It would not be an overstatement to say that the transition to digital from film has revolutionized the art of photography. It is a change which I have wholeheartedly embraced, however, the shift did not come without presenting challenges to me. I have always considered myself to be competent in the use of the basic tool of photography...that being...the camera. The switch from a film camera to its digital counterpart did not present significant difficulties for me, however, I began my studies and work in photography in an era where we swirled chemicals around in trays in dimly lit red rooms to produce the negatives and prints that would become the final products of our imaging process. I was never schooled in the computer software that was required to "post process" the images I had captured digitally from their raw file incarnations. This is still an ongoing process for me and as I continue learning the depth of the myriad of software programs that can be employed to bring out the full potential of my digital images it has allowed me to go back over my older image files and re-post process them. As my skills in post processing continue to grow no doubt I'll be revisiting some of these images yet again to further improve them. I hope you like what I have achieved so far.
