Let us know how you find it. I'll be doing it again at some point because it's a great exercise but probably not too often.

Great exercise, Craig. I'm going to try this over the weekend. I'm interested to see my results. I haven't shot film since my newspaper days. I wouldn't want to go back to that, but it might be fun to play with. All my film bodies are still in Canada.

I've never been of the school of thought that film has some kind of soul that digital lacks. To me, there's no real difference between a carefully exposed shot on film or on digital – honestly if you put two prints in front of me I probably couldn't tell the difference between which was film and which digital.

That's an interesting idea, and you hit the right spot for me – I also 'play' with the idea to go “film”, only in my case, I won't settle for black ribbon, I want the real deal
Digital frames just lack that… soul?… film results got.

Thanks Darren. I haven't shot film in years – I don't have the time, patience or money to have everything drum-scanned. Particularly for editorial clients who are increasingly only accepting digital submission, 35mm film would just create a lot of extra work for myself.

Nice photos and write up. I especially liked the first. I understand what you are saying about seeing slides on for the first time too, though any film I shoot nowadays is b&w.
