Learning to Develop Film?

Submitted by Visual Forgery on Friday, 7 November 2008No Comment

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re using a digital SLR, and here you are reading about developing film?! I know it doesn’t go together, but if you really want to be into the whole photography thing, you  should really know how to do it. It’s the good ol’ traditional way of photography – it’s not even hard either!

We won’t go into developing film into this post, but lets just check out this quick clip of one or two of the benefits of developing your own photos in a darkroom:

Oh, and here are some comparisons between the film and the digital cameras:

Film

  • Better at capturing detail in whites and blacks
  • More forgiving of minor focusing issues
  • More forgiving of exposure problems
  • Film is still higher resolution
  • Cameras are generally heavier
  • Film can take up a lot of space
  • Film is a continuing cost
  • Film must be developed before viewing
  • Unless you have a darkroom, you are dependent on the lab to edit your images

    • Digital

  • Can easily lose detail in whites and blacks
  • 10 Megapixels is high enough resolution for very large prints
  • Cameras are generally lighter
  • Memory cards are small
  • Images can be viewed immediately
  • You can edit your images
  • Only print the images you like
  • Many cameras have built-in filters
  • One memory card can store more images than a dozen rolls of film

    • So there we have it, but in the end, digital and film both take quality images. The real difference in them is what best fits your photographic style and budget.
