O.k this is a rant about my difficulties in going from film to digital ! I recently brought a Sony A6000 to hopefully stop spending so much money on film/developing and to improve on the results from my old battered Digital Kodak point and shoot .Yesterday I went to the National trusts Baddersley Clinton. As I was there on a Ghost walk (Mrs Badger arranged it) I just took my old Kodak point and press as it fits in my pocket nicely.I took a number of shots in near darkness but was pleasantly surprised by the results , As the property is so interesting thought to myself I'll visit again tomorrow with my Sony A6000 expecting much better results as the light would be much better and of course the camera is superior, I was wrong ! I can honestly say I was really disappointed with the results I really don't seem to be able to get to grips with this camera.
I've come from Manual Film cameras where I seemed to have more good results than bad to the Sony where I seem to have more bad than good results. Now I realize that the Sony is a relatively good camera and it is most likely my use of it that is the problem but I'm getting to the point where I don't want to take it out and wishing I had never brought it. Has anyone else found the swap from film to Digital difficult.
From the 9mp 11 year old Kodak point and shoot. Very low light( the photo makes it seem far better than it was) at the end of a very rainy ,day with relativity high contrast between the white sky and the building, hand held . Very impressive considering the light .
From the Sony with very good light Blue skies rather than white. In my mind no better quality than the Kodak it really seems to have problems with any level of contrast.
