What ever happened to the characteristics of the wonderful moody landscape film photographs with dark shadows and uninhibited highlights? Characteristics that seem to have gotten lost in modern digital photography’s “dynamic range” obsession and camera company marketing spin where it’s all about detail in highlights and shadows, and nothing about the heart and soul, or mood of the final output.
I’m not getting into the “which is better” debate which has been done to death, but why does my eye continually get drawn straight to the film photographs I see, while largely ignoring the shadowless, highlightless, over processed, extremely detailed “epic” scenes of grandeur?
Modern digital landscape photography and it’s obsession with DR and over processing is boring and clinical!
In many ways, film is better....
