These are all valid challenges and arguments the modern photographer has to live with today. Its well worth doing additional reading when doing digital photography. Again when starting with photography, my advice is to ignore all these popular forum and magazine created problems until you more comfortable using your camera. For example people are spending a lot of time to discuss the dynamic range of different cameras. Typically SLR cameras differ between 8,7 and 11,3 stops in terms of dynamic range. The human eye can cope with as much as 16 stops and a really bright summer day can go as high as 20 stops. That means each and every camera has a limitation and in relation to a real life situation, the differences between cameras are small. Therefor if I read somebody complaining about a camera not having a good dynamic range and that he or she looses images base on dynamic range then all it tells me, this person are on the wrong track and the chances are he or she will never learn the correct techniques to optimize dynamic range. Its like with all things in life, if you focus on the negative then you miss the opportunity to see the situation in the correct perspective.I also made a video for a preview of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q24y1xL2_bY">Canon g13 camera</a>, please take a look and let me know what you think. Taking silhouette photos is an intermediate photography skill. The technique is a little tricky, and it will take some trial and error on your first few attempts before you become proficient. Any subject can be rendered as a silhouette provided we are using back lighting. It need not be a person. A silhouette of a tree, or a child?s bike, or any strategically chosen object can add interest to a scene. But, the real work of making a great photo actually comes in post processing. Creating images from the shooting perspective only is a bit tunnel-visioned. Once you free yourself from the metaphorical shackles of preserving some idea of ?reality?, then you will open your mind to the creative possibilities of processing your photos. Not only that, but you will understand that you are the one in control of how real the photo looks, or how unreal. Your confidence will grow, and that will be reflected in your future work.
