well /p/ I decided to get into film photography because I find more respect in what can be done with plastic and silver halide instead of mouse-click processing.

I bought a Canon AE-1 because I like SLRs, and I've currently have a DR XT. (inb4 nub camera lol)

So. My question to /p/. Do you agree that there's a finer art to film? why?

>I`m pretentious artfag who thinks using film will make me cool. Also I suck at PP and have no idea about working in darkroom.

Using film won`t make your stuff instart. Both require skills. At this point only slide (and thats Ektachromes, Velvia and Provia) and BW negatives are superior to digital. Colour negatives are on the same level as good digital sensor.

No. That's like saying there's a finer art to egg tempura over oil painting, or acoustic guitar over electric. They're different, but both require technical skill and craft to work.

There's lots of two-bit hacks messing around with enlargers and doing hamfisted overdone prints, same as there is two-bit hacks messing around with Photoshop and etc. etc. Same deal. There's always going to be the klutzes and the masters.

For an example of a digital master craftsman, take the case of Pascal Dangin, who's dubious at best in terms of his principles and character, but who knows the technical side of digital processing just as well as Adams knew the darkroom.

It doesn't have to be a shitstorm. It's a stupid question but that doesn't mean we can't build an intelligent conversation around it.

He talks a lot about film vs digital and many other things from an unbiased point of view.

Thanks dude,

No, not at all. I find people who do are usually pretentious pricks.

The only thing that matters is the end result, the techniques or medium you use to achieve that end result are irrelevant.

when it all comes down to it, if we end up in the same gallery with our photos hanging besides eachother, yours sucking and mine being generally neat, you can't just stand besides them and say "but.. but.. i shot film!"
