“the camera can see so much more and I get to look at the images later.”
I get that. I’m just fed up with all of the digital image massaging. I might change my mind.
I saw a news report that film photography was making a comeback.
My son and law takes night sky photos with his digital camera. Quite good.
Even in film in photography they were able to manipulate the images/photographs, but instead of a computer, they did their magic in a darkroom.
Btw, I did film early on, but the huge problem is the exposures have to be so long and it takes high precision tracking to follow an object that long. With digital I take 150 images at say 60 seconds each, and later process them into one image. Tracking or guiding is still critical but much easier taking a bunch of 60 second exposures as opposed to tracking an object for 60 minutes of continuous exposure.
For me film became too expensive to develop. With digital I get it quickly without having to wait for 4 days to get the images back.
Personally, if not for digital cameras, I would have likely pursued other interests.
