My dream camera is a 4x5 view camera that can auto focus, light enough to carry around without a pack mule, be hand held as easily as work on a tripod, comes with both film and digital backs, take about 10 fps, image stabilized lenses that cover all focal lengths and are tack sharp, and to get it all for under $500. With the computer chip, someday that just might be the norm, but not in my lifetime.
Seriously the point is technology is going to change. It changed with film. I used to love trying the latest new film that was just being released, and they all reacted just a bit differently. Just because we went digital for the most part, that is not going to stop. New tools offer new opportunities and new challenges.
Scott Kelby once said on a podcast the only two things you can't adjust in Photoshop are ISO and bad photography. But being able to adjust does not have to lead to sloppy technique. I think of Photoshop as make up for a woman. A really pretty woman with a little make up that is properly applied can be enhanced to look super model gorgeous. Put makeup on Rin Tin Tin and you still have a dog.

This is why I prefer full frame 35 mm over the half frames so I have more room in my picture.Now I haven't tried to save an object by using the skew command I have eliminated most of an object using the skew command . It was a 20mm lens on a full frame camera at the Sarah Duke Garden Flower pond. the concrete border intruded too much in the back of the picture so I made it smaller with the skew command.In a message dated 8/15/2011 9:29:26 A.M.
