FIRST Photography: How do YOU cover it?

[Rick TYler]

I just want to toss out two ideas for the young camera gadget nuts in the forum.

1. Film has a much wider range of colors than digital. We gave up a lot when we abandoned Kodachrome.

2. The photographer matters a lot more than the gadgets. If you have an eye for composition, it doesn't much matter what kind of camera you have. If you doubt that, take a look at the WWII combat pics, nearly all taken with TLR cameras, or photojournalism from the 50's. Lots of incredible pics using cameras that frequently didn't even have built-in light meters.

It's fun to play with the hardware, but that's not what makes memorable images.
