black and white<\/a>\u2026 perhaps.<\/p>\nOK, those are two extremes. Somewhere in-between lies my Panasonic Lumix, point and shoot. It’s light, but has a decent lens, and I am going to subjectively say that it produces about the same quality as a 35mm film camera. Smoother images and better at low light perhaps, but without the full frame advantage of a film SLR. What I think I mean, is that I equate the digital noise it produces, to be similar to 400 ISO film noise. I did say this was a purely subjective comment, didn’t I?<\/p>\n
But the, rather rambling, point which I am trying make, is that I’m not sure that photographer is really the right title in the first place. I use a camera. But I also use a computer. And film. Sometimes I even use video, sound and text. That being the case, does the camera or lens that I use matter any more than the keyboard on my desk, or the music I have in the background, as I work through some textual narrative? Actually, perhaps it does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
