"Teen hipsters discover joys of analog photography"
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-200...home_multiline
Something that annoys me when people bring up the subject of film photography is this: Quote:
If I get a surprise every time I developed my film, then I would rethink my processes and try and work on becoming consistent. If I get a surprise when I develop my film, I'm surprised. |

I'm sick to death of the whole "Film is lo-fi! Film is unpredictable! Film is ART!" thing. It does the true quality of film a terrible disservice and causes some people to mistakenly believe that their photographs are all great just because they were shot using film (oh, if it were only so easy... )

Give them a brake guys. Don't you agree that the first rolls of film you developed were 'unpredictable'.

"Digital photography allows for no mistakes by the camera," Shaw says. "The picture is flawless, and you are the only one to blame for its apparent ugliness. But with film, you never really know what's going to happen. It's a surprise every time you develop and print your film. Sometimes there can be weird color granulations, random light splotches or double exposures."
So if you use film, there's a good chance you'll end up with some kind of fault? And these faults are good things? Did you say this is from an article promoting film use? |

The first film I developed was totally opaque. I was using a Paterson developer that should have been mixed 1:9. I mixed 9 parts of developer with 1 part of water . I remember thinking "bloody hell this could get expensive". . That was nearly 40 years ago.
