So what's your photog method?

So here's a question for 'ya....what's your photography method?

I guess you could add to that, do you have one, do you wing it, are you a film or digital devotee?

Re: So what's your photog method?

I use my cell phone now (and it shows). It's the best camera we have. I've had my best results with natural light.

Re: So what's your photog method?

I have a Samsung S630 I got recently for $129.00. It isn't great without daylight but it's all I can justify at the moment.

I would like to find a stand I can put a light on to help a bit at some stage.

Re: So what's your photog method?

I use a Nikon 4600 4.0 megapixel digital with as you have seen, mixed results. I found an old suntanning "Heat lamp" in the closet and I used that for the lighting on the final blitz pics -



I used my old desk lamp with a 120 watt bulb in it to achieve this "Dusk" type shot -



These shots were taken in natural light, which I prefer - though it's not always available when I'm ready to shoot!
