The world of digital images is amazing to me. I love taking pictures, uploading them to my computer, and manipulating them to make them look their best. Being able to create and print a quality photo and putting it into a frame for display is a very gratifying experience for me.
I like to use my digital camera. I have an Olympus SP-550UZ. The specs are: 7.1 megapixels, 18x optical zoom, 28mm lens, image stabilization and shoots at 15fps. It takes real nice closeups. I love taking pictures of insects and plants and enhancing them. It's a fun hobby that I spend many hours doing!
As far as drawing goes, I'm not that talented. I appreciate the artwork of David Lanier. It's a pretty incredible addition to the world of drawing and painting. My favorite work is the picture he drew of the staple puller. I related to it immediately because it is something I use in my work every day. I love that he described it as being "ferocious", but obviously don't agree with the term "useless".
I like my digital camera aswell. I love being able to see what I am taking pictures of and manipulating them. But I still love doing it the old fashion way. It helps remind me where we have come with photography.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Amy, I like the computer for the bigger screen, but I do admit I've been known to send directly from my phone photos I've cropped, edited for contrast, and occasionally added effects to; fun to be able to do that on the run.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I don't think staple pullers are useless at all. I spent so many hours pulling staples out of my mom's classroom boards and those things saved my fingernails. I love how he really made that drawing look ferocious, though. Almost like it's become some sort of insect. It's amazing how much detail and precision he got on an iPod Touch.
