Mike,
This is not meant to criticize, I respect and enjoy your work, I
cartainly do, but I get the feeling that the digital shots just
don't have that "snap" that the film shots do. I do hate to do
comparisons on a computer monitor, but... The bokeh, color, and
saturation all are much better in the film shots. Digital is
improving, and getting closer and closer, but it's not there just
yet. Just my two cents...
Best,
George S.
Unless you see side by side examples it is hard to tell. Long Beach,
as you can tell from the name, is a coastal city and our May-June
overcast kicked in early this year. If you look carefully at the
pics there are no shadows. Lack of contrast or "snap" in this case
is not due to the equipment. Most of the film shots we saw earlier
from Mike were from Texas, I believe, with sunshine. That said, I
like film too.
Bokeh is a function of lens design, I believe, and doesn't have to do
with pixels or film.
It may be, as digital gets better, that film response to light will
be dialed in so that the product looks more like film, as some
digital amp manufacturers have dialed in distorted response curves to
emulate "tube sound".
