DENVER, CO, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Among the many questions you need to ask prospective wedding photographers is whether they shoot weddings digitally or with traditional film. There are pros and cons for each type of photographic medium.
Denver wedding photography expert Matt Kelly of Ambisuite Weddings said, "When choosing between digital and film, ask yourself what you want your wedding photographs to capture. Then look at the digital and film photography each photographer has taken. You should be able to make your decision then."
Wedding Photographs: digital vs. film resolution
Certainly you will be concerned with the clarity and quality of the final wedding pictures, aka as "resolution".
Resolution of digital photographs is based upon a computer measurement known as pixels - usually the more the merrier. Pixel stands for "PICture Element". A pixel is a tiny bit of data containing information about a tiny bit of color.
Resolution in film images is dependent upon the size of the film being used to record an image, which is measured in millimeters or inches (35 mm, medium or large format).
In addition, resolution of both types is based on the quality of the camera, the lenses used, and the film speed (or digital equivalent).
Experts agree that for now both options for wedding photography give similar results.
The pros of film
Areas where experts say film is superior to digital are:
- Film has better dynamic range - this means that when a wedding photographer is shooting a bride and groom for example, the contrast between the bright white dress and a black tux will not be a problem. The white won't overtake the photograph with loss of detail to the black.
- Film is better for long exposures.
- The grain of film is more pleasing to some people.
- Photographers have more control over their shots. Some visual effects, like intentional double-exposures are only possible using film.
- Some photographers say film is best for quality black and white photographs.
The pros of digital
There are numerous advantages to using digital film for a wedding photographer.
- It is less costly since there is no film to purchase.
- When creating the prints, there is no dust to worry about on negatives.
- It is not necessary to send anything to a photo lab for development.
- A photographer can take as many photographs as (s)he wants and doesn't have to worry about the wedding photography budget.
- The results are immediate. A photographer can play around with exposures, lighting, etc. and make sure the results come out well.
- Color pictures can be turned into black and white or sepia-toned photos.
Wedding photography expert Matt Kelly said, "In the end, it may not really matter whether the wedding photographer you hire uses digital or film. If he is an experienced, professional photographer in either or both mediums, you should not have any concerns."
The final litmus test is this. If you like the feeling, the look, and the competence of a particular photographer's work, that is the one you should use whether (s)he uses digital or film. A more important distinction you should certainly look out for is that of style: photojournalism vs. traditional photography. While the experts may be the only ones able to really notice the differences between film and digital, this distinction photography style will be readily noticed in any completed wedding album.

Are your values right or left? The answer is more literal than you think
2011-04-14
Up equals good, happy, optimistic; down the opposite. Right is honest and trustworthy. Left, not so much. That's what language and culture tell us. "We use mental metaphors to structure our thinking about abstract things," says psychologist Daniel Casasanto, "One of those metaphors is space."
But we don't all think right is right, Casasanto has found. Rather, "people associate goodness with the side they can act more fluently on." Right-handed people prefer the product, job applicant, or extraterrestrial positioned to their right. Lefties march to a left-handed drummer. ...
UCSF study links inflammation in brain to some memory decline
2011-04-14
High levels of a protein associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation in the brain correlate with aspects of memory decline in otherwise cognitively normal older adults, according to a study led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco.
The study is being reported in a poster session at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting on Wednesday, April 13, 2011.
Inflammation is part of the body's natural immune response to tissue damage. However, chronic inflammation is associated with many diseases. In the brain, it is thought to play a role ...

Two kinds of Webb telescope mirrors arrive at NASA Goddard
2011-04-14
It takes two unique types of mirrors working together to see farther back in time and space than ever before, and engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have just received one of each type. Primary and Secondary Mirror Engineering Design Units (EDUs) have recently arrived at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in Redondo Beach, Calif. and are undergoing examination and testing. When used on the James Webb Space Telescope those two types of mirrors will allow scientists to make those observations.

Making temporary changes to brain could speed up learning, study reports
2011-04-14
In a breakthrough that may aid treatment of learning impairments, strokes, tinnitus and chronic pain, UT Dallas researchers have found that brain nerve stimulation accelerates learning in laboratory tests.
Another major finding of the study, published in the April 14 issue of Neuron, involves the positive changes detected after stimulation and learning were complete. Researchers monitoring brain activity in rats found that brain responses eventually returned to their pre-stimulation state, but the animals could still perform the learned task. These findings have allowed ...
Toronto XVIV0 Lung Perfusion System allows high-risk lungs to be safely transplanted

Invasive mussels causing massive ecological changes in Great Lakes
2011-04-14
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---The ongoing spread of non-native mussels in the Great Lakes has caused "massive, ecosystem-wide changes" throughout lakes Michigan and Huron, two of the planet's largest freshwater lakes, according to a new University of Michigan-led study.
The blitzkrieg advance of two closely related species of mussels---the zebra and quagga---is stripping the lakes of their life-supporting algae, resulting in a remarkable ecological transformation and threatening the multibillion-dollar U.S. commercial and recreational Great Lakes fisheries.
Previous studies have ...
Anti-aging hormone Klotho inhibits renal fibrosis, cancer growth
2011-04-14
DALLAS – April 14, 2011 – A natural hormone known to inhibit aging can also protect kidneys against renal fibrosis, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have demonstrated.
Scientists led by Dr. Makoto Kuro-o, associate professor of pathology, showed in mice that the anti-aging hormone Klotho suppressed both renal fibrosis – a common complication of chronic kidney disease – and the spread of cancer. The findings are available online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
More than 26 million people in the U.S. are affected by chronic kidney disease. Researchers ...
