See one of my previous posts. As the OP I feel my question has been answered and I've posted MY conclusions. However I'm sure the debate will continue. :D

Just a quick one. Why do people seem to conveniently be ignoring my comment about no post with transparency film. Forget social or news..... No don't forget news as I seem to remember seeing the wonderful images coming out of viatnam in the 60s shot on Kodachrome. Anyway most commercial work...

Well I guess that's just me, always ready with a gallon of petrol in case of a fire! :D Glad someone is reading my posts, as you will see I tried to restore love and happiness! Lol :love:

As originator of this post i feel I have lit the blue touch paper..... :( It's been most interesting some of the comments that have been made, and the passions that have been raised. I've been a bit saddened by some of the friction that seems to have been generated that was never my...

Love this!:clap:

Some very interesting points being made here I'd like to comment on a few. A couple of posters have indicated that pp is an integral part of making any image, digital or film. Why? in film days probably 80% of negatives I printed were just straight forward prints. Now although all my images...

Once again I entirely agree which is why I said "in many ways". Whilst there is no doubt it is easier, for people to take, edit and produce an acceptable print, with advances in technology, mastering it is not dependant on the tech and is still as hard to do. Unfortunately I feel some people...

Thank you David the comments you made so eloquently are exactly the sort of thing I am getting at. I think Some posts seem to have unfortunately missed the point I'm trying to make (more likely I've not stated it so clearly). This post was never meant to be a debate on which is better film or...

No offence taken and agree there is a huge amount of skill involved in good digital processing. I love spending hours playing about processing images. I'd say your personal preference to working is ideal.

Once again I totally agree, the mind behind the camera is the most important thing in the whole equation. True the pp is the same as the processing that used to be done in the darkroom, but what I feel is often missing is an understanding of many of those processes. For example I'd guess that...

Yes totally agree I have absolutely no desire to go back to film at all. I am a huge fan of digital and all the great advantages it brings. I think the key thing you said was "learn by trial and error" with learn being the operative word. If someone goes to the trouble of figuring out why the...

Good points folks. Yes digital is fantastic for us old film users there is far less cost, effort (and stress) involved. Hell we don't even have to focus our cameras now! Lol Now we can apply the filter after the taking and remove it when we realise what a mistake it is! Problem is some people...

This could be a contentious posting. I'm interested to know if others feel some of the craft of photography is being lost. In many ways photography is getting a lot easier with digital. When I started about 40 years ago (ok this is where I start sounding old!:lol:) you had to get it right in the...

Ah children, you've got to love em!:) Having 4 children myself (5 to 8) I recognise all you were saying, all the cajoling, pleading, bribery (have you tried offering money! ;) ) yes it can be huge fun trying to get them engaged. :bang: it gets even better the more children you add to the image...

I must admit I was nervous about jail breaking my iPad (a first generation one) and did a lot of research into it. I'm happy to report I have had no problems at all. I have several friends who have done the same to a range of iPads and iPhones also without problems. Although I've never had to...
