You see a future for digital photography? A feeding frenzy in the radical question of digital camera marketing. Digital photography for me is the best thing that ever happened to photography. But, what is your future? A question difficult to answer, and possibly a loaded.
Film photography has always been known as just ' photography ', never film photography. Was the norm. With the emergence of digital photography, this standard has been disputed. My question is: "digital photography becomes the default or remain ugly sister of photography"?
I think he will always remain the "poor cousin" of the film's cinematographer unless two things happen:
1. all digital cameras have to develop to the point that they are equivalent in quality to the film camera more basic. They must eradicate the discussion of digital vs. film there should be no difference between the two formats. Digital cameras more guys are getting closer of this pattern, but the point and shoot models cannot compete with their counterparts from the film. I think with the pace of development, despite an economic downturn, consumers are demanding lower end cameras that need improving in quality. Although, truth photography is all about the SLR and I think we're on the way to the quality needed to compete with film cameras.
2. There is a change of mindset that quantity is better than quality. Thought that was to take a photo with the film virtually disappeared. The speed with which digital images are withdrawn degrades the results of good photography. This is evidenced by the quality of images submitted to contests, placed in forums and displayed on blogs. If this mentality changes and let's start putting more thought in photography he pleases many digital as an art form.
How can we change it to that digital is synonymous with photography? Personally, I think the key is education and learning. In the same way that digital photography has changed the face of digital photography has changed the face of the publication.
Great Learning Material is available in electronic form as free education or education with reasonable prices. Now it is cheap and easy to learn about photography and improvement techniques. You don't need an expensive course or a diploma to radically improve your images. Is as simple as buying an ebook or electronic course. Many have money back guarantees for which the risk is minimal. Easy to find and easy to learn. The key is to learn photography and digital photography not only.
When was the photograph of the film was perceived as an art and great care was exercised in the implementation. It was gave origin and developed with this mentality and, related to the costs involved, remained primarily as an art form. Even the masses exercised care in their practice.
But with digital photography is very different. What has done is make the form of art cheaper, simpler and faster. Whenever you add these three factors for anything in life, he opens the door to technical loss, bottom quality and decreased the value. This is seen by billions of electronic images that remain on DVDs, hard disks and memory cards, unappreciated and without value.
It is in this world that the art of photography must find their place and raise its head again from the chaos of digital. Digital is the best thing since sliced bread. The only question that now needs to be answered is the occasion and become the new art form or will be the vehicle that is responsible for the loss of a great art form?
