The Shutterbug Society; Activity #3: Ask and Answer

[ed1nburgh.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ask and Answer
Points: 10 points participatioon
Dates: NOW until Thursday, July 1 at 22:00 PDT.

Details: Since this is a photography club and we have members of all skill levels, for this activity, you're going to have the opportunity to ask or answer photography questions you've always wondered!

FOR QUESTIONS: Be sure that it is a question of substance. Asking, "What's a camera?" will not get you points, but asking something of more substance, such as "What is the rule of thirds?" or "What's the difference between digital cameras and film cameras," will count towards points. If you are only planning on asking questions, you must ask THREE questions to get participation points.

FOR ANSWERS: If you know the answer to a question you see, feel free to respond! In order to get participation points, you must answer one question with at least five, complete sentences. It is encouraged that you post an example of what you're talking about, to make your answer totally clear.

Of course, feel free to go beyond the minimum! You may ask more than three questions or answer more than one, or any combination thereof.

If you have any questions for me, please respond to the thread below!

Shoot things, legally! Join The Shutterbug Society today!

Film and digital cameras are used for more or less the same purpose but they're completely different. It's like comparing a painting and a photo, they both capture images but they're so different!

With digital camera you have a higher chance of getting a better result since you can see what you're doing and there are fewwer variables to control.

Film has a different look to it completely, it's harder to manage and if you don't print the photos yourself then more often than not, photo labs don't do too great of a job D:

Neither one is better at anything than the other, they can easily achieve the same results etc. and when it comes to editing, that really boils down to how talented the person is at retouching. I mean, you can edit film photos the same way you edit digital because yuo can simply scan negatives into the computer using a fancy schmancy negative scanner.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to preference and the person. It doesn't matter what medium you use nor what camera - it's all about the artist/photographer, not the equipment!
