[rollei_list] Re: [OT] film vs digital

Interesting. I've seen a lot of people who do their own inkjet printing. They have not had a good sense of color and images often suck. They would be better served going somewhere to have them done. Then again, I watch these guys in the drugstores butcher prints, too.
A friend bought a I-phone and load photos onto it. There are a few photos I wouldn't mind doing that with, but I don't think I'd spend $600 to display a few photos. My friend, in turn, probably wouldn't want to spend the time in the darkroom to get one good image that I do. We live in different worlds. I just hope I can do film as long as I live. Co-existence is all right with me as long as I can buy film, paper and chemicals.

Here is another thought on digi vs film. With digi more people produce good images but less people produce great images. I think that this is a trend that has stretched back to the time of painting. When one had to be very skilled to produce a great image.Along comes the sillouete image, the physionatrace sorry can't recall the spelling and democratises the whole image process, more people can do it but the overall quality goes down. I think the same is true today, more people now have the means to produce decent images, but it generally ends there.

Comparing film to digital is like comparing the NY Philharmonic to a state of the art rock synthesizer.  One is cheaper, faster, and more convenient; the other is high art.
