BA(HONS) PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIA: Digital Photography at Crosby Beach

The major advantage with using Digital Photography is the speed in which you are able to view your recorded image. It is therefore advantageous to use your DSLR as a light metering tool to capture a correctly exposed image before photographing using film. In this sense you can be extra confident that you are exposing the film correctly and also have the advantage of playing around with compositional elements before committing to your final film shot.

I used this method before taking my Seascape views on the 5 x 4 camera.

Just a shame that the 60mph winds caused havoc in regards to the tripod staying steady on the uneven ground of the beach; however I did manage to capture 1 focussed image on my 2nd attempt.

Due to the day not being the most sensible of days to take large format photographs, I also ensured that I captured different Seascape photographs with my Canon 50D, to which I hope to later use and be experimental with by combining them with my previous Digital imagery from South Africa . . . to create contrasting effects.
