| | For a long time I have only used analogue technology because digital cameras did not supply the desired quality for wide angles and had problems with distortion. The reason for this could be found in the low resolution of the CCD sensor compared to the classic negative. As soon as the digital sensors reached the quality of common analogue cameras it became possible to use the old focal lenghths in the usual ways. Especially wide-angle lenses, which are commonly used in architectural photography, benefitted from this technological progress. Today the use of digital photography has established itself for architectural purposes, and I use it predominantly. For special purposes I can also offer an analogue large-format camera which exposes negatives of 6 x 9 cm size. While the digital equipment allows resolutions of 4992 x 3326 pixels, high-resolution scans of the analogue material reach resolutions of up to 7900 x 5300 pixels. Even with the lower digital resolution it is possible to generate DIN A3 sized prints with 350 dpi, the common standard used for book printing. However, the analogue large-format camera finds its everyday use due to its various colour shifting possibilities in addition to the higher resolution. The photographic equipment is completed with a professional flash unit which allows a perfect illumination of all kinds of rooms. | |
