Personally I’ve started dabbling into film photography because I think the process is neat. I still take my digital camera with me when I take my film camera though as I’d hate to miss the shot while I’m still learning film
I started with digital and I feel that it’s been a great way to learn photography because unlike film the turn around for finding out if the pictures look bad is really fast
Your second point is true. I’ve only ever shot film and it took a long time for me to be “good” at taking photos. It’s a long process but very rewarding too!
That’s just human behavior tho. If something is harder to obtain it gains in value. I don’t think Michelangelo‘s David would be as well known if he had 3D Printed him.
Not saying it makes sense, just saying that seems to be how our brain functions.
Honestly my pet peeve is people acting like I’m supposed to treat Instagram as a gallery and not as a study.
Who said I thought it was art just because I posted it and it’s film? Why is it “funny” that others in the same hobby enjoy seeing it?
Comments like this honestly just come off as bitter. I feel like you’re in the camp of people who bought a Sony a7iii and then never post anything anywhere and then complain that “photography is dead” or something, despite them choosing not to participate in an active community out of fear of not being seen as an “artist” for 0.001 seconds
IG is currently filled with this. Like very bad photos shot on film getting some hype cause it was shot on film. Quite funny
Right and like your iPhone is free. People really spent $$ on film, developing and scanning for objectively bad pictures
You have to take a few bad ones in the beginning to start taking good ones.

Reddit is also filled with this.

If someone managed to 3D print a thing that big, it would be known just for that.
