Another airline survey?

i have posted an image of a professional NY photographer, who still

film.

that makes two.

meanwhile, billions of digital photos are taken every day and uploaded
to various online services, nearly all of which with smartphones. more
than one *trillion* photos were taken in 2017.

Both of the above sell a lot of film cameras.

nowhere near as many as they used to.

go ask them how their film sales have dramatically dropped off in
recent years.

I wonder why a lot of
professional photographers don't listen to you.

they don't need to. they already are on the digital bandwagon.

very, very few photographers are still shooting film and that number is
shrinking rapidly.

what a joke. that is a completely bogus article. every single point is
*wrong*.

Snip good points well made

Film might have perceived advantages, even if they're difficult to
express:

* More care/time/thought might be taken over taking a shot because of
the cost/time consequences (developing, loading etc) and limitations
(fixed ISO, burst facilities etc);

* Much as the analogue/digital discussions in audio, the quality is
in the eye of the beholder - film is 'felt' to be better than
digital. Ironically, this is often to do with limitations of the
medium. And no amount of measurement or argument is going to shift
that perception.


And nobody has mentioned - it's fun!

Yep! Forgot that. But one person's fun is another's something less than
fun I suppose.



Yep! I have a photo project going called "Derrieres" I am certain that
when I finish it, there will be those who will not think it's funny.

Bummer, eh?


That will be their problem, not mine.
