>>236473 Oh come on.
>ou don't want your images to look like every other shmuck's images.
Funny, I thought personal vision, composition, and creativity did that, not the gear you use, whether a $5000 Leica M8 with another few thousand 35 Summilux or with a Lomo.
>now that the barrier of entry to capturing a good image has been lowered from the days of film,
It is just as easy to get a good picture with a film Rebel as a digital one. Come on and stop jerking off the Velvia as its running through your local drugstore's C41 machine.
>it is more important than ever for the photographer to rely on a good eye, a solid knowledge of the fundamentals (as well as a solid knowledge of when to break rules), and a way to make one's images rise to the top in a massive sea of machine gunned stereotypical dslr images.
Ugh. Let me fix that for you:
>it is just as important now as it was for NiƩpce, Nadar, Weston, Cartier-Bresson, Karsh, or Winogrand, for the photographer to rely on a good eye, a solid knowledge of the fundamentals (as well as a solid knowledge of when to break rules), and a way to make one's images rise to the top in a massive sea of machine gunned stereotypical images.
Nothing has changed.
>another place buying something like a smena or a fed outweighs a dslr is in the ability to choose different films for different times of day, moods, and locales. some good ones to consider are a good color negative film, some expired slide film for cross processing, b/w infrared film (great for wilderness shots, and cant be done with a dslr), and b/w negative film in high and low isos.
Now this is just bullshit. I was wrong when I said nothing had changed- with digital, you can make it look however you want after the shot. Not just changing it for mood, time of day, or locale, but for every single shot. You can even run it entirely differently.
