Digital Photography is a really pain sometimes. There are so many variables that we have to consider when working on digital files. Monitor calibration, printer calibration. What looks good on our monitor may be nat actually correct, it made over or under exposed, the colors may Look bad on our monitor, but they are actually correct. What we can control however is how bright or dark the image is and we can do that by using levels. I discuss using levels that is not dependent on monitor calibration or expensive calibrating equipment.

Ever struggled with the decision to switch camera systems and felt overwhelmed by all the options? Join me as I share my personal photographic journey, starting from my early days with Minolta in the 1980s, through my experiences with Nikon, Sigma, and Fuji. We'll explore the complex blend of technology, personal preferences, and sometimes brutal financial realities that can influence such a decision. From the heartache of parting with favorite gear to the thrill of discovering new capabilities, this episode is your guide to understanding the practical and emotional landscapes behind changing camera systems.
We'll tackle the distinct needs of landscape versus sports photographers and how different camera systems cater to these demands. Whether it's the allure of medium format for stunning landscapes or the necessity for high-speed autofocus in sports, the choices can be daunting. We'll also touch on the power of brand loyalty, the often irresistible lure of corporate marketing, and the notorious Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) that tempts us all. Reflect on your own camera journey and consider whether new equipment truly fills an unmet need or simply satisfies a craving for the latest tech. Let's navigate the world of camera switching together, balancing desire with practicality.

OK ok . . . So I've been shooting professionally since 1985 and I've used quite a few cameras over the years. Here is what I used an why I used them. I paid some "Stupid Tax" a few time switching camera systems when I didn't need to. Don't do what I did!! My advise is Find a system you like and stick with it. All modern cameras are great, one may come out with some really cool feature your camera doesn't have but give your camera some time, maybe they will follow suit!! Don't jump ship and loose all kinds of money because you "NEED" the latest and greatest . . . unless of course you have money to burn! haha :)
