I can't answer for Bill, but I can say with certainty that digital has
improved the quality of my work. It has certainly boosted my
photographic income. The car magazines I shoot for are thrilled with
the accuracy that I can achieve in replicating the original color of
the sheetmetal. The stock house I work with has mentioned that my
number of "keepers" has inrcreased dramatically in the past year.
Digital does present an opportunity to shoot a lot of junk, but it also
enables one to work faster and better.
BTW, I enjoyed Bill's vacation pics. I don't think he intended that
trip to be a photo safari. He just snapped some casual pics along the
way. I found the quality at least the equal to similar things he has
shown in the past.

How many are worth showing? How many are you proud of? What's the

To be candid, Bill, the quality of your vacation pics this year -
certainly
wrt subject matter - is, imo, definitely a few notches below what
you've
done previously. Do you think shooting all those free pix with a digi
cam
may have something to do with it? Or, conversely, does using a larger
format film camera contribute to producing better results.
I'm really curious to know if you think digi use has affected the
quality
of your work?
