Since I became "Hooked on digital," it has never occurred to me to ever go back to film..... "OF ANY KIND!" Or even think about it. And don't miss it for one milli-second! I shoot nothing but digital with various cameras and I still expose the neat things I did with film. Actually, I think in colour "digital colour is immediate, result is right there in a moment!" No need to or rarely need to bracket frame after frame as we did with film. Nor do I have to take it to the lab, wait for the developing a couple of hours? Days? Weeks? Depending which film I was using? And as I understand from Tina and others, today there is software? I think that's what it is? You can make digital images look like they were shot on film. But being me, my response is always "WHY? AND WHO CARES?" Certainly if the content is a smashing great content! After all isn't it the content that matters most and not whether the image looks like Tri-x, Kodachrome or whatever?Just a couple of early morning thoughts and questions. cheers, ted ================================================ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at frozenlight.eu> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 11:02 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] The MACBA & El Raval > Very nice, Lluis, especially the 2nd and last one.
