edwardkaraa Posted January 16, 2018 Share #45821 Posted January 16, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) A very high percentage of my 'best' images are also shot on film, often not Leica! Am I allowed to say that here? Answer to Phil (stray cat) above. My crit was only of the article linked by jockem. Nothing he said. The article was IMO posing to make an analogy between film and digital, using other non related objects. I couldn't see the point, but I do see way too many attempts at such comparisons. Pointless. Again, IMO. I agree about the pointless comparisons. They’re two different mediums, like aquarelles and oil colors. Which one is better? Apples and oranges. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share #45822 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Those are some apt analogies. My favorite is the comparison of natural breasts vs augmented breasts - e.g., Sophia Loren vs Pamela Anderson - which do you prefer. And yes, many say yes and those are most likely to shoot both film and digital I shoot only film.... Sophia_Loren_-_1955.JPG pamela-anderson-before-after-1.jpg I shoot only film too! LOL Me too Edward and Adam after 8 years of digital M , not satisfying by false color , not faithful Only film gives at the moment the true color Just look at the file of one picture > film Tiff =110 Mo and DNG M =10 Mo . Where are color and details in digital ? In addition , as I said above 25% light (who make color) touch Red and Blue pixels , 50% light Green px Why this lack of light ? Film 100% light http://v1.zonezero.com/magazine/news/sensor.html finaly image has a SOUL .... in film in the Artistic sense of the term You said FLAT image ? where ALL is sharp made by "stupid" software of the camera in "smoothing" squarre pixels ? ... but you are free to do what you like A very high percentage of my 'best' images are also shot on film, often not Leica!

You are right Erl and your sons and grandchildren will say you thank you in 40 years The "programmed obsolescence" of your digital camera is launched duration 3 years not the case with your MP analog Best to All H.

Popular Post stray cat Posted January 16, 2018 Popular Post Share #45824 Posted January 16, 2018 I wasn't sure myself what I was photographing one day during Mary Ellen Mark's workshop in Oaxaca in 2011, so I looked up National Geographic who described it as: "a pre-Lent festival in San Martin Tilcajete near Oaxaca city, Mexico. Dozens of young men and boys run through the town covered in silver or red paint, and motor oil, chasing the townsfolk in this annual tradition before the coming Easter holiday. Many of the greasy devils wear heavy cowbells around their waists which ring loudly as they run, in penance for the sins they have committed as devils. The more bells they wear, the greater number of sins. The bells also act to warn the townsfolk. But the chase of the devils is a merry one. And children especially love being chased." Brave children if you ask me - some of these guys were plenty scary! Anyway it was a lot of fun and an absolute dream for a photographer lucky enough to be there: Greasy Devil, St Martin Tilcajete, Mexico 2011 M6TTL, 28mm Elmarit, Ilford XP2 Super 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted January 16, 2018 Share #45830 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Sometimes, when these conversations, film vs. digital, get going I find myself rolling right through some beautiful photographs in order to get to the next comment in the debate. A sad commentary on me..........maybe........humanity. It is good to have "I Love Film" to jerk myself back into line. Nice photo of "devil," Phil.

jochem Posted January 16, 2018 Share #45835 Posted January 16, 2018 This photograph was taken with a Leica M2 on TriX400 film and with a 35mm Summilux pre-asph lens wide open at f1.4 and 1/30 of a second hand held.I went to the Michelangelo exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.Lighting was a challenge, the gallery was quite dark with lights only on the objects on display. The biggest frustration is to focus the lens on the viewers face quickly and accurately enough before they move away. Most hold their attention only for a few seconds before they move on.
