Cameras have come a very long way since digital was introduced although my DSLR camera a Pentax K-r is a bit an antique as I bought it about seven years ago. To be perfectly honest the most theoretical desirable digital camera the DSLR which has rather a convoluted history connected to movie film around the time of WW2.
I guess the main snag with the DSLR is that the mobile phone companies have all tried to emulate the DSLR camera, this means that with photos viewed on a computer or phone most people would be hard pushed to tell whether a photo was taken using a DSLR or mobile phone.
With lower light levels then the larger lens of a DSLR can help to produce pictures which would be more difficult to take with a mobile phone. Mind you photographic technology is still moving forward especially when it comes to phone cameras.
Back in the 50s when these Ramsgate night shots were taken I think a lot of the colour was added afterwards
With these Margate ones which I think are earlier, although not dated I think the light was probably touched up
My old camera is a 12.4 megapixel camera, however a 12 megapixel picture is far too big for a computer screen so I set it on 2 megapixels and drifted around the harbour snapping away as it got darker. her are the links to the pictures.

As the shots are hand held the link 2 ones are showing a lot of camera shake.
The bookshop was busy today with the school holidays

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
