Whats OMG about this???0 -
Whilst I agree wholeheartedly about the cowboys, I just don't get the above sentiment. I shoot film at lot, but when I'm shooting digital for personal stuff I take just as few shots. Having a DSLR doesn't mean you're automatically going to go into machine gun mode.
Or is it that you mean if you shoot film you're probably a better class of photographer?
No not better class at all.I just prefer film that's my opinion.
Its hard to explain without sounding like a complete dick but as photography gets easier and more people get into it. The quality level is dropping and becoming less original. More and more bog standard photos are appearing on here and other forums I go on. Everyone can take a photo of a sunset but now we have photoshop and lightroom to make it actually good.
I sound like a complete arse saying that because a lot of these people would only be starting into photography so obviously its not going to be great.
I think it all depends on what kind of style you develop into.. The first maybe 2 years I got into photography I was taking pictures of sunsets and flowers all the time :eek: Now I try my best take photos of stuff no one else has before. Im trying to capture something significant.
Again I dunno all this stuff makes sense in my head

It is impossible to not come across as a dick if you are saying "one medium is inherently better than the other, period." Quality hasn't changed. Photographers were bitching about the dearth of quality on mailing lists twenty years ago; in photography clubs thirty years ago; in magazines forty years ago. In another forty years they'll be bitching about that newfangled technology that is displacing digital and film. No matter how far back you go, you will find photographers bitching about the impending death of the art and how kids these days are tramping all over their proverbial lawns.
No medium should ever be looked at as anything but a means to an end, or as a list of advantages and disadvantages. Holding either one up as a sacred cow is foolish and bigoted.0 -

For me, this type of image is an OMG!
And it's in Ireland.
I had some similar lake reflection shots and sumbitted them for C&C in our college photo soc... the American society auditor wouldn't believe that they were in Ireland..... then continued with plans for a photo trip to either Brussels or Venice! :mad:0 -

Good thing I don't think that so. I prefer film but I don't think its superior its all down to the photographer.how long ago was that and was it with a digital camera? Would you even have bothered with photography yourself if you had to learn on film?
Iv'e been taking photos for about 5ish years 5 this year I think. Ive been using film only a year. The last year funnily enough iv'e started to develop on a certain style.
If I had of started on film? I don't know.. I probably would have for this simple reason! I got into photography because of skateboarding and reading skate magazines. Iv'e never been very good at but ill be doing it ten years next year. I just enjoyed for what it was and thought taking photos would be the same feeling. At the time when I bought my 1st camera I didnt know anyone that knew anything about photography. My only knowledge was from reading magazines like "digital photographer" and "digital photography 101" so I guess I was cornered into the medium Network with your people: https://www.builtinireland.ie/

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of "Cat," and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it," she said. "I think that's what he would have wanted.
