tfttf468 - Analog Photography - Tech Guy

Monday, June 28th, 2010

techguy_tfttf_logo2.jpgChris Marquardt joins us to talk about old school, analog photography. When did you shoot your last roll of film? The great impact of digital photography is that you take a lot more images and you have greater control of managing the image (called the digital darkroom). And because you’re taking more images and you get an instant preview, you end up getting better.
