Never really learned what I was doing, because I never had the money to experiment, no chance of darkroom time. With digital, I can play with it, get instant feedback, erase, try again. <BR/><BR/>Film is no doubt wonderful for the wealthy and the pros, but for the rest of us, digital is a more usable tool. <BR/><BR/>Much the same as my preferences with pottery, loved throwing and trimming, didn't care about the glazing, since the firing was done by the pottery owner after a long delay.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-33671307563485340362009-01-31T13:24:00.000+00:002009-01-31T13:24:00.000+00:00It could be an excuse for lazy writing, you're rig...It could be an excuse for lazy writing, you're right. And nowadays when atention spans are limited and dull elves prolific, writers can't be too careful. <BR/>The use of the phrase "typical errors" is, by the way,an interesting example of how language evolves, isn't it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-3625112050023536722009-01-31T11:58:00.000+00:002009-01-31T11:58:00.000+00:00It's OK when Jane Austen uses that as an explanati...It's OK when Jane Austen uses that as an explanation.

I even seem to take series of about 20 to 30 snaps and then download them and then format the card. And yet the luxury of being able to crop and edit has changed photography in a way beyond imagining. I love your squirrel photos.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642126053527835870noreply@blogger.com
