OT: Digital Photography

Thread- Since the thread seems to be slow lately(I'm guessing due to the sideways market), I thought I would throw in my $.02 on the photography topic.

ZO- You may want to consider how capable digital cameras can handle light. They are far superior in handling varying levels of light than chemical film can ever do. In other words digital can capture light quality more accurately(like our eyeballs). Digital cameras understand what it sees. Film cannot. Film only sees the 'average' light flooding through the aperature. Whereas a digital camera can process light 'discretely' across the full composition of the image being captured.

So in spite of it's resolution problems, that you are accurately describing, I decided not to pursue creating my own darkroom because I'm seriously thinking about switching over to a digital camera due to it's superior ability to process light.

Also consider digital can shoot dark indoor photos where film cameras never dare. I have a fairly sophisticated film camera system and I'm jealous when peeking into the view finder of a tourist inside the Notre Dame capturing images with a $200 digital camera that I wouldn't be able to do on the fly. I would need a minute of exposure time, on a tripod, with my film camera. And then, after all that work, I would get hot spots whereas the digital image does not. -MikeM(From Florida)
