Film black and white vs digital black and white

[o hey tyler]

By going out of your way to make people think it was film, I meant that you actually said it was film (not talking about whatever PP you did). With no reason to assume that it was some experiment to see if people would think it was film, why would anyone have thought it wasn't when you said right in the first post that it was?

Just saying, the only thing it proved is that if you say something was shot on film, most people aren't going to automatically assume that you're lying.

With the amount of people on this forum that "know film" and can "immediately tell the difference." I was expecting to be called out. I'm not talking about you, btw. I think we both know who I'm talking about.

I basically don't care when people say whether they shot it on film or digitally. I award no points for shooting film. It's not even harder to shoot film now that we've moved on past glass plates, it's just a different way of working. Given that there are as many ways of working as there are people with cameras, at least, it's kind of a moot point.

It does irk me slightly when people claim that they can see the difference, and there's just no way to replicate the look of film etc etc. Whatever, they think they're seeing something and they enjoy it. Why should I pee on their party? Audiophiles think they're hearing something -- they're not, but the fact that they think they are makes them happy, and it legitimately enhances their enjoyment of whatever they like to listen to. More power to them.

Drinking beer enhances my enjoyment of listening to music, and pretty much everything else too. Nobody's going out of their way to tell me that beer drinking doesn't make pictures look better or music sound better, at least not yet. I sure wouldn't like it if they started.

Cool.
But there is a snag; since I switched from national brands to micro breweries my enhancement cost me double. No matter, it's worth it.

The microbrews are OBVIOUSLY worth it.

I mean, there's the warm tones, for one thing. And the soundstage is rendered in true 3-D for another. And then there's the translucency of the shadow tones, there's just no way to reproduce that with Budweiser.

Audiophiles and film buffs are idiots, but microbrew drinkers just have more refined tastes.

Mmmm, single malt...

If I drop a single malt into a microbrew, does that mean it's a really refined boilermaker?

By the way i don't live in Europe, i live in England

 

[o hey tyler]

No joke

No joke

Living in England I would expect that even though you are not part of the EU, you still reside in the continent known as Europe.

Not the same, though. Not to an English person. And those on the Continent too would also likely make the distinction between "English" and "European".

And the UK is part of the EU, but doesn't use the euro.

I didn't realize that English people were so unnecessarily pretentious.
