Fast forward to digital


Much has been written and argued elsewhere about the learning curve of digital photography. You see so many digital cameras these days, everyone is a photographer now, right? If you suggest that the person takes the picture, not the camera, you'll likely be flamed and abused. Try saying it somewhere like dpreview.

Digital cameras offer instant feedback, so you can learn, change, improve. You have to be paying attention, though. Really, though, you still see plenty of photographs that suck, erm, that could use some improvement; people with red eyes, with harsh shadows on the wall behind. So maybe we're not all excellent photographers after all.
