Lou Nemeth, who photographed the liberation of Buchenwald to the legends of Broadway, passed away this week. In a September 2010 conversation in the New York Times lobby, he tells about making an iconic image of Louis Armstrong and Mitch Miller and the progression from Speed graphic to pocket digital cameras like the one that caught this moment (Ricoh CX-1, the first CMOS compact).

DISCOUNT LINK WWW.AMAZON.COM Customer Reviews: “What do you call people like me? Photo-aspirants? I’m not a professional photographer. But I shoot images all the time, sometimes a dozen or two a day, trying to create a picture other people will find curious, entertaining, weird, surprising, silly, shocking: “refrigerator-quality,” I guess. Kris Hermanns told me her mother had a device like this, that printed postcards from digital cameras. I bought it on that slight recommendation. I had a new Canon PowerShot A620. I had a trip to France on the calendar. Kismet. I’ve always used film. I was a film snob: I wanted beautiful images. The first photo that came off this Selphy CP730 printer blew me across the room. The color was intense, perfect, gorgeous; and in my hand in less than a minute, printed on glossy stock with a postcard back. I compared it to a film print and couldn’t tell the difference. It was this printer, in fact, that convinced me that digital photography was as good as film. Not just “as good as” — better, because of the control you have over color. Anybody want some aging, unexposed film? I’ve never gone back. My system (which I sometimes pack up and travel with) includes my Canon digital camera, the Selphy printer, my MacBook loaded with iPhoto (which allows me to manipulate). It’s a seamless, no-issues production process. I often pump out a half-dozen curious images a day, to send to friends, colleagues, family. It keeps me in touch with them at low cost …
If I use a Film Use pro Camera lens with a digital pro camera, will it work? My dad has a Nikon N2020 and I was wondering if we can just remove the really long lens of the camera and fit it onto a digital Pro. camera’s body. The lens is pretty long and kindof expensive but now since digital cameras are here, I dont want to replace the lens. Any help please?
I have a Sigma auto-focus camera lens that had been used on a Minolta Maxxum 5000 SLR camera. The camera is now gone, but the lens remains. It is a 70mm – 210mm zoom lens with an F4 – F5.6 aperture. I don’t want to go back to film, but that lens worked great. Are there any digital camera that it will fit?
I’m not a heavy-duty professional photographer, and I don’t have the time or money to research and pay for a 0-0 D-SLR camera and match it with the correct fish-eye wide angle lens. In fact, I do most of my photography on my iPhone’s camera, my cheap-o Sony point-and-shoot (DSC-W55), or Polaroids. However, I have recently taken a great bit of interest in the trendy look of a shot taken by a fish-eye lens.
So my question is: on a budged of about 0-0, are there any digital cameras out there that can take a decent fish-eye picture by default or by fairly simple (and inexpensive) upgrade?
(Note: I would prefer to not be recommended a point-and-shoot with a gimmicky after-effect filter that simulates a fish-eye lens style photo.)
Here’s a cheap way to get awesome Macro video or photos using just the 18-55mm kit lens. This is not limited to the Canon EOS 550D, it will work on all Digital Cameras. More information at cheesycam.com
artoftheimage.blogspot.com – Who says Pro’s only use top end equipment? It’s a popular misconception, but the old axiom has never been truer than it is today… “It’s the photographer behind the camer.” A good photographer can take a great photo with any of today’s DSLR digital cameras as shown by PRO photographer Joe Farace who uses a Canon 50D, Canon Rebel XTi, and Canon Rebel XT for his Glamour Photography.
