Digital Photography is now good enough that there is no reason for most people to ever want a film camera again. I compare the advantages and disadvantages of digital cameras vs. traditional film cameras so you can decist if digital is right for you.
You're right. The film, processing and printing for 15 images of 120 costs about $26. The roll I'm currently shooting is the first roll through a new-to-me camera. The first 10 shots were shot with a finder that blocked the middle of the focus screen and in which the meter didn'...
, learn how to scan and invert negatives (that is also not quite developed topic right now, but at least with good activity in it), go in tedious route of shooting with two cameras: film and digital. And then compare the results and learn through gazillion videos on youtube and posts ...
After the failure of first try, I had kept asking myself why and how before every shot. The feature of films emerged in that period. I am not like some old photographers (we call them “old witch” in China)who always boast the film rules and films are better than digital forever cra...

How do you know what exposure length to use? Early on, the answer to this is likely as long as your telescope mount or tracker will let you. For example, it’s better to shoot for two minutes at ISO 400 than for thirty seconds at ISO 6400. ...
Origins: Steven Sasson and the Digital Camera The year is 1975. The global camera market is expanding at an unstoppable momentum, powered both by advancements in technology as well as manufacturing. The 35mm film SLR rules as both the most desirable camera design for consumers as well as the...
The reason why pundits tell the caricatures rather than the real stories is that imagining CEOs to be fools makes us feel better about ourselves. After all, if only foolish people get disrupted, then we—assuming we are not fools—should be okay. Unfortunately, that’s not how the world wo...
Long before the cutting-edge stuff happens, computers do a lot more work than film ever did. But can you still call it a photograph? In the olden days, you'd take a photo by exposing light-sensitive film to a scene. Any fiddling with photos was a laborious effort in the darkroom. D...
Most budding and professional photographers will tell you that the most important ingredient in the optical system is the sensor, because that's the part that captures the light. The sensor is essentially the "film" material of a digital camera. No light, no photo. ...
