Re: I've just bought a Canon!!!!

I just fail to see why the courses still teach about film cameras, its like living in the dark ages, things move on and these courses should move on as well. What is the point of teaching about using a film camera when no company makes the cameras anymore and very few produce film anyway.

Bazza, what is wrong with learning film? It is how photgraphy started, and TBH a lot of the photographers still use film I love film, I developed my very first pics this week at college, and I loved it! Need loads more practise in the dark room, but it is amazing. A lot of people do believe that film is better Each to their own, I am loving it

Film photography is only part of the course, in fact a small part. It is mostly digital and then post processing digitally.Building a portfolio etc. I am learning so much learning film, it has totally changed the way I take shots already with my Oly, as I am thinking and not just clicking.

Companies do make film cameras still Bazza, and film is dead easy to buy.

Re: I've just bought a Canon!!!!

Bazza why knock something that someone is so obviously enjoying.

Dont you think thats a bit mean.

I say well done moon for giving it a shot.

and Bazza saying that film is over and out so dont bother with it is just ridiculous.

thats like saying dont do history lessons at school cause its over and done with.

sorry for the rant but Bazza does knock things quite a lot.
