Welcome to Digital Photo Advice

The major advantage digital photography has over film photography is that you in control from start to finish. It's up to you to get the exposure correct and use the file produced to maximum effect.

In the old days you exposed your film, took it into your local photo shop or sent it off to a mail order lab. After a few days you would get your prints or transparencies back.

Processing was very variable, I can remember sending a film off to a mail order firm only to receive 36 prints all with a pink cast on every shot. As the photos were taken over a week with variable weather conditions there's no doubt the processing was to blame.

I sometimes felt that my photographs were ruined by poor processing but since I switched to digital there's only one person to blame - me. Isn't it wonderful to be in control?

Happy photo taking

G.P.B.
