Film!

...you try and recharge a laptop in Yellowstone

Why would he want to charge a laptop in Yellowstone, he would have probably preferred to do his editing in the comfort of his own home, probably much the same way as he developed his negatives. I somehow don't think he took a darkroom on location with him ----

Oh dear, another dreary discussion on film V digital. I reckon you all need to get away from the computer and take some photos, using either option, and get on with photography. Ansel lived before digital, as did a lot of great artists, comparing their equipment to that used today reminds me a lot of Freud.

Rick it might seem dreary to you, but clearly it's not to others.
Carry on people, I was entertained.

I was just lamenting this repeated comparison. They are two different mediums and i reckon the pro's and cons of both have been done to death over the years, that's all. They are different, but one is not better than the other.

Yep, I have never ever decried the use of film as a medium to capture images and I certainly don't see why anyone could ever complain about their choice.
Likewise, to those that say that is better in this day and age than digital, I really think that the time has come to recognise it as an equal.

rick, i agree with the statment that we should be out taking photos but i also think people will always compare the two formats and i dont mind talking about the differences, I also enjoy showing my film cameras to people when out shooting, it is amazing how many people have never seen a large format camera and want to have a look through the glass.

I actually took my 4x5 camera out into the city (Melbourne) 2 weeks ago, and some Japanese tourists wanted to take a photo

Love my film, as much as I love my vinyl records, and my valve preamplifier

Actually just had my first go at some stand development with some Efke 50 in Rodinal. Let's face it, film is fun.
