What’s Gotta Stay

I know, it seems backwards that putting more into a camera does not necessarily mean your photos will automatically look better than your typical point-and-shoot variety.  This is a common frustration that I hear all the time and truthfully went through myself.

This is not to say you can’t get the perfect exposure and colors that do not require any editing, really you can.  It is just more common, though, that nice SLRs are going to accurately capture the scene in stunning quality that you can then develop in your digital darkroom.  This may be frustrating, but in the end you can create a better work of art rather than just a snapshot of what you saw.

This topic is well covered in an article I caught over on LeggNet’s site today.  Hop on over and give it a read and see a stunning example of what is captured to what is the final result.

On a side note, Rich mentions being a big fan of Kenneth Linge.  All of my photography skills I have acquired have come from online reading, some books and a large dose of trial and error.  For the first time I am investing in my craft outside of equipment and have enrolled in Kenneth’s next seminar in January on photographing people.  I am excited to see what I can glean from a long time pro in a training setting.
