almost abstract the way the moon and jet were positioned in the photo.

This next photo isn’t the greatest but I still like it. The frost shows up rather well on the leaves.

I’ve been working on a new header for this site, what do you think? It’s a collage of some of my own photos that I’ve taken.
