10 Things I Hate About Film Photography.
Film is a four-letter-word. It’s a hideous part of our photographic past, and we’ll be better off once it’s been eliminated from society. I’m ashamed to admit that I tried film once, but I quickly learned just how disgusting it really is and I’ve been clean ever since that occasion. Just take my word for it — FILM IS BAD (mmmkay). Here are ten things I hate about film:
1. DIRTY DIRTY GRAIN
Seriously, this has to be one of the things I hate most about film. That grain you get all over the photos is absolutely terrible! And the worst part is that you can’t entirely get rid of it with Photoshop — so you’re stuck with it. Those awful little specks show up all over the photo and add unwanted texture and inconsistencies. I don’t know about you, but if I want grain in my photo for “artistic reasons” I’d like to be able to at least have the choice of adding it in during post processing. That’s why digital is the way to go.
