Chris Anderson at the Long Tail weblog on how switching from film to digital media changes movie acting and directing:
“I think shooting in digital changes acting as much as film changed stage acting, or as sound changed film,” said Bill.
Why? Because film costs a lot and must be used sparingly, while digital tape is practically free. The difference between the scarcity economics of film and the abundance economics of digital is, as Bill put it, “the difference between pointing a loaded gun at someone and a toy gun. You point a loaded gun at them and they’re going to act different. A film camera is a loaded gun. Digital is not.”
The principle is the same for real estate photography: If you’re not paying for a photographer’s time, nor even for film and processing, you have no reason not to take a lot of photos and simply toss the ones that don’t work out.
Man! That Long Tail is everywhere!

Amazing. I wish they’d get the game designers involved, as well.

Hi Jim I’ve checked the lab lives site, it was really a great site too. Greg above all the things you have mention above here is the one I strongly agree ” The principle is the same for real estate photography: If you’re not paying for a photographer’s time, nor even for film and processing, you have no reason not to take a lot of photos and simply toss the ones that don’t work out.” 🙂
