Did anyone else go on an Easter egg hunt?

So, what are you shooting this month?

Do you shoot film or digital? Why?

Dean Thoreau · 04-15-2010, 02:44 PM

i shoot both..digital and film....something about the smell of developing chemicals and the feel of a B/W negative between your fingers ...and doing it all in a "dark BAG" or dark room..that i just can not give up.

Tho i must admit digital is so much easier and faster...cheaper, simpler and with adobe i to can be ansel adams.... (opps my prejudice is showing)

I use digital for simple pictures..family stuff....and all that....

when i am photographing for my personal artistic gratification i use my 35 mm or my 126 or will make a camera out of a shoe box and have some fun......

This month i am photographing the new grandchild.the old grandchild....the rhubarb....the strawberries, the worms, my roses as they grow.....and continuing on my not study....i am now at not anymore

Digital. I find it easier, especially when I play. I have two cameras: a Canon Powershot SD450 Elph (might be time to get a new one) and my Canon XSi.

The Elph I use when I want something quick or when I'm cycling (it's very light and easy for me to grab).

The XSi is my dSLR and allows me to play and experiment with a variety of things. I'm thinking of perhaps investing (once in Cali) in a new all-purpose lens. The one I have is ok but I'm contemplating if a different one might serve me better (which one I don't know yet as I still need to research some more).

Hey Little man how you been? I've been wanting to ask if you still have that pic you took of GG and I? We lost it during one of our computer crashes, we sure did love that one. Good to see so many friends again.
