Possibly contentious but, here goes...

I thought this arguement is beaten to death and that was the reason it was in the rules that we should not get ino it. Even though I did not want to be a part of it Battou it makes no sense that you would call film a better learning tool than a medium that has all exif data following every image around. When I was learning (on film) I could only WISH that I had all of the data on how a particular image was made long after it has been made. Exif data has to be the best photography teaching tool that thee has been.

Well honestly I have to agree with this one from Abraxas mostly because of what I have already said. This discussion makes less sense than Canon vs. Nikon. You express youself in whatever way you chose to and to take some kind of elitist position that because you choose to take pictures a certain way you are somehow better than somone else is just moronic or as it has already been put you have your head in a orifice that it does not belong. I know there are alot of photographers out there that shot digitally that would not agree with you about shooting crap and fixing it later. And you know what they can probably prove it with images unlike you have done here. I have no problem with anyone using any medium they choose to expres themselves but you need to not try and say you are somehow superior because of how you choose to capture your images. Honestly if I wanted to get into this I could suggest you are living in the past and clinging to a dying medium because you cant figure out how to use the modern technology but I think even having this discussion is pretty stupid on it's face and if you look at my other posts against the forum rules so I will stay out of it. Oh yeah one more thing add my name to the calls to the mods to close this discussion for breaking the rules of the forum.
