Drewent ARTISTS colour pencils digital photograph by Ted Szukalski

Recently I had a brief discussion with a friend of mine, who has a strong conviction that photography should ALWAYS reflect what he sees. This in particular applies, in his opinion, to the fidelity of colours, tones and light intensity. He is deferring the move to to digital camera as he does not feel they offer that ability to capture what he sees.

Well Chris, I am not going to shoot a colour chart, as I find the colours in these charts rarely relate to anything I can recognise. However, I have at home Drewent ARTISTS colour pencil set, which is probably one of the most recognised and popular sets used anywhere int he western world. The colours here, as I see them are very, very close to the original colours on the pencils and yet this photo was not taken in a controlled environment. I did not use temperature stable light, gray card or any other “gizmo” aiding the exposure. In fact the white balance here was left in Automatic mode too.

Perhaps some people are a lot more sensitive to colour variations than I am but to me the result is more then satisfactory.
