kenneth Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share #41 Posted February 3, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not because a few folks talk about making a darkroom that Ilford inc. and Kodak inc. will be saved or whatever. The truth is, digital took over a long time ago and is taking over more and more each day. Film is still there but the truth is, will your kind shoot film or shoot digital or a cyber photography form in the future? Answer this and understand the truth. I guess a certain amount of arrogance can be expected when someone feels threatened. This thread was not meant to do down digital photography it was mainly a question. So by all means enjoy your technology of choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenneth Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share #42 Posted February 3, 2009 50 years ago the big question was, is photography art. Now we grapple with, is digital photography or photo manipulation art. I think it is all in the eye of the beholder. Art is a means of communication, whatever the medium, that makes us contemplate the world in a different way. But what does this have to do with the original question? Surely if you wish to debate the topics you mention it is the new thread button you want to press and then we can all weigh in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magd0328 Posted February 3, 2009 Share #44 Posted February 3, 2009 I'm now relucantly moving away from film. I shot a big project last year in Beijing with my M6 and I am *still* editing and re-touching the photos. The spotting, colour correction, constant re-scanning (due normally to negative flatness problems) and so on are driving me insane. Could just be that my workflow is poor, but even with improvements in that area I am not going to get down to a good turn-around time. Am moving to digital, but one thing about that also drives me insane: blown highlights. Seems to happen so easily, despite all the claims of the enormous dynamic range of modern digital cameras.
