I have a file of thirty or so and the display changes every thirty minutes.<br />I also just ordered a bunch of postcards from moo.com so I can share some of my favourites with distant friends.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-65002092911397753122010-08-09T22:41:07.139-04:002010-08-09T22:41:07.139-04:00I so so agree about the joy of being able to shoot...I so so agree about the joy of being able to shoot the same scene endless numbers of time with digital memory.

I am still learning how my camera works, and digital means that I can take limitless pictures until I find one that I like. It has been the BEST way to learn. I know what I like when I see it...but there's no way that I could have afforded to take pictures like I do now with film. And the editing capabilities....ahhh! However, I am a huge fan of trying to get it right the first time. I am a huge lover of amazing natural lighting and wide apertures. I haven't mastered indoor lighting yet (blech) or nighttime lighting (LOVE the sign!)

When on holidays in the past I carefully used my film by taking only a few great photos only to find when they were developed that very few were great! Now I can take as many as I like in as many different ways and go through them at my leisure, keeping only those that I like and I learn more of what works etc as i go along - although I am very much an amateur!Marilyn & Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851884880790561276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-48840868474417993902010-08-09T14:43:36.514-04:002010-08-09T14:43:36.514-04:00it has SO opened up my life and my eye!

I remember those days of counting the cost of film. When my daughter was first born that is what I did. <br /><br />I got my first digital camera when she was four months. That first day I think I spent an hour while she was napping shooting pictures of her, at least 50 of her little feet. Getting every angle and bit of cuteness those little toes had. Of course I didn't keep all 50 of those, they weren't all great or perfect, but the ability to look at each one and decide what to keep and what to delete was wonderful. I was hooked! <br /><br />I still drive my husband crazy by taking multiple shots of everything working on getting just the right one.Tracie Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908908021649000930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-57319470446598749332010-08-09T12:38:59.635-04:002010-08-09T12:38:59.635-04:00The upside?

And they have so many chances to get it right. <br /><br />The downside? So many people take hundreds or thousands of pictures, only to file them away on their computer hard drive and forget about them. I like holding pictures in my hand or putting them up on my wall where they remind me of the moments and the memories.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901886302578503906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-13093149018056807082010-08-09T11:23:59.540-04:002010-08-09T11:23:59.540-04:00No doubt about it, I shoot more now than I did whe...No doubt about it, I shoot more now than I did when each shot cost money. I've always approached the craft with the idea that you "never take one shot when two will do the job" because "film is cheap compared to the priceless image you got because you took the second shot". That said, it's <i>extremely</i> unlikely that I would have expended 4 full rolls of film to get one shot of a full moon that I liked. And yet, I did exactly the digital equivalent of that in trying to establish a baseline exposure for said full moon a couple of years ago.<br /><br />The biggest benefits of digital for me personally are: EXIF data and <i>vastly</i> expanded night-photography capability. I can get away with exposures on digital I wouldn't have even <i>attempted</i> on film. And if they don't work out, I have EXIF to help me figure out why (not).Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.com
