Thanks for that Sir. Please let us know aside from what you said that "ginagawa nitong magaan at
madali ang pagkuha so ok lang din" which is the Digital. Did you find Non-digital Photography as
difficult as no LCD to look at right after shooting an image? And we all know the difference between
the two however did it change your way of shooting? How did your photos change from
Analog to digital?
I had a conversation with an Enthusiast and he is in to Architectural Photography.
No argue but it was a great conversation since both of us were interested, I started with film as well.
His opinion, Digital is "not challenging" because you can take shots as many as you want/can then
delete if you do not like it and realized just now what you Sir have just shared with Digital "shoot
muna bago creativity" actually made sense but no offense to my co-photogs out there. I am using
DSLR for 5 years now. And still learning.
My Enthusiast friend challenged me in Photography but will share it when questions above get
answers
Hi sir good day. ako din no offense lang din sa mga photogs here ha? Its just my humble opinion. Well regarding my post here. Nasabi kong nagiging magaan ang pagkuha, dahil kung sa film eh you need to buy rolls of film, at bawat rolyo eh 36 shots lang. Well as compared sa DSLR eh lagyan mo lang ng 8gb-16gb-32gb ok na ok na. Regarding sa prints and or image scanning. Kung digital ang gamit mo just pull out the MEM card then saksak sa PC or just get the USB wire ng camera then plug sa PC then file transfer na, either you save it sa HD mo or sa pc mo mismo, or derecho print na. Very easy its like a "1-2-3 go step." Sa aalog or film kasi after a roll tago tas you need to be extra careful sa paghandle ng undeveloped film baka ma exposed. Once na collect mo na mga rolyo mo, derecho ka pa sa favorite lab mo or processing shops. Then gastos ka ulit papa DO mo then papaprint mo, or after mo pa DO eh scan to CD as JPEG file na. Either way magastos at mahabng proseso ito.
So sa madaling sabi, malaking ma memenos mo kung mag digital ka or lets say, mas makakaipon ka ng pang pondo for extra gear like extra lens and or accessories mo rather than hati yung pondo mo sa pag process at scan ng mga photos. For me this is one big plus factor ng digital. It made things easier and accessible. To a point na kahit bata eh kayang kayang gawin to.
Shooting film, yes masasabi kong mahirap. You need to construct everything before you press that shutter, mahirap ang trigger happy sa analog. sa 36 shots per roll, you need to be precise, but not perfect, just precise sa timpla mo, kasi nga de-film ang gamit mo, di ka mag aaksaya ng film sa mga shots na di sigurado, duon nabubuo yung discipline na I think kulang sa digital (no offense mga brothers ha). sa digital eh pag pangit o kulang derecho PS or lightroom yan or any other great photo manipulating softwares around, (alam ko ito dahil I also do photo manipulation sa digital since I do shoot digital na din).
Masaya sana kung matututo ang mga aspiring photogs ng principle at basics ng film photography. Its beyond the things you read in books. The anticipation ng bawat shot na kinuha mo, the trials and errors, struggles and cost cutting. Lahat may kanya kanyang role.
Regarding naman po sa pag kuha, malaki ang naitulong ng film photography sa digital photography ko. I can know shoot faster, I think relatively smarter. Sometimes I dont even use my LCD to view my photos, nasanay sa film talaga. Bottom line if you have a backgrpund sa film photography madaming benefits ang makukuha mo dito. From composition, to correct exposures, at kahit sa personality mo maaapektuhan. Just my humble opinion.
I have share my knowledge to some of the members here, and like I told them if you like to venture sa photography. Get a film camera and start learning the basics, get a notepad, jot down every event na kumukuha ka, settings mo everything. Gugulan niyo ng panahon wag madaliin, in the end you'll be surprised pag hawak mo ng digital eh "maning-mani nalang"
The only changes na nakita ko sa mga images between film and digital sa film I really love the grains natural yung mga yun at mahirap ireplicate sa mga softwares as far as I am concern and for me replicating grains eh mejo uhhemn, hehe. Sa digital naman wala naman akong maaangal sa solidity ng features clarity and vividness ng colors.
film = creativity bago shot
digital = shot bago creativity (paulit ulit na proseso ito at pag natumbok ang gusto may pattern na gagayahin nalang sa susunod na proyekto)
film = pag humawak ng DSLR tinkering time eh sandali nalang, dahil sa isang photog who handled film cameras before konting introduction nalang ang gagawin niya sa sarili niya.
digital = pag pinahawak mo ng full manual film camera, it would take time bago siya makakuha ng one decent shot.
film = you will get the discipline and attitude na dapat
digital = you will get what the specs would give you (mega pixels,image stabilization, effects etc)
again no offense mga bros at wala akong pinapanigan I am both film and digital photographer. These are just my honest opinions at observations
