Hear Hear for film say I , Moggy who shoots jewellery, still life, interiors, and landscapes. I shot a job recently of Arabian traditional dress, forty odd shots on 5x4, I used the fantastic Kodak E100vs film , the colour rendition, the detail, subtlety and quality, not to mention the depth alone I don't believe I could get on digital, let alone how easy it is to shoot film. i know exactly what I'll get - and no retouching!.
Dear Moggy
I have much sympathy for your feelings on this subject as you might guess, but I think it's a mistake to think that you cannot better the result you are getting from supplying film that without a doubt looks great on the light box. I wonder if you have considered how you might benefit from using some of the tools that are available from the digital tool chest, perhaps in conjunction with still shooting film.
I know loads of you will disagree, but you haven't seen the trannies, true, I haven't seen the dig version, but I will be one of the last people shooting on film I reckon, I still don't think digital matches up.
Shooting digitally to match or surpass what you are at present producing would indeed be a very different way of working. It's a steep and continuing learning and spending curve if you are not already involved in any of the digital imaging processes at present. Nothing wrong in that of course......just reminding anyone here who needs it!
