What is a good photograph?

 
Look at this photograph. Do you like it?
 
This is one of my favorite photographs. Now, many of you will cry out: That is a terrible photograph!
 
Technically, I agree, there is a lot wrong with this photograph. It is quite noisy, underexposed, shaky, and I was zooming while pressing the shutter. I don’t know what else I could have done wrong. Yet, I love this picture.

Thoughts on film versus digital photography

Digital vs. Film

 

What do you do after you take the picture?

I used to only view my photos on my computer screen when I started shooting digital. For a long long time, I did not print any photos. This was mainly for convenience. Shooting film after a long break and getting photos printed reminded me how much I enjoy printed photos as opposed to viewing them on a monitor. I am not sure of the exact reason, but for me it just is that way. After that, I started to print my digital photos as well, and it is just much better. If you shoot digital and never print any photos, give it a try, I think you will enjoy it much much more!
