Where can I learn about digital photography?
I’ve just bought the new Pentax K100D digital SLR. Where (or how) can I learn more about digital photography, because apart from playing around with a little compact Pentax digital camera for the past few weeks, I’m new to digital photography – note, not photography, just digital photography. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
There is little difference between digital and film photography. It is still an art form and requires a certain amount of natural talent, not to mention a lot of practice. I too just replaced a broken Toshiba (loaned it out-that won’t happen again) with a Pentax SLR. Since I do a good deal of macro work, the 18 to 55mm lens that came with it is perfect for my work. For years I did most of my film work with a Miranda and so the Pentax is very similar. Much of my stuff can be used with either. I did just get the remote for it yesterday. Found one on eBay for $11.00 including postage. That’s a heck of a lot better than the $60 Pentax wants for theirs.
There are many web sites where you can “pick brains” with other users of DSLRs, though, except for all the new electronic bells and whistles, (digital zoom with out having to wait to get film processed for example) and the fact that as high a pixel count you can now get, digital is still many times away from film as far as overall quality goes. But for most work of 8×10 or less, digital can give good results.
