How my Digital Camera Helps My Art
I just got my first digital camera last week- it's used and has lower pixels than the newer ones out there. Still, I am very happy. Here's some things I have noticed already:
1. The most obvious is that I can take a photo and tell immediately if it has been correctly exposed or if I need to take it again. And generally tell if the photo shoot has been a success. Saves from having to call the person back to get better shots.
2. The biggest benefit is to take shots of my work in progress and put it in Photoshop next to my original photo. With both of them the same size and next to each other, my eye is really helped to see what I need to correct. The mistakes jump out at me. Somehow, this works when other methods don't.
3. At least with my lower-end camera, the cools and warms are semi-posterized. I had been reading about how cool and warm tones alternate around the form, but with my digital prints, I can see it easier than I could with my prints taken with film.
It would be interesting to hear others' thoughts about how a digital camera has helped them.....
