Tree on Strasen Lane near Marine, Illinois
Photograph by Tom Atwood |
For me, this photograph symbolizes the difference between film and digital photography. I found this tree in the fog at dawn on Strasen Lane. As the sun came up, the light kept changing, and I kept taking pictures. I ended up with 161 photos of the tree. For 35 years, shooting film, I never took 161 photos of anything. But now, with a digital camera, I just keep shooting. Then when I get home I have to sort through dozens of pictures that will never see the light of day, unlike this tree. Shutter: 1/800; Aperture: f/8.0; ISO: 100; Focal length: 26 mm.
