I always wonder about this. Film is the classic way and it gives a softer look to pictures whilst digital is very precise. I love the fact that I can make instant decisions about digital pictures and not have to print out junk but there is something aesthetically pleasing about film.

I agree Brown Sugar but I meant what created the best original picture. Photographers used to use filters, different lenses and lighting to create a magnificent picture. I think that you can do the same with digital cameras as SLR digital cameras prove but I think that the medium of film has a little more romanticism.

Some very powerful words there, my friend. I totally agree with you on that part.

I am a digital-only person, stopped shooting film a long time ago, mostly because of the speed associated with digital as opposed to film developing times.

One could argue with an extra thousand words, but here's a picture instead

I think that film still has that "certain" appeal that digital doesn't. I am all digital, but didn't get into photography until digital became popular, so I cannot speak from experience when it comes to film. I think that if I had been able to learn how too develop film on my own; I would have fallen in love with film. There is something a bit satisfying about developing and working with film. Digital is just SO much easier.
