Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

even in the old days of film processors used to touch up the image before printing, they had lots of tricks same as the digital dark room

I want to have the skill to capture a good photo in the first place.

Andy, indeed! I loved the darkroom. My mum blames it for me wearing glasses as I was always in there in the good old B&W days :)

HP, indeed and I think that is the key to photography! I am with Cuddy on the digital manipulation becoming a bit annoying. I like to actually create the photo in the wild, digital or not. I am rather partial to landscape and am VERY tempted to get myself one of those old, huge, plate camera's, cart it up onto the hill and compose a landscape and photograph it, much like you would paint a watercolour of it. In B&W as well...

Mind, I am glad for RAW files and photoshop for work. I photograph all the works of art for our catalogues, saving a vast fortune on fees. I use two builders lights, my old tripod and a reconditioned Nikon D80. I then transfer the RAW files to the computer and use photoshop to crop and adjust lighting. It looks like I have used expensive studio lights! I do have one of those pop out light tents for small sculpture and ceramics though. Mighty useful for glazed pieces!

I am frustrated by the quality of my phone camera and my old, waterproof and shockproof, olympus Miu... The latter isn't half bad, but still not what I'd like. I cycle a lot in the hills and come accross the most fantastic landscapes. I find a compact camera isn't quite capable of catching the light the way my old Nikon SLR's did or even my father's old Voigtlander Vito B I started of with on the photography path. Practically, I used to be a much better photographer than I am now. This leads me to believe that the camera is as important as the eye of the photographer...

I've had good results with a Panasonic TZ-7 in the past. It was quite good in lower light occasions. I need to get to know my Nikon DSLR a lot better...I just don't have time at the moment.

I was looking at a panasonic compact with a zeiss lense that had a reasonable amount of manipulation options, manually... and I think a good lense is of the essence. Alas a DSLR is too big, bulky and vulnereable to carry around with me...

I used to go on walks etc specifically to take photo's in the past. Now I just like to have a camera with me for when I come accross something I want to photograph...
