christoph_d Posted July 9, 2017 Share #35806 Posted July 9, 2017 ... Christoph - Basically, the Provia had more EV range and much less of a wet paint look. Given that we are looking at paint on a wall, why wouldn't everyone want a wet paint look, no matter what it looks like in person. ... Adam, Exactly my point. It's up to the interpretation of the photographer. What he/she wants to say. Rgds C. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoph_d Posted July 9, 2017 Share #35809 Posted July 9, 2017 Chris yours is a wonderful summation of the thinking process that has gone - and obviously continues to nag at you - into your choice of process for your photography. My thoughts are much along the same lines but I wouldn't be able to put it as eloquently as you have. At the end of the day, for me, I really like neither the look nor the process of digital photography. I tried it some years ago for 2 or 3 years and one day woke up to the fact that photography no longer held any interest whatsoever for me - not the doing, nor the enjoyment of the pictures, no matter how "good" they were. Because the process was too - you and others have put it best - taken out of my hands. The knowledge I'd built up over decades now counted for zip, and I didn't like that. Also I didn't like the smooth, artificial look of the pictures. At the time, I was able to sell my digital gear at a reasonable prices and buy Leica and Hasselblad film gear for crazy low (comparatively!) prices because it was the era of people "getting rid" of their film gear and switching to digital. I have never been happier with my photography since, and that is saying something as I have always been a "photography tragic". I've since parted ways with the Hasselblad but the Leicas will have to be prised from my cold dead hands. Note that I'd never wish anyone to regard my choices as a "put down" of their own choices and I hope the above won't be taken that way. Digital photography has enabled so many of my friends and acquaintances to pursue photography, whereas they might not have with film, and I have had incredible enjoyment photographing alongside them, the dinosaur with his quaint old-fashioned film cameras. I scan my pictures as I have not yet set up a darkroom again - like many here, this is a future project, on the back-burner for now. But the scans still reveal the grain and (most of) the nuance and, as Henry says, that delicate "softness" that pictures taken on film have, and it is a compromise I'm happy with for now. I'm not sure that any of this even matters. People must be free to make their own choices and each of us will prefer things that others may not, and who would have it any other way? We have abundant choice and that is a wondrous thing. It just seems that on an "I like film" thread it is valuable to read stories - the stories of journeys - such that Chris, Philip, Henry and others have embarked on to end up here. ... Thanks for putting my thoughts on "paper". I firmly believe thet you could get digital cameras with a HCB program soon enough. Just point the thing in front of you and as soon as the program determines that there's a worthwhile composition to be taken, it takes it. It is already possible with face and shape recognition, and with smart algorithms that memorise and then reproduce the patterns of whichever famous photographer you chose - so it may happen. But where is the fun with it? Perhaps the camera producers have realized what the supermarket producers of cake-in-a-cardboard box found out. When they included all ingredients (=fully automated) the caring mothers would not buy it. So now those mothers happily add some milk or egg, feel involved in the process and voila, a little bit of "insert brand name here" and a little bit of you, and everyone is happy... Anyway, I prefer mostly to cook and eat recognizable foodstuff, and when it comes to photography ... well film it is. Rgds C. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
