I did use film. From grade school on when I used a Brownie Starflex (or Starflash??), I enjoyed capturing moments in time. For my major in Visual Communications, we did darkroom work in B&W and even some color (way too tedious and variable-darn filters and water temp). My first SLR was a Nikon F2 Photomic that i recently sold to Adorama which was probably a mistake. I wasn't that involved for awhile due to raising a family but bought a used F4 in 1999. My first digital camera was a used Canon G4 that actually allowed RAW file capture. I have always shot manual, always shoot RAW. F2 was all manual even focus.
A return to school 8 years ago introduced me to that behemoth marketing monstrosity Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop. Created by engineers it does an action using 20 different methods but I rely on plugins like OnOne to smooth the workflow.
That said, I have been thinking about MF for years and it occurred to me if not now, when. I want to think in film again, to really study a scene like I used to instead of a P&S.
I agree with 67avion, very eloquently stated, btw. B&W film will never be supplanted by digital, imho. The next time you visit Yosemite, check out Ansel Adams B&W prints. There is a luminosity and depth captured in the silver and gel that digital will not achieve.
Thanks all for looking.
TC appears in my blog. The images on my website are for landscapes and rockstars (check those out, you may see some familiar faces-there would be more but I signed contracts to be up front: KISS, Motley Crue, Joe Bonamassa, etc.)
