The Life AnalogAs you've probably noticed, I've fallen back in love with film. More, I've discovered the wonder of manual rangefinder photography. The RF encourages a style that is loose and gritty and very much in the moment. Something felt missing with my digital camera. I find that the film photos have depth, warmth, and soul. And shooting with a mechanical/manual camera is sharpening my skills at judging not only the right exposure for a given location; but makes me keenly aware of the quality of light. When I do grab my DSLR, I find that my compositional skills have improved; in part because the camera is making the exposure decisions that I have been managing myself these past couple months. I find that I am faster on the DSLR.
That said, the use of my digital camera is rare lately. I find that the quirky, antiquated look of my rangefinder puts my portrait subjects at-ease just as the big DSLR can put some people on-edge.
Please join me as I explore the aspects of different film and as I grow in this new (old) analog direction.
Steve.
