OTOH, I disagree with those who proclaim "film is dead" and castigate
those of us who still shoot film. In fact the whole of this thread
proclaims that film is not dead, otherwise why would so many words be
spent on the subject of "Getting that film look"?

The easiest, least expensive way to do it is still to shoot film.

And think about it ... Who shoots film trying to "get that digital look"?


Since I was the one to put the subject on this thread I will speak to
this. There seems to be a few photographers that have gotten use to
the high contrast high saturation prints that they get using some
films. They complain but the look of digital photos. Since contrast
and saturation can be controlled this seems like it should not be a
barrier to using a digital camera. What I am coming to realize is that
in fact they are most are not as interested in how the prints look as
much as finding reasons why shooting film is better then digital.

As for getting film to look like digital this is a goal that I have
when scanning. If one looks at the transfer curves for slide film it
should not be a surprise that it is much easier to get a digital image
to look like film then to go the other way.

I thought it was King Bill that liked to get his flute played.

God, some of you are so willing to accept crap in the world. No wonder
America has a King again.

the Sax player......:^)
