Office Equipment

Whether a digital photographer likes it or not, the computer is an intergral part of his set up. It seems as much investment in money has to go on laptops, software and hardrives as it does in new digital camera kit, which means some heavy spending and a lot of learning.

Digtal Work Flow
|
This is the most important work flow to get right as it could result in a lot of wasted time, frustration and even loss of images. This is also where the biggest differences between film and digital are noticed, and can turn any advantage digital has into a nightmare. Before with film, we could put the roll in a bag for processing and move onto the next shots and at the end of the day go to the bar and relax while the film went for processing. With digital you can leave the images on the cards, but you would need a few cards, and you are only delaying the big jobs of transfer, cataloguing and backing up. If there was an error on the card it would be too late to reshoot. The advantages of digital is that there is no need to ever lose a shot as everything in is your control providing the work flow is slick.

Sorting, cataloguing, back up and delivery...
A digital photographer has to to use his computers and spend time at his desk. We have tried to minimize time spent in front of the screens as much as possible by streamlining the workflow on location as much as possible, and try to keep to tradition where the photographer concentrates on taking the pictures and does minimal retouching and reproduction work post shoot. We use a server for image storage and back up and primarily the internet for digital delivery to clients. |

Tim has been with Canon since the start of autocfocus. Not having shot film for several years, the move towards digital was withe first Canon digital SLR in October 2000 with the Canon EOS 30D. Moving up to the EOS 1D as soon as it was available, client work was shot digitally with stock work shot on the EOS 1Ds when that was released. Those bodies have since been upgraded to the Mark II versions. We have cupboards ful of old film bodies, flash heads, screens and scrims, a lot of which should really be on eBay. Too much kit to list so here is a list of the current camera bag contents... |
