   What is the best part of the photography process for you?
   
   Why do you take photos?  Is it all about the end result or is there more to the process that?  Also does this differ for analogue or digital photography?

   The best part is the composition and capturing that magical moment when you know you have an especially good picture.
   
   I prefer film but for general purposes digital does but it can pixelate unless you have an exceptionally good camera and even then that can happen especially when enlarging.
   
   You need good film and exceptional lens and a great eye and knowledge of just what makes a good photograph

   I enjoy the creation of the picture. I like searching for a subject, walking around and exploring to find something special to photograph. I also like trying different shots of the same subject, changing the composition and angles. I agree with katyzzz also, it is capturing the moment when you know you have a really great picture. I prefer digital. I like being able to see what I have shot right away. I enjoy capturing that special picture to save the beauty of it and share it with others.

   The search is definitely one of the best parts for me and its interesting as I really like not knowing how the shot came out until I pull it out of the developing tank.  Lots of the magic for me comes from waiting for the last of the chemicals to be washed off and that first moment when you finally see the negs.  I've got to agree with katyzzz that knowledge plays an important role in getting the image that you want.
