Still 64 degrees in here. Walking out of the room and twenty feet down the hall actually feels great.

Forgot that I bought Tapatalk last year. It's turned into a nifty little app.

Film is terrible.

Want to see the shot you just took? Guess what - not happening within the next hour. At minimum.

Think the shot was great? Guess what - you won't know otherwise until too late.

Think the shot was terrible? Go ahead, take another - you only have about 24 though before reloading.

Want to edit your picture afterwards? Haha, have fun.

How many rolls of film do you have? Twenty? Thirty? Well, that's an expensive amount of film, and worse, very expensive to get it all developed. But even in the immediate event, you are still carrying those thirty rolls, and that gives you all of 750 shots or so. You know how many a 16/32GB Class 6/10 SDHC can hold? I forget, but even for RAW, it's a lot. And you can carry thirty SDHC cards in your hip pocket, unlikely thirty rolls of film, which would need half a backpack by themselves. And sure, the SDHC costs a lot to buy it... but then you can use it. For a million shots.

Film is obsolete, archaic, outdated, antique, outmoded, and obnoxious.

P.S. Oh hell yes I am proud of that last sentence. :awe:

You can't think of art as if it were a product of technology. The beauty of film really shines when you look at the cameras. Each camera changes the way the pictures look, dramatically. The film it's self adds grain. Not noise like digital, grain is something people spend thousands of dollars on trying to reproduce in the digital field.

I'v been enjoying it on my iPhone 4. iOS 5 beta does mess it up a bit if you go in too deep but if you rotate the screen it resets it back.

Damn betas!

Ech, art. Grain is noise, noise is aberrations making a less than perfect reproduction of what is actually seen. But okay, you're chasing the art look. That explains the film interest.
