I work in a photography studio, with some of the biggest aviation photographers in the world, these guys have been shooting for at least 30 years, professionally.
Since they tried digital, jokes about film photographers started to float around. they all said its like living the learning process from 30 years ago, again.
And lets not even talk about reducing costs, I like both but I think people that choose film over it its just a matter of personal attachement. It happens all the time with evolution, vhs to dvd, tapes to cds, b&w to color.Remember when color cameras came out? There was people that said if you shooting color its not proffesional, its not artistic, its souless.
If you get a good professional camera you will match, and do better things that with film, faster and with less light. there is still some problems going on like with the wide angle lenses but companies are fixing everything as we speak, in a few years, film will be only used by a few, if technology lets you do better things, why not take advantage of it? I worked for a year in a skate magazine, they forced their staff to switch to digital why? it will save them over 20 grand a year. You can tell if an action shoot went good or bad just by looking it in a monitor, right there.
what do you think?
