Testing the level of degradation of your camera's imaging sensor

Compare the quality of photos that you would take at 1/150 shutter speed and then switch to sports mode and click the same images with higher shutter speeds.  You may notice that there is a degradation in the clarity or quality of images as you go higher up.

Take a long exposure shot at night and compare that with your normal photos, if you feel that the longer exposure looks richer than you average daylight photos then you could ascertain the level in the loss of image quality of the sensor over time by reviewing the detail captured in longer exposure vs short exposure. You would be able notice some quality changes when compared with some shots you took from the early days when you initially purchased the camera to compare them.

Since this is an area of concern that has been shared by one more person verbally than my own observations, and too early to actually compare results or identify the degree of problem of various camera models, I would advise caution and fair judgement.

In Pursuit of Light

Photography is an art-form that is best described as painting with light, but more than that it has everything to do with composition and presentation or as some call as subject.  It is a game of fate, opportunity & chance. Fate is where the journey takes you, opportunity is what you have access to and chance is being in the right place at the right time.  It is where you truly embrace nature, and can be even a spiritual experience for some as we try to bring out the best in things around us and inspire others or convey some message through our efforts. 

Even a partial photo can bring a flood of memories to relive a moment we may have long forgotten, and helps us to connect with our past and instill a sense of purpose in what we pursue.  Photography is an acquired taste, the prize won by enduring much hardships and disciplined by our failures and propelled solely due to our innate desire to excel against all odds. Photography is a more than a book of lessons learned and the level of our expertise is based on continuously learning and experimenting and trying new things. 

One of the benefits of technology is that everyone gets to pursue photography at some level, this unconsciously adds loads of experience till the time we decides to pursue it more seriously either professionally or as pro hobbyist. One of the benefits is that by having taken hundreds of photos we gain some level of understanding of equipment and their capabilities, some basic composition requirements and how lighting effects everything around us.
