[Konvas] Large format/plate cameras

[Dan Cordle]

"-Only you have to do is learning taking many narrow angle shot of a landscape and than glue these shots together by gigapixel technology.
-There are free plug ins mimic different films at photoshop starting from ektachrome , kodachrome , fuji , polaroid.
Costs free !!!!!!!! 
-You dont have to give your precious money to a junk technology which you will not be able to find film for taking photographs and sell your camera ."
 

I've seen wonderful results from folks who like to use digital cameras to shoot multiple shots of landscapes and stitch them together with PS. I've also seen lovely digital photos that have been made to resemble the results one would get from different kinds of film. I'm very happy for the photographers and hobbyists who choose to create photos that way, so long as it brings them enjoyment and/or income. 

 

Whether I'm paid, or shooting for personal fulfilment, I prefer to shoot with film, even when using the 5x7 format for which there are few films available. I find myself drawn to large format and enjoy the idea of taking fewer photos, and really caring for the ones I do take. When I see the prints, I'm never dissapointed, even if the results are not as exciting as what I was hoping for. Each one contains who I was at the moment the exposure was made, and deserves acceptance. One day, long after my computer has crashed and no one can find a working CD player to view the back up files, a great grandchild of mine will dig through a forgotten trunk and find a bunch of slides that can be held up to the window light. When that happens, he or she will be seeing the same things I saw, and the feeling she gets from the experience will benefit her in some way. I know this is possible, because I had that experience as a child, and can recall the old images taken by my long gone relatives as if I had them in my hands.

 

Allright, I'm done being a sentimentalist for at least a couple of hours. Happy shooting to all!
