Go for an SLR

Advantages: SLR's are cheaper! Development is cool!
Disadvantages: Digital is convenient! Plus colour is easier!

If your considering buying a camera, and you have a similar mindset to me, you could never go digital. To put things in perspective, I have just finished a photography GCSE course and got a B. I have just started A-level, and have aspirations to go to university and do a BA in photography. I really don't care much about cameras, but I can recognise the fact that a camera does help a photographer improve. The debate shouldn't be Digital vs. SLR - it should be 35mm vs. Medium Format! Limiting yourself to an SLR is pretty constricting when you consider the options. Digital is out of the question for anyone who wants to do anything creative with their photography - you lose access to the darkroom (unless you print transparencies on your printer), which is the best way to have fun with photography. Photoshop is a good way of getting ...

Review of Digital Vs SLR

SLR rules

Advantages: cheaper than digital
Disadvantages: You need to actually think about the shots you take

For the serious photographer there are two options when buying a camera. Either a state of the art digital machine, or the slightly outdated but considerably cheaper (cameras which use a system of mirrors to let the user see directly through the lens). If money weren?t an object, many people would choose a digital camera, however many of us don?t want to go out and blow a large amount of money on a digital camera. There may be a feeling when buying a digital camera that you are ?settling for less.? This is by no means the case, and I aim to show you a few techniques that will enable you to take superb pictures with an SLR camera. Personally, I use a Practika SLR from the mid eighties. In fact, I am only slightly older than the camera. Using this camera I have taken (if I do say so myself) excellent shots in Glasgow, mainly thanks to ...

Review of Digital Vs SLR

SELLING SALES

Advantages: Easy to read, good scenarios behind each piece of advice
Disadvantages: Not something that can be read cover to cover

Selling To Win by Richard Denny When I tell people that I work in a bank, the natural image that springs to the mind of most is a local HSBC: Customers patiently queuing in line, an array of cashiers willing to serve, and general banking activities taking place all around. When I describe my place of work as an office, with no cash on the premises and without a current account facility, it?s easy to understand why people see me as a salesman rather than a bank employee. My business cards acknowledge me as a Customer Account Manager. It sounds posh, but in real terms, I am a salesman, and it?s my job to sell loans. When I first joined the company, a little under a year ago, there was a copy of a book called ?Selling to win? hanging around the office. A quick flick through showed it did what it said, and that it was a sales ...
