In a very short span of time, I’d say less than a decade more and more people started using digital cameras. At first, many professional photographers never thought digital photography would ever compete with film. I shot with film for many years using 35mm, medium format, to 4×5 sheet films. The negative was king and the bigger the negative the better the quality and resolution of the print. Digital photography hit the pro market around 2002-2003, and I remember shooting with some digital cameras that just plain sucked. They gave new meaning to the word noise. I don’t even think collectors would collect these paper weights. Professionals need to walk softly and carried a big stick, so to speak. We approached with caution and never trusted anything of value to a camera that created an electronic image. Amazing how things change and some photographers totally left film behind, or did they?
I think that digital made it easier for the consumer to become more successful with capturing an image. Digital like most new technologies is usually tested on the consumer market first and then fine tuned for the professional market. For professionals it’s about quality not quantity. We live in a world of instantaneous viewing and sharing through the use of cell phones, iPhones, iPads, Facebook, and the list continues. In an instant, have photographers lost the art of photography? Do they settle for an image because they now have an image?

Photographs nowadays can be manipulated through digital format. There is no debate that this advancement in technology has made photography more acceptable to many. Unlike in film formats where only those who are really eager to know the basics of composition, aperture, focal length, exposure time and film ISO, are the once producing wonderful photographs. Nowadays, there could be the new terms like crop, saturize, and many other digital terms that are used by many so called photographers to enhance their photographs.
Come to think of it, photography has come a long way. Before the technologically advanced digital SLR’s and the handy digital point and shoot cameras, there came a time when cameras where actually gargantuan in size (literally). Photography simply means, the art of drawing with light, and with the technology during the beginnings of photography; there is no such thing as a hole placed in a handheld device called camera. Everything before was bulky as they come. It was only later in years when the development of twin lens reflex cameras, rangefinders, and single lens reflex cameras turned cameras to becoming handy.
