This photography is an explanation of the social and cultural differences over time in the world of images. Gradually, the world of technology developed and then rapidly advanced through the 20th century into the 21st century. Specifically, the difference between analogue cameras and digital cameras. In this piece of work, it explores how the different types of cameras capture the essence of nature. 

 

Once photography turned digital, artists were able to capture many more photos than once before and were able to review their work right away. This is the case when shooting the nature photographs by Boulder Falls. It was easier to adjust the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed after quickly reviewing each photo taken. However, with the film roll, positioning had to be where the light would best hit the subject without thinking of the ISO, aperture, or shutter speed. 

 

One main focus for this project was color because nature produces the most natural product of that. Also, the way that digital and analogue cameras produce different shades of color was a focus point. 

 

Overall, the point was to capture how photography differs overtime with new inventions and how artists like to revisit old ways because new inventions are not necessarily better. Cultural and social change going into the 21st century are changing the way photographers think about the way they capture their photos.
