Film and Digital

I have a nice, new D70. I like it well enough, but I find that I've been using my film cameras so much more than I thought I would. I think I have less than a handful of images from the D70 up on my site. I'm not sure why. I suppose it has something to do with learning a whole new process - Photoshop and the likes.

Maybe it's something more than that. I see it on other sites as well - film is still strong, and in many cases I see a resurgence of interest in the medium. For me, I just know the characteristics of what I'm working with when I work with film. I know how the light will lay down its image. I'm not a professional - and most of the time I'm more concerned with capturing the FEEL, rather than the actual image. I hope that comes through somehow -- point being, I can capture the feel of the image better on film -- dunno why -- it just is.

I'm certain that I'll eventually get the hang of the way lights plays upon the digital sensor - I'm sure of it. Until then, my film cameras are safe and sound.
