Thank you everyone for your generous comments.

 

I love shooting with film but unfortunately I don't really get to do it enough as I rely on friends to scan the films for me and feel bad about always asking for more scans :(

 

Modern DSLRs are getting closer but they still have a good bit to go before they match what film does colour wise.  That said though, the results from most modern DSLRs are still pretty good.

agree with chris's comment, I wish I had the dedication to do something like this :-) I really admire anyone who is prepared to go that bit extra.

love this, good job I read your description before commenting because I was about to ask what the white balance K number was to get this beautiful colour. :-)   I watched my dad for many years shooting with file and live it, I loved watching him develop, it was like he was creating something right before my eyes. Back to reality now though, Im too lazy for all that. I wish they would hurry up and develop an affordable DSLR with the dynamic range for colour and light that a film camera has :-)

Hi Donald

Thanks for your comment. I made a decision this year to start shooting film again but rather than go back to 35mm I should go for medium format. I've been admiring the work of other scottish landscape photographers for some time and the common thing amongst them is that they all still continue to shoot film. Its all subjective of course but I feel that film captures colours better especially colour gradients in the sky - they just seem smoother and creamier if that makes sense. Film images also have a certain look about them - 3D is about the best way I can describe it, its really hard to put my finger on it but they do in my opinion look better than digital.

Don't get me wrong I still use my digital gear but film is fast becoming my favourite.

I have a friend who owns a Nikon LS-9000ED film scanner, he kindly offered to scan a few images for me.

cheers
Chris
