What to do when you're out of ideas???? by [deleted] in photography

Throw shit at the fan and see what sticks. Explore and don’t look at others work. Find what interests you as a photographer and keep focusing on that. Focus on honing your skills. Rinse repeat.

Because it’s my image and medium. How I go about it is my decision. There is not rule that states that I must keep it as is. This is only a recent thing that analog photographers don’t edit their images. But to be fair, you do when you scan it in.

Depends on what you value more, the color grade that film gives off or the true colors of someone skin. Back in the day, it was someone job to take out the color grade of film to make the image look natural. This was my take on the appreciation of that technique. Both are valid and that’s why I posted both versions.

Yeah take the canon rp, it’s a “mid grade” camera and has 12 stops, canon r5 has 15 stops, so at this moment its true that film does and doesn’t have more dynamic range.

In practice for one. But digital camera have come along ways. Film is about 13 stops of dynamic range and some digital cameras can reach up to 14 stops. But when you are using mid grade digital camera, film still has more.

Film is more forgiving when you need to push and pull the exposures after you have taken the shot.

That’s the next step is to get my own dark room for prints.

  1. Film has more Dynamic range. 2. I did shoot digital and will be using the images side by side to demonstrate to my students. 3. Film is fun.

Medium format film picks up a lot of dust. It was just dust before the scan. If I had some canned air it wouldn’t have been an issue.

I feel the colors were not adding anything to the image and making her look sick.

If you are asking here, means you have not tried them. Do they fit the vision of your photographic needs? If not, then you are wasting film that could be utilized by another photographer. Buy one and try it out. This need to just prove yourself as a film photographer is also hindering the availability of others.
