red, it's all about red.......and green


the hues that clue me in are the significant loss of depth of red in digital and the overabundance of red on certain films. I have used various films with various lens filters in the past and I have always seen more red saturation in film than in digital. Besides, someone with an eye like yours would prefer to use a traditional camera. It is certainly more technique involved and skill oriented. Keep it up, you're good!

aha! huh. i used to be able to tell digital shots by the 'pingy' ( - my term for the occasional blown out pixel that made things look flatter, or... something) but i havent been able to spot the difference with the newer &better cameras.

i do prefer the old school film method - i know photoshop well (not well enough to salvage all the blown out shots from last year, :( ) and like being able to recover lost details in film. i rarely crop my shots, though, and usually just adjust for color and darkness. also, the idea that i'm not limited to what my memory card can hold.

and thank you for the compliment - i really do love to shoot, and without the ability to do the darkroom adjusting - the computer gives me the 'fidget' factor i dont know if i'll get with digital. :biggrin:
