10 Things I Love About Film Photography.

I LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT FILMS! When I buy film, I buy 2 or 3 rolls of about 10 different films rather than boxes of the same film. I love to experiment with new films and see how they all result in vastly different photos. Though I’m starting to prefer certain types of film for certain cameras of mine, I’m certainly not excluding any specific type of film. This is another point that digital can’t reproduce with Photoshop.
I LOVE THE DYNAMIC RANGE OF FILM! I’ve pulled off some pretty amazing shots with b/w film — shadows, straight into the sun, and water reflecting sunlight all in the same frame. Right now, digital can’t keep up.
