| | | Literally because Random thoughts: Also, if everyone is using X to shoot Z, it can stop feeling creative anymore. Same as wanting to see a place that no one has seen yet instead instead of shooting the same concrete diving board surrounded by shit. Some people shoot film for more control, the way I shoot is for less control (and it slows me down). Different films and cameras can have different color results, character, oddities, grains, textures, etc, instead of just Lightrooming filtering everything and tagging it #vsco. I enjoy exploring other ways of doing things and seeing what works and doesn't for myself. Many people have other reasons. Mine is because I are spshl creative type. Also, check out the some real UE film pros and other experimenters here: http://www.uer.ca/...=1&threadid=128428

| | | Even in the age of digital, theres is a lot to learn as a photographer from shooting film. it rewards you for being selective. anyone with digital can "spray and pray" while capturing photos. I also find that film photos often don't need any post processing if you have the correct exposure. the creative freedom you get from film is pretty much limitless. there are so many ways to manipulate film with push/pull processing, there are large, medium and small formats. black and white, color negative, color positive, instant films etc. All without a computer. And if you have dark room access it's a blast to watch photos develop before your eyes, crop with an enlarger and create test prints and learn the chemistry. the only real drawbacks are accessibility, price, and time. which i understand will be deal breakers for many. man.. i'm really missing shooting film right about now..

| Simply go full manual and shoot RAW. Problem with digital is you need to be tech savvy to get optimum results. Not just shooting skills and the cam optics, but sensor as well cam processor limitations, then post processing and storage. It's a steep and evolving learning curve. Film is dead except for... holograms.

Not so much related to this part exactly... But Blackhawk, you pretty much always give the some of the worst photography advise I've seen on this forum...
| Specifics... or it never happened. *giggle* I'll go first on film fail. Reciprocity failure on low light level film shots. Digital especially pro cams have/can evolve from it's short comings in low light levels; film can not, it's reached it's zenith. https://en.m.wikip...eciprocity_failure That's why astrophotography is almost all digital. This was true over 10 years ago. Sensors, sensitivity, noise floor levels and noise reduction is far superior now then a mere decade ago. A middle line view from an expert: http://www.clarkvi...tal.summary1.html/

Do you even own a camera, man?
| A 20D, wanna fucking buy it dude? I'll even throw in some magic; age destroyed negatives from 60 years ago. That silly little graph is relative although even fine grain film slumps down around the ancient 5D's level. Never mind that because though because we love that grainy limit to the resolution. I'm glad I never invested much time in film. Other than digital, watercolors or oil be a more rewarding media at this point. If you truly strive to be an elite artist purist... unfortunately you need a lot more time and talent to paint than slam out a shot.
