Wow ...I'm amazed

peasant

Just unpacked the "new" camera and am playing around and have to say, I'm looking forward to getting to know this camera. Pictures are great, even with my mediocre lenses and digital is just such instant gratification

example: (see attachment)

Nikon D50, kit lens, built-in flash, crap light, hand-held, auto setting, large size, JPEG fine, straight from the camera, just cut the edges off


Never mind composition and all that ...The detail is amazing.

That second one is a really lovely shot peasant, something quite mystical about it.

Peasant,

do you find yourself becoming more willing to try a shot you may not have tried on film now that you can instantly see how it looks with no development cost?

Personally i will soon be working with film (EOS 300) in order to force myself to think more before i click.

Interesting how right now we are both taking the journey in reverse to each other!

In fairness, there is nothing stopping you from thinking before you click with a digital. Nothing wrong with trial and error either.

That's what I like about photography the most. You become more conscious of the beauty around you.

I didn't even know those flowers were there, hidden under the bushes .. but once you get a camera out, you start noticing things that you'd normally overlook.

Yes, I'd be more willing to take a few experimental shots, or use rapid shots.

But having had to think long and hard before clicking for years, I'd rather spend more time looking through the viewfinder, moving around and adjusting before shooting (if I'm shooting at all) than just fire off 20 shots and pick the best later.

Also the display on the camera doesn't tell the whole story, I'd rather look at the big picture and I don't really want to have to look at 20 variants of the same on the computer so I try to limit myself to taking what I think is the best shot (or two)

Yeah i know, but my intention to learn photography in it's entirety and i feel that working with and developing my own films is gonna be an important part of my development as a (maybe someday) photographer!:)
