Dreaming To Be A Famous Photographer

There is absolutely no logical reason for using a film camera any more; digital is now capable of producing far technically far better results in terms of resolution, fidelity and versatility. Photoshop and the like put tools way beyond the capability of the most talented color darkroom worker in the hands of everyone.

That doesn't mean better pictures of course. As someone else pointed out, the only two essential tools remain the same as they were in the days of the Daguerotype: light and your eye.

Choosing to expose film and then waiting days to see the results frankly just seems like masochism to me. There is only one way to become an expert at anything and that is continual practice, evolving and growing. To limit yourself to at most 36 frames and then analyzing the result a week later having forgotten the settings and circumstances is pointless, expensive and self-limiting. I'm certain that were Cartier-Bresson still alive he would still be waiting for those Decisive Moments but he would be catching a great many more of them with a digital camera.

 

Having said that of course I still cant part with my F4, Leica and Hasselblad. The sheer beauty of the mechanisms still awes me even if I never use them. Much as I still wear a mechanical automatic watch when a 10 buck quartz would tell the time better.

 

So much for logic..

mga masters,

 

ask ko lang kung ano maganda filter brand (polarizing filter)for canon.

 

thanks..

 

one of the better ones is Hoya...suggest you invest in a good brand since you can use that in other lenses naman as long as the size is the same...

 

another way to save money - bumili ka ng malaking size na filter, tapos invest in step up rings - these rings cost less that P500 pesos...you spend several thousand on only 1 filter which you can use for all your lenses...

the equipment of course helps, but ultimately it's the person looking through the viewfinder and pressing the shutter release...

hoya or cokin kaso mahal nito sir

para sakin kung bibili ka nito mas maganda kung sa lenteng gagamitin mo na pangmatagalan

and not for kit lens kasi for sure bibili ka rin ng magandang lens pagdating ng araw

 

you can try sunpak, for beginners

i think sunpak has good quality also

 

 

imho
