The Digital Photography Era

By Shawn Smith


With all the fast moving nature of technology, and progression of faster and greater products, photography has experienced an enormous rise in popularity. No longer must you have to be an expert and have done professional photography courses but with practice and a handful of suggestions, the everyday individual can be a fairly good photographer. The development of digital camera hardware means that the photographs can be of a fantastic standard. Digital SLR cameras are capable of making some incredible photographs and all you require is to make sure your camera has been charged overnight.

Some of the best companies currently include Lumix which is created by Panasonic and supported by world-renowned professional photographer Ken Duncan. Others include Sony and Nikon. Ken is regarded as one of Australia's most celebrated panoramic photographers and obtained prominence for his landmark work with panoramic landscapes and limited edition photographic prints.I'm personally a fan of Lumix and have seen some incredible photographs been taken with this brand of camera. The digital cameras I have tried personally have features that make stunning photography effortless.

However a negative with these high end and powered digital cameras means that people with money and no talent can produce shots better than they would have previously and thus many who claim to be professional photographers are just average who have great equipment. The purity of skilled photographers have been decreased. This has saddened me on many levels. It becomes much more difficult to determine which professional photographer is offering value for service.

I have had a number of bad experiences where in the end, I have had to fork out more money for a studio to fix images because they were that poor. So I suggest that you do your research extensively and get quotes and listen to any friends who have used professional photographers before.

I would be interested in hearing any stories and comments from readers with any bad stories.
