Notes to Self. Catching Up with Time


  Bing and subsequent editing.


The other day the expression “keep up with the times” came to my mind and I wondered if this is possible. Time has become so dynamic, there are so many new trends and technologies that you simply cannot keep up with them.

I'm running, chasing time, trying not to stress, but I'm not doing so well. Time is very fast and it’s no secret to anyone.

It’s probably impossible to keep up with time, but like that stubborn goat I’m trying, although I understand that I’m just treading water.

The saddest thing is that much of what is faithful and loved disappears. My reliable and faithfully serving Nikon D750 camera has ended its existence, it was discontinued. This is the fate of all DSRL cameras and lenses for them.

DSRL cameras have replaced mirrorless cameras, which are the future. 

Once upon a time something similar happened with cameras that used film.

Now film photography is back. Isn't it strange? Old film cameras created a unique and amazing mood, an atmosphere that no digital camera, be it DSRL or mirrorless, simply could do.

I wonder how people reacted to the fact that film photography gave way to digital photography? Did they breathe a sigh of relief because they could click the shutter as much as they wanted without worrying about the cost of the film? Or were they  upset?

Well, on this note I will end and again trudge after time...

Generally, life is good.

  1. I used to be a diehard fan for film photography. After a successful transition to digital photography, I kind of resent it so much now. Our society loves to recycle stuff every few decades

  2. Personally, I find that digital photography offers a domesticated world where it's good to venture without having to spend a fortune. The bright results on a decent screen suit me fine!

  3. Llevas razón, hay que poner al día con el tiempo. Pero la belleza es belleza, sea analógica o digital como lo demuestra tu excelente B/N. Pasa igual con el B/N. Se impuso el color, pero sigue habiendo fotografías en B/N que su belleza no es ni siquiera igualada por el color.
    Un abrazo.

  4. Film cameras are a thing of the past. A spell that sometimes runs through people's traps. But they can no longer perform.
    I hope you find time to find a mirrorless, full-frame, with which the Nikon lens can be used.
