Film vs. Digital Capture
I know this is an old debate, but this is more an observation. I think digital photography is great. It's revolutionizing photography, and makes the sharing and creating of imagery much easier than it ever was. It has changed the way I think about and make photographs. However, I fear the day when I can no longer get film. I recently posted some images from a potato cellar along Hog Hollow Road. Today I've been scanning some film I shot on the same day. I just really prefer the images from film. The film handled an amazing range of contrast and seemed to interpret color a little differently than digital. Anyway, here are some scans from that same day.

New isn't always better...you are right--the film photos show more detail.
Gotta love potato cellars. Film vs. Digital hun? You're right about the picture quality. It's my observation that with digital you end up taking a thousand pics for one. It takes the fun and skill out of setting up for "a" shot.
I really like the one of the inside of the cellar. I like how the film captures the light.
