Classical or PJ style? - 12-17-2007, 06:51 AM


Are you more of a classical photographer, i.e. compose, one shot like you had a view camera or do you shoot PJ style using multiple exposures for the same subject in one push of the shutter? Or a combination of both?

I find I tend to look at my D2X as an extension of my 4x5 and try and get one good shot per push of the shutter. Part of that is "upstairs" I like to think: "Ok, you have one sheet of film left, don't waste it!"

So Classical, PJ, or combination?

Combination, depends on the subject and the setting.

Yeah, as other have stated, it really depends.

If I have the chance to pre-think every shot, I do. But for instance, when shooting a concert. A lot of times I have to just get what they give me, and when I can.

I do try and plan out a few cool shots that I will spend a great deal of time trying to capture, but I don't want to do that at the expense of missing the moment.
