Film is not as popular as it used to be. People are more drawn to digital cameras because they are easier to use and can directly connect to a computer. Film is not completely dead, and I don't think it will ever go away. If we use the same camera, shoot the same film, and even use the same darkroom we know that every image is not going to turn out the same, it will be unique to the person who shot it.
In digital photography, most people just pick up a camera and let the camera automatically adjust everything, but in film you have to be aware of different elements that will change your picture. You have to experiment with different settings in different situations and different developers and different times, until you get it just perfect. Digital cameras may be more popular than film, but film is still hanging on strong and it is not dead. Reference http://filmisnotdead.com/ |
