I used to order prints online. Matte, glossy, or "pearl" finish, or that terrible metallic paper, the usual options. About two years ago I started having them printed at a local place run by just a few people. The quality is miles better. I can select any paper I like, I do endless test prints (which you really, really, have to do y'all), no shipping wait, I get a discount because I have a state tax ID, and I'm supporting someone who does excellent work in my city and who supports the arts community. I saw a show by a photography last night. Fantastic work. Huge prints. However he clearly had it printed from some online order place that just used some random Kodak paper. The quality was distracting and overshadowed his work, it wasn't being done justice. There are so many, many, examples of poor printing ruining my impression of work. There's another HUGE artist showing locally whose work is also overshadowed by poor prints (I'm purposefully not going into details). Printing should be taken especially seriously, especially in 2012 when most images don't see paper. By printing something you are making a statement, "I chose this because it stands out far above the others and it demands your attention." That $35 16x20 canvas print doesn't look like a very good deal at all.

Well, I sold my 5d2 + lenses back in March to finance my move out here to the bay area. Bought a 5d3/24-105 kit early in the week and it just so happens the Blue Angels were in town and it was the first time I've gone out and shot anything in 6 months and then sat down and edited photos. Feels good man. Although the 24-105 has. got. to. go. Was really really really missing a 70-200.

I don't know how familiar with China these days, but there are a lot of disgustingly rich people there now that love to show off their wealth. Giving your kid a full frame DSLR with L-glass shows you've got so much money that you don't give a gently caress. Just like how they buy their teenage kids exotic sports cars as their first cars.

This is actually a really solid fakepost and I'm unironically impressed. (Film is dying because Kodak bet all their dollars on lovely point & shoots and photo printers, of all things, and because the average consumer isn't even aware that film is A Thing.) (Film isn't dying. At least I hope it's not, because I have some pretty ok film cameras I'd like to keep using.)

There's a drugstore in this town that will totally process your film for you... by which they mean send it out for FOUR TO SIX WEEKS to some central developing place then you get prints back. Why would anyone even do that? Luckily there's a Walmart 20 feet away that will ACTUALLY process your film and has a minilab and appears to actually know how too used it.

Film is cool but has definitely become a hobby in itself rather than a key part of photography.

I dunno... my film photography is consistently better than my digital. $1/click really makes you think about exposure, color and quality of light, which shadows are falling where, unwanted reflections, is it a worthwhile shot... and I don't even do my own printing yet. I'd recommend film to any of my friends who want to improve their photography technique. edit: yeah, I guess that all qualifies as hobby rather than work or documenting life though...

Personally, I'm slowing down with shooting digital and I've basically turned to 35mm to take snapshots. It's economically retarded, but I enjoy the combination. I have no problem spending hours on post on a digital shot that I've taken the time to setup and put thought into. I don't have to worry about doing much with film snapshots beyond scanning and adjusting curves. They look nice out of camera and friends get a kick out of seeing shots of themselves on film. Up front, shooting RAW may be cheaper, but it's a very malleable format. To get what I want out of it requires a lot of processing because despite offering a ton of potential, digital looks like poo poo straight out of camera. I absolutely love doing post work, but it's a large investment of time, even when weighed against the cost of film. burzum karaoke fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Oct 10, 2012 |

What an odd philosophy - it's the exact opposite of what I would expect someone to have. Still, if it works for you, it must be okay.

Vincent Peters is another great shooter that only shoots film as far as I know. I would love to be so good that I can shoot film and still get clients but the expectations in professional workflow dictate digital for the most part. I'm not sure I'd book Stangel to shoot a tedious catalogue job but he probably doesn't want to be booked for poo poo like that.

I imagine it'll be a staple of a lot of wedding photographers for a while though. That being said I quite like Alienskin but I tweak the hell out of anything I use to the point I'm using my own created presets.
