I would like to add a small point here, not on the finish but the over all picture, no pun.
When all your friends are for ever upgrading and having to have two or three hard drives to look after all
of their files. Then the it will never happen to me, the hard drive fails and all your work is gone.
Then there is the new toy in the bag, and only to keep up with what they have next door, or what the local
camera shop has that is going to make you a better photographer. (yea right).
Did i hear somewhere it is cheap to use digi, well lets see, a mid slr (digi) 500+ lens 300+ software, this can be got
free on line. So internet is needed, (most will have this but money) Cost of inks. 10 a pot x 6-9 in a printer,
ah they say, we only print what we want as you do in the dark room. It is really it is so costly to use this paper and inks.
Then there is the way to view them on a lap top, no feel for picture taken just a image on a screen.
I see a lot of do a wedding or the baby next door, and what do they ask for when they look at your work on other subjects.
Yes your right, can you do it in mono (black and white) may be toned, yes this can be done on the screen, but they seem
more interested in the film format strange that, with all that tec about aswell.
I say this with experience, and just lately a lady a couple of doors down has only just asked me to do a family shot of her children.
In film no less.
Sorry to go on but in one of the photo mags out now, in side black and white, convert your digi files. You spend all the money then
go and convert a colour chip to mono, and they still do not look good. Should have bought a couple of rolls of film saved your self
a 1000 +.
Well come to the site.

Long live film
