| Date: 2008-05-23 06:28 Can I as a start up photographer, get by with a video camera, 35mm camera and a
digital camera? Video for interviews and how model reacts when live, 35mm for
versatile still shots and digital to just shoot away and save the best. |

frames in RAW. Make sure you have a good photography program such as photoshop
elements or photofiltre on your computer. Also make sure you have good lighting.
If you have all of these, you should be okay. |

 ID: 182744 Posts: 1795 | Date: 2008-05-25 02:04 Well, unless you want to file for bankruptcy every six months like every pro
photographer had to do back in the day, stay away from film. My God, were those
expensive days! Well, not so much after you got the hang of each type of film
and the peculiarities of each different camera, but the learning curve is a
freaking whack on the wallet!
Film is so much different than digital. You do not expose digital the same as
you expose film. And while the learning curve on digital is about the same as
film, it does not take as long, digital, unlike film, does not spoil or age
between shoots. Digital color does not change because of the temperature. No
slip ups in processing causing you to lose your shoot. No waiting period to
review your images. No very expensive call backs of models and grips for
do-overs. No print variation. No all-nighters in the darkroom breathing crap
like fumes from Microdol X or Potassium Ferro Cyanide. No prints sticking
together in the heat or because all of the fixer didn't squeegee off. No running
out of film during a shoot. No worry about condensation in-canister when running
in and out of cold or heat. Not forgetting the ASA/ISO on the wrong film speed.
No hundreds of dollars out of pocket before a shoot even begins.
Nah...drop the film camera. Not needed at all for what you plan to do. And
despite the arguments of some pros, I have yet to see digital fail to do
anything film can. Yup, you film buffs...that is my proclamation. Get your hands
on a true digital camera...not the watered down "35mm's" they sell in the
stores, but a true digital camera...and then lie to me and tell me that film can
beat it for resolution and color depth. If you want to view true digital
quality, check out the stuff NASA was producing as far back as 1966. Yeah...just
like chip speed for PCs, the technology has been there but is being let out to
retail very slowly. Even so, off the shelf can go toe to toe with film.
Sometime aback one of the photo mags did a blind test with pro photographers who
swore by film. I cannot remember the magazine but the results surprised and
embarrassed the pros who could not guess correctly which images were film and
which were digital with the naked eye. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |

| Date: 2008-05-26 00:24 Carib & Charles, Thanks for information. I love digital. Crisp
& clear. Goofs instantly trashed. Used to waste a lot of film, exposure, ceiling
shots, pictures of finger, etc. Look at digital as a computer that takes pics.
Both of you always have great answers and are prominent in forum. Cheers
Charles! |

about a med/large format camera |

 ID: 249080 Posts: 5 | Date: 2008-07-08 02:58 Maybe a bit late but I would like to reply on the film issue.
@ Carib, agree, film is costly and time consuming. To digitalise it needs
expensive equipment, like a Hasselblad or Fuji.
I use the Fuji 680 GXIII after I digitalise the films using an Epson V750.
The problem with digital is colour, depth and focus. The flatness of the sensor
takes it away and going to large formats, digital is losing quickly quality. As
long as you stay in A4-A3 it is all right, beyon that, they are not as good as
the Hasselblad, Rollei or Fuji.
Depending on the setting of my scanner, my filesizes vary from 450 Mb to 2,2 Gb
per take.
You'll need very fast pc's to work with this kind of pictujres. |

laptop, if your pc's running slow with large images increase the DDR memory up
to at least 1gb & it should work much faster |

classic look - needs some photoshop editing though |
