Whats a mommy cam?
I'll keep quiet on this. I'm no expert. I'm just going by what I've our daughter say which I'm sure I've misunderstood
Snapshots without taking advantage of the features of a nice camera, according to our daughter. She's always fussing at cnestg8r about this.
I get it, but if your really think more about this statement, one of the features of the nice camera is that it has auto, which can produce some quality shots for anyone. Auto feature is quick, so that you get the shot, without having to set aperture. Ask your daughter if she uses auto focus. 8)
She doesn't. Somewhat of a camera snob, and she flaunts the fact that she is a super genius (but she is). She got a 7D, didn't like it, and bought a 5D. So the 7D is her backup camera. Good idea because if you shoot mostly weddings, you can't risk any equipment failures. Re-do's are impossible, so there needs to be some redundancy.
I logged so many darkroom hours that I nearly went bankrupt. Digital is a different animal but as I'm playing with it, I'm learning that it is very much like darkroom with a lot more ways to adjust things.! I love how instantaneous the results are, sort of, but I miss the happy accidents and a good ole burn and dodge! I'm shooting raw and jpeg. I'll use the manual or semi auto setting but I like to throw some auto in there just to see what the camera "thinks " about the shot. Now I need a Mac and 50" monitor for "developing". Big thing is getting some prints done. I have friends asking for matted and framed prints.
you-know-who
Surprising to me, having no knowledge in this area, is that black-and-white photos which are so in vogue are so hard to get printed. Of course, I'm sure our daughter will disagree.
Good for you! I am just thankful to have being exposed to art that requires a knowledge of technology! I have a minor in art history from Tulane. How can one not get interested in that while living in New Orleans?

Dodge and burn are in photoshop and you can still have "accidents." You now just have control/command Z to get you out of them if necessary.
I just got CS5.5. Not many differences but still there are differences. Owed it to my students to give them the latest version, as advised by our daughter. She's right.
I'm dodging a burning but it is different. I do take my computer into the closet and turn off all the lights, lay the monitor flat on the table.

My question about raw/jpeg was more of a "do you shoot raw exclusively or shoot jpeg some and then switch" question. I use jpeg for football games and for setting shots or playing with ideas and, of course, any snapshot type pics. I use raw when I am serious.
