Film: Hello or Goodbye?

[drg]

I have probably 4-5 times as much film gear as I do digital. And that's a lot! Never stopped using film but it has declined tremendously in quantity.

There's the $100 Film Project which is posted in the Film Photograph Forum which is my way of encouraging people to get out and use their film burners! Shoot a photo or two a day just to keep your skills.

There's a continuing belief that if you don't want to lose it, use it and how that applies to film.

The sad part is that there's really nothing you can't do with digital now quicker than with film.

Printing is another topic. The part I want to see continue is the printing process. Silver prints well made and displayed are just magical.

Interesting topic -
While I still have fond memories of my AE-1P, (which I still have), along with all the gear + albums of 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 B&W and colour pics. It was a lot of fun, in addition to being a learning experience, but I doubt that I will ever go back to film - the convenience and instant gratification of digital, combined with aquiring new skills and knowledge of DSLRs,
is quite sufficient for now ! :thumbsup:
