If that works for you that’s great. I shoot film too. I don’t find shooting digital complex, certainly not more complex than shooting film. Of course, I don’t spend time futzing around with menus and such. Just aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and ISO, same as with a film camera. Honestly, I don’t know what digital shooters need to change in their menus when they are out shooting. .
Aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO.
Well....at least ISO needs a menu on every digital camera to have crossed my path. Usually exposure compensation does not on a DLSR but does on compact digitals. I can adjust any of the above on most manual film cameras by turning a physical knob. Even later film SLRs in the 90s had menus for ISO settings and whether you wanted aperture or shutter priority and so on.
Constrains may not be quite the right word....and no, it is not at all analogous to playing the guitar or ukulele.
It's more like comparing taking lessons and practicing eight hours a day five days a week for seven years to buying a bunch of CD's.
(I wrote a bunch of stuff, deleted it, tried again, and again and still cannot quite find the words to express what I'm thinking.)

Given the quality of the images on IG, I doubt anyone can tell the difference between film and digital, especially digital manipulated to look like film.Now I know where to find film photography these days. On the dumpster a.k.a. iG.
I wonder how many of them out where are able to see difference between film and FujiNoFilm film preset.

If the settings on your camera determine whether you can live with yourself, you need to change hobbies!I don't know how anyone can shoot jpgs and still live with themselves.
If you don't print the images, it pretty much doesn't matter.I think I have some film emulation selections for my digital camera, but they are probably in the menu somewhere so I never use them. That, and I think they only apply to jpgs. I shoot RAW. Shooting jpgs is like heating up a Lean Cuisine in the microwave for dinner. Sure, you end up with an image and nobody can tell the difference on Instagram, but you know that it sucks. I don't know how anyone can shoot jpgs and still live with themselves.

My film cameras pre-date the '90s plastic blob and LCD screen craze. When I shoot digital, I use a Fujifilm XT2. I bought it specifically because it handles like my film cameras, with aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO settings made using physical knobs/dials/rings. I can't remember the last time I looked at the menu.
Enough of this gatekeeping nonsense.
...I'm sure like many I sometimes shoot RAW and JPEG combined...and 99 times out of 100 I end up using the JPEGs....
I probably do too. I probably made that selection in the menu when I first set my camera up, thinking at the time that I might need a jpg every once in a while, and just haven’t changed it, but I don’t think I have ever used a jpg SOOC. I have exported RAW files that I have worked on as jpgs to upload a couple of times.I shoot RAW and JPEG on the Fuji XT-2, also, but use RAW 95+% of the time.
I am sort of the school that if you don’t print it, it really isn’t a photograph.If you don't print the images, it pretty much doesn't matter.

Not yet, but you have made a good start. I am obviously overstating my position, but I think the tangible embodiment of the work is critical. It is probably a position falling further and further out of favor.I have hundreds of negatives that are waiting to be printed and work prints that have not been refined. Guess those are not photos in your book.
But where does the scan of a print stand?Not yet, but you have made a good start. I am obviously overstating my position, but I think the tangible embodiment of the work is critical. It is probably a position falling further and further out of favor.

But the initial post was about a company using digital (social) media to engage folks in analog photography...that would end up pretty much only as digital.Wow. Of all the threads...I never would have guessed that this one would degenerate into people bickering about the finer points of digital imaging.
Can you guys take your discussion of digital stuff over to somewhere in the digital area...Please?

Yes, you forgot that “I am right you are wrong” is rule #1 and that there is rule #2 that says “if you can prove me that what I say is wrong, refer to rule #1”…- I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG
