it really sucks that 35mm stuff is going to get very expensive.
i should see if i can buy an old enlarger from a school or something. i've got a camera, although an autowind would be nice (that's ALL. well, maybe the options of apeture priority, shutter priority, or full manual.. ) |

manual everything is the way to go, you have so much control over the shot.
Digital photography is taking the art out of photgraphy. |

otherwise i'd be in photography 2 for next year. |

Technology has made taking a picture so easy. It's kind of annoying how easy it is now. Anyone could take a picture with the click of a button. Film is so much more fun, I heard. I can't say I've tried it though. |

I have a digital camera. I don't mind it as long as I can get what I want.
I by mistake kept a school 35mm from my photography class and I used the film yesterday. It really was brilliant. But everything really is expensive/I actually like seeing the shots I take before printing them. If money wasn't an object/I had a darkroom(!) then I would agree with all of you hands down. |

I like my Canon EOS-1D Mark II more then any film camera I have owned in my lifetime. And I own a Hasselblad, you do not know Film or any kind of camera until you have used a Hasselblad, and you are a true 110% photographer when you own a Hasselblad. These bad boys are amazing..... I want a Hasselblad digital, but I dont have $29 grand....

They shoot too slow for sports too. The quality is amazing though. |

i think 35 mm is better than medium format for field work.
if you're in a studio, medium format is fine. otherwise, 35 mm is better. |

Ohh man when I took my photography class, it was boring as hell. But the darkroom was the fun part. It was fun just doing your own thing, developing your pics. We even had a little radio, but I always listened to my cd player instead.

I have a cannon rebel.
I got mine marked down at walmart for like $150.  I wish it was digital though. [edit]I took photography last year at school, and we had a dark room. But, we had to take our negatives to walmart to get them printed, because our school's too cheap to buy a special printer. At first its really hard to do everything in the dark room, because you have to crack open your film, and place it on a spool thingy. I had like 5 rolls get messed up because I forgot that my watch's dials glow in the dark. o_O |

the special printer is an enlarger.
and i want one. i found one online for a hundred bucks, but it's probably really crappy. good ones are like... a thousand. i suppose my school counts as a rich one. we have 3 enlargers. one doesn't work, but oh well. |

The quality is amazing though. I really don't use it much for sports. Its more or less a still photography type deal for weddings and such, I do senior pictures sometimes as well. Then there is the occasional times I try to use it for sports and it fails, the thing is to big and I like it on a tripod. I use it if I need a huge picture for say a billboard. Basically my camera collection consists of 1 Canon Digital Rebel 1 Canon 30D 1 Canon EOS 1D Mark II 1 H2D-39 and it is 39 Mega pixels (Worth EVERY PENNY!) I started out with a Canon film camera but no longer have it, and I have no idea what it was. |

QUOTE(Gypsy Eyes @ Jul 2 2006, 12:04 AM) Digital photography is taking the art out of photgraphy. I would largely have to disagree. Digital doesn't take away or eliminate the art of photography, I just don't see that. You can have all the technical abilities and expertise in the field of manual film and photography, but without true vision, where are you? I don't feel persuaded in the idea that the more technical and manual complexity used in photography the more artistic a photograph would be. Also, don't forget the large variety of benefits to digital photography, and the new horizons of control one could have over their lens. These benefits are no more real than in cinematography, but I would still argue their existence in still photography. Granted, manual photography has its benefits, but I don't exactly see how diverging from that technology into a new one kills the art. In fact, I find such a presumption rather insulting. |

Now that I think about it (and I've been photographing for a little longer), I'm going to agree with Nate here. In my opinion, camera doesn't really matter, as long as you know how to use it. Cameras just capture what you envision. All that stands between you and your image is the camera.
"Better cameras" just make it easier to do that... |

"Better cameras" just make it easier to do that... I disagree. The equipment has to do just as much as the skills the photographer has. I can be one of the best sports photographers in the world, but there is no way on earth I can get a picture in the field with a point and shoot camera as I could with a Digital SLR. Equipment makes or brakes a picture, I could work for national geographic, but having a disposable camera trying to take picture of a tiger would not work out well. Both equipment and skill make a good photo. |

in film, the camera doesn't matter.
a disposable can take great pictures. it's the beauty of film. with digital, the expensive cameras just manage to emulate the cheapest film cameras. digital isn't really taking the art out of photography per say, but only if you don't develop film yourself. sure, you can do the things in the darkroom on a computer... but i'd say it's different in the darkroom. now, if they made a digital enlarger... then i'd say that'd be pretty sweet. useless. but sweet. |

But it is. With film you can't erase things, and blur things and sharpen things with the push of a buttong. Any shitty picture can be made amazing.
