Here are some images from a shoot I did over the weekend that I shot in both film as well as digital. Recently, I have been missing the quality and format of film- its really hard to put my finger on it really. As the quality of digital improves and we are so inundated with digital we are getting further away from the distinction. Compared to film, digital is hyper-sharp and encourages hyper-real trends through highpass and other sharpening filters. Film has less information in a way, it is a little fuzzier, a little more pixelated, the darks are a little deeper, a little richer. I also find the format of my digital SLR constricting. Like a 35mm camera the format is somewhat awkward and doesn't translate to print and portfolio without cropping the image. Ebay is a graveyard for cameras that you could expect to pay $3,000 not even 5 years ago no going for around $300. So I think I might begin my ebay hunt for an unreasonably cheap 6x4.5! So which are film and which are digital, can you tell?!
