Lumière d’Argent

I am more productive in digital. I think. Probably a bit early to tell, but in the few weeks I have had the 5D, I have done more than in the few month before. I do spend more time outside and that was the major hope. The time I spend inside working on the shooting results is more productive too, mostly because there is no developing/scanning/dust spotting, but also because the files are smaller than scans, so everything is quicker.

All this is of course paleolithic news to most digital converts, but it is all new to me. It really, actually works, including for black and white photography. Quality is a non-issue, it is great, nothing to regret, nothing to boast of compared to the view camera.

Versatility is a great asset.

Hey! That’s complete news to me! When I ordered the TS-E lenses, it was clear in my mind that it was to replace the movements I had with the view camera as well as getting great lenses. It implied using them only on tripod. Well, no. With a TS-E, movements can very easily be used hand-held. That’s a complete new world for me!
