p.1 #1 · The future of Photography - What are your thoughts?
I'm sure a lot of us have seen the fStoppers video of Peter Hurley comparing the Red Epic to the Hassleblad H3D-22, thus sparking the "will video overtake, or envelope, still photography" debate. Is motion our future as creatives? I think many, if not most of us worship in the house of the still, but video has been in our cameras for years now.
Personally, I never see myself using video to ever create something, let alone filming someone and then picking out the PERFECT still image (as alluded to in the aforementioned fStoppers video). It just doesn't make sense because photography as an art form has its own rules, techniques, styles, etc that are centuries old, some of which do translate perfectly to video. Yes technology will grow and get better, but it's something I'm curious about. We are all, to varying extents, invested in our current dSLR set ups, either Nikon, Canon or Sony, etc etc.
Is this, as well as the m4/3 overtaking DSLRs debate, something to lose sleep over or should we all just roll with what comes down the pike and adjust ourselves to fit?
