Digital photography/videography has been a passion since I
bought my first HP 1-Megapixel camera in the mid 90s. Every year the technology and software gets
better and better, and I’m amazed with the options available today—both mobile
and in DSLR. This past week we went to Orlando
for the weekend (extension to a business trip) and I had a chance to snap
some touristy pics of our adventures. In
the past, I would have left my DSLR at home in favor of a pocket device &
being able to quickly snap pics ‘good enough’ to quickly post. Without the
lure of being able to post a real-time photomentary--I now have this. My review:
Good
- Quality of DSLR photos is double that of the snaps on our iPhones
- Click/shutter speed is super fast
- Battery life on my camera is fantastic—I haven’t charged the battery in a month
Bad
- A DSLR doesn’t fit in a pocket and looks
slightlydorky - Have to download photos, then move them around to put them out on Google photos, etc.
- Miss some shots because of the convenience factor
- By the time you share the photos--the event is old news. There is a tremendous lure in the immediacy of the share. (Even as a reader, it’s more engaging to see friends stuff as it is happening.)
- Photo editing apps (Photoshop Fix) are easier/faster/better on mobile vs PC
Confession
- I shared the photos with Craig, who posted them on his feed. That’s kind of cheating, but it was a lot easier than sending my mother 50 texts of what we were doing.
Here are some of my favorite snaps. https://goo.gl/photos/GSr1kbiTs1DgeZSh6
Another Good: Given their quality, the photos taken with DSLR are more likely to be remembered... by either framing or putting in a photo album.
