Analogue Vs Digital

Analogue photography is so different from using digital it really does make you think a lot more when you are taking a picture, your surroundings, the lighting and composition to name only a few. When you take the shot you have no option of looking at the image on the screen at the back of the camera so I find you tend to be a lot more aware certain things when taking a picture.

In some ways, I think this is a good thing as opposed to just taking as many shots as you like on a digital camera and being able to see how they look after they’re taken.

Analogue photography is best used when you have a lot more time and you’ve chosen to follow a certain kind of theme which I think is a really good thing, although I have spent a lot of time shooting a whole film and sometimes after developing I’ve only been happy with two or three photographs out of thirty-five, I guess this is because I’m in the early stages and still learning how to use Analogue.

Digital would be so good to use if you’re in a situation where you need to get the right photo in a short space of time, depending on what size card you have in the camera you can almost shot as many as you like with also having the option of being able to delete images that you’re not pleased with.

In terms of settings you do have so many more things that can be changed when taking photos, in some ways, this makes it obvious why digital is used by paparazzi and even with sports photography.

Digital photography is the use by everyone nowadays and it does allow you to make mistakes without you having to worry too much about it so in some ways it’s better than shooting with film.

I really like using analogue and it’s been great to learn the process of developing film and working in the dark room and it’ll be something I’ll carry on doing for sure, but if you’re working for a company who’ve given you some kind of commission or project that needs to be done and the picture needs to be exactly what there looking for then you would have to use digital for sure, especially when you could shoot an entire film and you don’t have the image that was needed for the customer.
