Hmmm...

It's been a while since my last film vs. digital post. Oops! I meant to make it more of a regular ongoing series, although now with only one nifty fifty, it'll be a bit trickier to pull off.

Is it just me or is there really no noticeable difference in the tone in this set? Sure the colors are different, but I'm not getting that unmistakable filmy look that is so easily achieved indoors.

I can't say I necessarily prefer one over the other here, as they look pretty damn similar to me.

I asked this on twitter but thought I'd pose it here too - do you photographers insure your equipment? And if so, with what kind of policy and with what company? Thanks for any help!

  4. My preference is for film. Digital, much as I love it, has saturation issues that take a little extra effort in Photoshop to correct. I only have a digital camera right now and this is my constant complaint. But then a proper course in digital photography (and Photoshop) might help me with that.

    Both photos are beautiful, though.

  5. Look into Squaretrade . 3Yr warranty covers $700-$800 for about $95 . Not too familiar with them but they have pretty good reviews.

  9. I have to say I prefer the first one, so the film!

    can I ask you how you transfer your films on the pc?
    I shot in film too and I use a scanner for diapo (slide), but the quality is not so good. I also ask for the digital copy when get a film developed in the shop.. but there is a long long waiting time!!!

  10. I cover my equipment with my homeowners insurance - you can up the coverage beyond the standard to fit the pricing of your goods. Renters insurance works the same.
