Experiments in Photography
I didn't study, today. I intended to, but you know what they say about the best laid plans.
I did, however, practice my violin. (I need to think of a name for her.) And I edited more photos from my trip to Pocahontas....which got me thinking about comments I've heard from other photographers about film being superior to digital, particularly for black and white photography. (It's all a matter of individual preference; some pros swear by digital for everything, and others won't touch digital with a 20-foot pole. The opposite is also true.) I am not sure if I would feel the same, because I have never shot with black and white film. So tomorrow I intend to buy a roll of Fujifilm Neopan 100 Acros and a roll of Kodak T-Max 100. I'll use them both in my Minolta Maxxum 5, have them developed by the same professional lab, and see which I like best. I'll also compare them to what I can do with my DSLR and see whether I prefer film black and white vs. digital...or if I don't have a preference, after all. It should be interesting!
