The light meter is what is considering the camera to be analog because it is an analog device. Film photography seems to be long forgotten because of digital, as shown where the kids didn’t even know what to do with a film camera and actual film. There are many though that still shoot film and are still keeping it alive. For instance Hollywood is stilling using film for some of its movies. There is still film being made and places to process it. There’s Lomography and Impossible Film that are still making cameras and film. There were physical photo albums to sit and enjoy all the images shot from a film camera, good photos and the bad they all existed in print. Film is more forgiving and things could be fixed to an image in the darkroom easily. Shooting film requires patience slowing your process down and focusing on what you truly want to take. You’re thinking more because you only have so many shots to take. You forever have these photos because if you lose the physical print another can simply be made from the negative. There is also the argument that film just looks better, a digital photo can’t truly achieve what film can. Film cameras have recently become inexpensive. Meaning that it’s simple to get your hands on one and grab some film to start shooting high quality images. It’s crazy to see how many are now using the Instax Film Cameras. Fujifilm “sold 5 million of its instant cameras …show more content…
Why? Because it’s instant photography where you can see the image you captured on the screen seconds after taking it. You can make the decision to either keep the image or delete it and keep shooting. The images are stored on a memory card, which is reusable unlike film. This makes it cheaper because you don’t need to buy film each time that you want to take an image. The images can be quickly edited in Photoshop. Digital has frankly become more convenient. Digital sensors only have a single sensitivity unlike film. Meaning that changing the ISO on a digital camera only creates more noise and creates a weak signal. There is no perfect exposure for a photo; instead it’s an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Richard Butler of DPReview wrote, “once captured, the signal-to-noise ratio of any tone can’t be improved upon. It can get worse as electronic noise is added, but if you try boosting or pushing the signal, you end up boosting the noise by the same amount and the ratio stays the same. This is why your initial exposure is so important.” Larger pixels don’t mean that the image will have better quality. In low light situations this is true but not for anything else. In those cases you would want your image of brighter scenes to have smaller pixels for a better image
