Question: What do you think of digital photography?
Answer: For many years I was a dedicated film user and was reluctant to switch to digital. With a few Photoshop classes for nature photographers behind me I wish I had made the switch years earlier. Digital cameras and Photoshop are incredibly powerful tools and they will only get better.There are a plethora of choices today! I personally have converted to this new medium, (thus I don't have to pack bags of film or worry about airport X-ray issues!) I have the following points to offer you: If you are buying an SLR camera that will take your existing interchangeable lenses, expect to spend serious money. The Nikon D100 body alone can be found selling for about U.S. $ 1,000.

What is the difference between 35mm and digital photography?
Digital photography is just as good if not better than 35 mm photography. Prints for digital images make beautiful enlargements up to 20 x 30 inches. Digital photography is useful when you will require enlargements larger than 11x14 inches in size. Otherwise, if you are expecting to have enlargements no larger than 11x14 you do not need digital photographs. Both 35mm & digital photographs come out 4x6 inches and will produce fine quality reprints and enlargements up to 11x14 inches in size.I'm Ron Parr.

If only people approached everything else they read on the Internet with such skepticism! I'm a computer science professor, but digital photography is just a hobby.A. I never have to limit the number of images I can photograph at your wedding. I am not wasting film, so I can keep shooting until I get the exact moment I want.

Who are you?
Film allows more room for error in terms of exposure, lighting, or processing damage. As far as photo quality, you can expect digital to look just as good as, or even better than film. A digital photographer can produce several versions of the same image: soft, sharp, color, black and white, or with special effects and filters. You or your photographer can decide which looks best for each image.Digital cameras offer you a very important advantage over film. They give you the capability to see and evaluate your pictures immediately. The downside of digital cameras, though, is that they are not nearly as forgiving of mistakes as film.

What is your opinion of digital photography ?
There is no question that some of today's digital cameras can produce an image that is sharper and shows more detail than film.But digital is a very different medium than film and I still feel film has some useful qualities that are not yet present in digital. Also film can always be scanned into a digital format later (the way most Hollywood movies and TV commercials and shows are made.) The critical factor for you should be how good the photographer is at using the medium of their choice.I'm Ron Parr.

Is there a good tutorial available for digital photography for the web?

Do you shoot film or digital photography?
I began the switch to digital photography in late 1998 when I purchased the Kodak DC-260. After purchasing professional grade Nikon equipment in early 2004, I made the switch to digital photography. Today, I shoot all digital for personal and client photography. I feel the benefits of digital outweight film in many ways. Many photographers would debate this statement, but for most of my client's needs, digital photography produces outstanding results.Our new Digital Photography Resource Center can help yopu out.
