Well to me what’s commonly referred to as the hybrid approach – shooting film, but post process and print digitally – offers the best of both worlds. Why not simply shoot digital if you want the images in your computer, right? A word on a hybrid workflowĪ reaction to scanning film I’ve heard more than once is to question the need for it. But there’s one piece of the puzzle I’ve felt lacking – the scans. The more considered shooting approach, the look of film, and the great tools has made the experience delightful. I’ve shot medium format at a snails pace for years, but returning to 35mm film has really got me enthusiastic for film again. Now a finished original – ready to be printed, backed up and shared in an instant to friends and family across the globe.Īs of late I’ve been enjoying a return to shooting more film. With a few preset commands contrast is increased, sharpening applied, and exposure balanced. Low contrast and fuzzy the photo doesn't exactly look appealing. The moment that had been preserved on the piece of silver and gelatin is now displayed on my laptop. The screen flickers and an image gradually appears.

The black box at my side gives of a mechanical moan.
