Just over a year ago, when I would give talks on outdoor photography, I wouldn’t even mention digital! I was a die-hard film guy, and nothing was going to change me. The more I read about digital, the more I began to have a real interest in the subject. I soon had the feeling that if I didn’t get on the bandwagon soon, I would be left in the dust. Late in 2005 I bought my first digital camera. It was a SLR that would use all my lenses. Then came 2006, when I began using the digital only. I have not used any film since! Not being a genius on the computer, it has been a learning experience all the way, which I have fallen in love with. My “tip” or just plain advice is very simple. Try digital! You don’t have to buy a five thousand dollar camera to start. The digital point & shoot cameras work very well, and have great optics, with a low price tag. I now find I have the freedom to take better pictures, because I can see instantly what my exposure is, how my focus and background is, and if it isn’t right, I erase it. Digital may not be for everyone, but it works for me. My photography is all still “natural”. No “superimposing” scenes or animals that shouldn’t be there. I do use the computer to brighten and sharpen the images, when necessary, but what you see is really there! Yes, I still have my film cameras. That’s what got me here, I just can’t let them out to pasture!! Check my galleries. I’ll bet you can’t tell which are digital or film!!?
