The holy war
As the film gets closer to be named a rare species, more and more curious photo beginners step onto this ground and become zealous supporters of the idea that film has more “spirit” that digital.
I’m no adept of the infamous Film vs. Digital battles, I love my 5d, but still, have a look at these:
Both pictures are not pretty artistic, but to me, the difference is quite obvious. The one above is shot with an Olympus Stylus Epic DLX (aka mjuII) film point&shoot camera with panorama feature, using Kodak Ektachrome film.
The one below I made with Canon 5d at the same place and basically in the same lighting conditions. And, as you might have already guessed, I like it significantly less than the first photo. It’s just a good picture about a guy jumping in water (which, however, looks better in digital), and the film picture looks like it has a whole story behind it.
To study this phenomenon, I’m simply going to buy a Canon film SLR body and compare the results. Not sure, which one I should prefer yet, any suggestions?
