I just read a few of the Basic DPI posts, which pitted digital against film.
My general impression is that yes, film can still outperform digital in terms of capturing and outputting detail.
On the other hand, there are many advantages to the digital medium. We all know what they are.
If you want to produce work that is similar to Ansel Adams, then I’d have to encourage you to work with an 8×10 film camera, build a darkroom, and do it the old fashioned way, which is certainly a real craft.
In my case, my goal is to output 8×10 color prints and maybe go as large as 16 x 20’s. (using a 8.2mp at 100 ISO)
I think digital will enable me to be relatively prolific, and will satisfy my creative need to experiment with imagery that will range from murky to hard-edged. I’ll be able to afford to shoot lots of photos, relative to film, and that will result in a greater number of excellent photos being produced.
Those are my thoughts on the subject. -doug
