I desperately enjoy being interviewed, but no one asks me the questions I want to answer. I'll take this opportunity, therefore, to fake a truly satisfying Q&A session. Here goes.
Say, Chuck...your photos are lightyears ahead of where they were a few months ago. What's up with that? Did you take a class, or something?
No. My office bought a new camera which comes with more pixels than the average person has brain cells.
Yeah, that's great, but everyone knows that a computer monitor only has 72 pixel-per-inch resolution capability. So a basic cheapo camera has more than enough info, and if you spend more your wasting your money. Y' know what I'm saying? So how do you get that 3-D depth into your images?
A superior lens, plus superior camera functionality (shutter and aperture priority, etc.) yields a better image for the camera to convert into all of those pixels. Then, all of the info yielded by those pixels is available for Adobe to play with.
Oh. So you're trying to say there is an advantage to a superfine digital camera?
I guess so.
What about the vibrant colors you get....are they a product of a good camera?
No. That's Adobe Photoshop.
