G+_Allen Wheeldon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hey sorry to hear we have people using attack language in a forum about Know how. We cant all be interested in everything, but we shouldn't stomp on others interests. This is my first posting, as a rule i watch the podcast on friday so im a day behind. Last week started.a subject near.and dear to me. Photography, im an old guy so old school for me is 120 roll film. I ive spent a lifetime (for you younger guys). With clicking shutters and kodak film. I thought i might suggest a couple of things .. The trade offs with digital and film in dealing with lens sharpness, depth of field. To increase depth of field you use smaller. Apertures however at the point those smaller apertures are used light is forced through the thickest portion of a lens which is generally the least sharp portion of the optics. The sharpest portion of a given lens is about midway through the aperture scale. This is consistent for film and digital , light is still light. You might with an aperture discussion hyperfocal distance is an interesting side trip. Fixed focus cameras and cheapo digitals depent on it. Medium format 120 vs 35mm film equate well with dslr an point and shoot Digital where sensor size are concerned. . Both are more data better images. Hmm wonder if someone will make a consumer equal to a digital view camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Allen Wheeldon Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I suppose that is part of whst we lost , back when a roll of film was 12 exposures, or 8 for matter. You had to take more care with the composition after all you had so few shots it would be a crime to waste one. Oh and here's on to make your head hurt. Now if you run out of card space but need another shot or 2 you just delete one that may not be a real keeper , that was a no go with film. But what if that so so shot was the last picture you took of a friend or family member that passes away a week later... Allen wheeldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Donald Weller Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Some still wait days to get a good picture. People build images less these days. But on the other hand digital allowed me to learn much much faster than film ever could. Because I can take a picture and see what I got. Then take it again over and over learning what different setting do and how they effect an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Allen Wheeldon Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Dont get me wrong , digital photography is just part of an evolving art form Im still having film withdrawal, i may never get completely over it but i do expose s lot of pixels, my stereo work would probably suffer if it were not for a fuji wd 3d. What i was hoping to say was that the art and a lot of science translates between digital and film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
