Storage of photos whilst travelling?
Following up to Mxsmanic
I don't see any reason digital is specially unsuitable to landscape. Low resolution. You started there. You have snipped my reasons why that is not a landscape related issue. Digital has low resolution compared to film. This is not a landscape specific issue. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, Thames path, London, landscapes "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

... "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/pict067.htm" ... "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/pict106.htm" ... "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/waspic200.htm" ... ... It also has tremendous depth of field:- ... "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/pict163.htm" Great pics, really - but I can't believe you took them with a 17mm ! I don't keep records, so there is always the possibility of faulty memory, but the majority would certainly be with my trusty 17mm, maybe one with a lens I no longer have. (You may already know this) Because "background" features will appear very far away and a lot of scenery will be included there are a few considerations with ultra wide. There must be wide open space to photograph, You need a good sky unless you are going to crop the final image or you are going to point the camera down to emphasise foreground. You must be very close to the background object. A potentially good ultra wide angle subject is not apparent to the naked eye (as with long telephoto), you have to develop a way of seeing. Look for interesting patterns in your immediate vicinity. This is a poor dark scan (must redo it) but "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/pict157.htm" the mountain at the back was towering in the real landscape and the frozen tufts of grass insignificant, wide angle reversed the reality. Looking through "the art and techniques of eight modern (landscape) masters" I note the lenses used for my favourites are 15-24 or 200-300. Steven C Wilson's work has a majority at 15mm. Franco Fontana seems to work mostly at around 20mm or 300mm!! -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, Thames path, London, landscapes "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Nice. Made me shivver just looking at it! Brrr! -- Tim. If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. |

Digital SLR any lense you like, what do you have already ? Get one fro mthe same manufacturer and you don't have to get a whole new set of lenses. But remember a half frame camera doubles your focal length. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, Thames path, London, landscapes "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Obviously a gross over-simplification. For most uses there is no significant loss of resolution in using a digital camera. I have discovered the hard way that it's best to get the highest possible resolution when you initially press the shutter, because you can't go back and increase it later on. I've had too many shots that were unusable later on simply because I didn't have enough resolution to allow for the intended use. That's one reason why I shoot film, and that's also why I shoot an increasing amount of medium-format film. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

A smaller undertaking is to keep your photos on a hard disk that you back up to DVD every so often :-) When you get into the hundreds of gigabytes, this becomes impractical as well. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

How many do you keep, where do you put them, and what do you do with them? I keep all but the ones that are seriously mechanically flawed (out of focus, way over- or under-exposed). I burn them onto CD-R and if I am feeling ambitious, print out contact sheets. If the photos were from a trip, then whoever accompanied me (and sometimes their parents, if I know them) gets a copy of the CD. A small number of the photos go on my web site and the rest sit in a drawer until I'm feeling nostalgic. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |
