Re: [Digital BW] Scanning 35mm vs digital camera

2006-03-24 by David Aschkenas

In my eyes, the bottom line is film looks different than digital. PERIOD
Think of it this way..can you imagine a photo by Robert Frank, Josef
Koudelka, Cartier Bresson, William Klein....without a grainy grittiness???
Can you imagine a photo by Weston, Strand, Stieglitz, Adams or any other
large format shooters..WITH grain and grittiness??
Different looks come with different materials ..film / cameras / digital /
gelatin silver /platinum /inkjet .....on and on.
Just pick the combination that gives you either the look / feel you like, or
the look you can live with.
It's not about pixels, it's about pictures.
Just another photographers 2 cents.  About all any of this is worth!
