Guest Posted December 3, 2016 Share #24523 Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) I thought that I would elaborate on the concept I wrote about above — of two intersecting circles of film and digital rendering characteristics: the area of overlap (i.e., common properties between the two), in my mind, is very large — and on either side is a small crescent: in the crescent on the left are the properties unique to film and on the crescent on the right the properties unique to digital. So, for me, the unique properties of film are a very narrow crescent, represented by the dark landscape that I posted (and by the film street portrait, also dark). Because I am right now interested by that dark vision, it seems worthwhile to shoot film. The downside, for me, is that often, when I shoot a highly detailed shot with film, I get something that would have been better done with, say, my M-Monochrom. I should add that I'm not up to shooting both film a digital — I'd rather go with "binges" of, say, 6-12 months of each The following three shots are, to me examples, of film shots, with a high level of detail, that would work better with my M-Monochrom. Any thoughts? The three shots were taken at Dan Sing Khon, a Thai border town at the Singkhon Pass (Maw Daung in Burmese), across the Tenasserim Hills on the border between Thailand and Burma. The pass is close to the narrowest point of Thailand in Prachuab Kiri Khan Province. It has a brace of little shops selling jewelry, souvenirs and orchids from the adjacent Burmese forest, illegal in Thailand. The third shot, of the bicycles: Not sure why these rusted old bikes are on sale. Who would buy them? But it was so hot and humid that I didn't have the energy to ask.

However I had just taken a picture against the sun and had forgotten to set the exposure for the more subdued light in the alley when the boy suddenly came running along. I was temporarily desperate when I noticed seconds later, the picture is about 5stops underexposed ... , however I still like the result Rgds C. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted December 3, 2016 Share #24539 Posted December 3, 2016 My answer is that I think they work perfectly well on film as they are. I'm never interested in discussing film vs digital, and esp not in this thread, but would only say that if you want to resolve maximum amount of detail then Tri-X is not the best choice; TMax 400 would probably have been better. In any event, so many things affect the result on film, an important one being the developer used. Add to that that a hybrid workflow introduces further aspects to consider, such as the scanner and software used, the operator's skill at using them and how the scan was post-processed. br Philip The following three shots are, to me examples, of film shots, with a high level of detail, that would work better with my M-Monochrom.
