In the last exhibition I went to in Eutin. Nearly all pictures the photographer showed were taken with a film camera.
How beautiful color, contrast, detal, I don't know how to say. Beautiful blue sky and lots of detail in the shady areas... I imagined to have taken that picture with my camera and I immediately thought about a blown out sky... and his pictures were perfect...

The other day I said G I wanted to take some pictures with film just to try... he opened his eyes so big...
I could see that he was doing the maths.... thinking how much the adventure would cost him.... Big Grin

I occasionally think the same... but in the week that I've owned it, my E-3 (which is not an inexpensive camera) has cost me $2.32 per photo. And I get to keep the camera. Cool

I do still wish that I had a FSLR occasionally, but I know I'd go back to shooting two rolls of film a year with it.

Great shot Don.

Irma - contrast the grain in the film with your high ISO shots.

Canon stuff.

Try using Velvia slide film, Don. It will spoil you for all other kinds of film. It has a lovely magenta undertone, and scans very well because of its very fine grain.

I don't have the patience to scan my own. My scanner isn't that good either. I am going to limit my use of film but it's so much fun to hear the shutter go off.

I know exactly what you mean about the shutter. You're making it hard to resist the lure of an old film camera, but I'm afraid to look through a 135-format viewfinder. I may like it too much and learn what I'm missing. Rolleyes

I'll be honest. I like my Kodak digicam a lot more.
