Canon A-1 vs Canon AE-1 & making artistic images?
So basically i’m new to traditional SLR photography. My friend owns a Canon AE-1 and produces BEAUTIFUL artistic, grainy, colorful, flawed images (which I want to do also!). They look quite lomographic (I think thats the right word) The guy at the store said if I was going to get an AE-1 that I might as well get the A-1 and that it could do the same and more as the AE-1. Well, basically the A-1 produces images that are “too clear” for me, and even with the same film as my friend uses for her AE-1, it looks almost like a digital photo. I think i’m going to take it back to exchange for an AE-1 instead. Can someone with photo advice help me choose whether or not this is a good idea? Thanks so much for your help.
There is nothing wrong with your camera. If you want flawed images you should just buy a lomo camera or a diana. your friends camera is old and is desperate need of maintaince.
You actually got a well functioning canon a1. (which is an updated model of the ae1.
Really you have two options.
One. Buy a lomo or diane
two. Drop your camera on the floor and throw it in the wash cycle of your washing machine. That ought to damage your camera sufficiently to get the result you are after.
the canon a1 were percise tools made for serious photographers who were serious about learning their craft (exposure, composition and light).
Lomo and diane were toys made for people who find inaccurate, poorly made cameras, artistic

The Art of Photography (Paperback) $59.92 This is an updated and newly revised edition of the classic book The Art of Photography (originally published in 1994), which has often been described as the most readable, understandable, and complete textbook on photography. With well over 100 beautiful photographic illustrations in both black-and-white and color, as well as numerous charts, graphs, and tables, this book presents the world of photography to beginner, intermediate, and advanced photographers seeking to make a personal statement through the medium of photography. Without talking down to anyone, or talking over anyone`s head, Barnbaum presents "how to" techniques for both traditional and digital approaches. Yet he goes well beyond the technical, as he delves deeply into the philosophical, expressive, and creative aspects of photography so often avoided in other books. Bruce Barnbaum is recognized as one of the world`s finest landscape and architectural photographers, and for decades has been considered one of the best instructors in the field of photography. This latest incarnation of his textbook, which has evolved, grown, and been refined over the past 35 years, will prove to be an ongoing, invaluable photographic reference for years to come. It is truly the resource of choice for the thinking photographer. |
