Bill Skinner – “Old & New – What’s Best for You”
May 2023
Bill Skinner, the General Manager of the PROCAM Photo & Video store in Aurora, IL., discussed current trends, technology and tips on photographic equipment and software, focusing on “Old & New – What’s Best for You.”
The photographic world is full of surprises. Film has had a resurgence in popularity. It attracts users who look back fondly at the good old days as well as the youth of today enjoying a “new” medium to capture their art and memories. DSLR sales have both dropped as newer technology has arrived and increased in the used category with readily available inexpensive and durable cameras.
Mirrorless cameras have advanced photography to new heights as technology has allowed the removal of the mirror chamber and added features that were never thought possible. Digitally process your images taken with film or a memory card so they can be as simple and accurate as originally seen or as playful and fanciful as you like. Just as you think you have completed the process you find there are so many ways to share your vision.
Below are some slides with advice from his presentation. Thanks Bill!
