Why I have stopped shooting Digital and returned to Slide Film.
11/02/07
While most people are now shooting Digital I have
decided to revert back to film. Why would he do this
you ask?
The first 10 years or so of my photographic life was spent shooting film. Like many others I could not wait to switch to a digital camera. I quickly worked my way through a succession of digital SLRS; which included the D30, D60 and finally the 10D.
The digital results I obtained, I liked, but I always felt that I was spending twenty percent of my time taking the shot and eighty percent manipulating it later in Photoshop. So for the last six months I have reverted back to shooting slides with my trusty Olympus OM4Ti and I have been very happy with the results.
To summarize why have I switched back to film?
There are some downsides as you would expect:
Will I stay with film? I don't know yet. I am enjoying the composition aspect as well as forcing myself to take my time to get the image right in the camera before I press the shutter. However I am a technology geek and wonder how long I can resist the return to digital temptations.

To summarize why have I switched back to film?
- No more white balance problems. I look at the
slide itself to see the colour that the final
scanned slide should be
- I spend most of my time composing the image and
using my handheld spot meter
- I can produce a very high resolution scan which
can be cropped with little or no loss of resolution
- I just like using the OM4Ti as its a superbly
constructed classic camera
There are some downsides as you would expect:
- You need a decent film scanner
- you need a powerful computer to handle the
large scanned image files
- there is no longer the instant gratification
that you get with digital
- slides are not easy to correctly expose
