Photography ‘grammar’ posted on 4th of march, 2009

>There are lots of talks about stock photography and the special ingredients to make it sellable. Like everything else photography has its own grammar, such as contrast, lighting, composition, and other aspects to make a good photo. Yet, often times a photo violating common rules could be striking and make it a superb photo. I guess this is all the fun of photography.

‘Grammar or not, the only way to produce good photos is to take out your camera and take pictures.’ A professional photographer friend of mine said to me. This is way I always have a point and shoot camera with me all the time. The same friend said that he was puzzled that lots of times after an assignment his editor would choose the ‘mediocre’ photo against his recommended artistic version. I guess personal...

My photo bank posted on 9th of march, 2009

As I am pondering whether going to total digital, I remembered my portable disk full of scanned photos from the last few years. It is a great fun digging out those photos and remembered the day and night spent in extreme weather sometime trying to get a good photo.

I would still take photos film or digital, but when I am at home I could always work on these saved photos. This is like savings in a bank. The only difference is that you always make deposits and the benefit is longer term, and the pool is always growing bigger. Apart from bringing back good old memories, they could bring some financial return in the long run.

I agree, as a late convert to digital, I must admit I have never looked back in terms of cost savings, I have definately got full value out of my digital SLR's. - posted by Fultonsphoto on March 09, 2009

I've started shooting digital about 3 years ago with a Canon Rebel XT/350D. At Christmas this year the price of the newest Rebel is about half of what I paid 3 years ago, but I have no regrets. With 3 years of use and close to 100,000s shutter clicks, the savings of not using film and developing cost far outweigh the initial cost of purchasing a digital SLR. I hope that helps. Cheers. - posted by Retina2020 on March 09, 2009
