So the aperture (with 400 film) could be super wide and let everything be in focus.

The photo that most comes to mind is in your "RN" series, "- OH-325/Kocheiser Rd. near Mansfield.", although all the outdoor shots in that and this article look great. That image is sharp throughout its entire depth. The Barn retains it's sharp edges and the distant scenery doesn't look noisy like I see a lot in digital images. The road seems to retain its granularity throughout the length. Granted, you've got good equipment and a lot of practice and I'm comparing to more amateur photos. So, not altogether a fair comparison. I also realize the web resolution is limited so I'm assuming those shots don't get worse with more scrutiny. Still, I can't help but wonder if film might have an adventage in these specific situations, how it handles high-light small-aperture maybe.<br /><br />This is the same Dan! I don't doubt you've met some interesting people, so I'm humbled you remember me. I'll drop a line in your email.Dan Labarowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816945065675377196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-56292302228395779642019-08-05T18:23:17.588-04:002019-08-05T18:23:17.588-04:00Hey, Dan.

I'm 100% right there with you in terms of film—there's something about its look and style that digital just can't quite replicate even with the best of filters. In terms of sharpness, which specific ones are you referring to? I'm lucky in that I acquired a Nikon N80 years with super crisp auto focus. On the others, it's manual focus by hand, but they seem to work relatively well. <br /><br />Will definitely check out the arcade up there. <br /><br />PS Is this the Dan I worked with at Kings Island back in the day?Ronny Salernohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241632636860680868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-1091135572359521832019-08-04T01:09:56.211-04:002019-08-04T01:09:56.211-04:00I'm loving the film work Ronny!

The photos don't have the depth of color or perfect focus that comes with modern digital cameras, I think there must be little cues like this that I pick up on. Having grown up with most of my youthful memories documented on film, I think I associate those cues with positive experiences. Regardless, I just find the film photos pleasant. I have noticed that some of your outdoor scenery photos seem to have really consistently sharp focus across the image. I'm wondering if that's a property of the film or just the result of using a tripod?<br /><br />Next time you're back in Cleveland, be sure to check out The Arcade! It would make a great photo spot!Dan Labarowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816945065675377196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-84077360225900258722019-08-04T01:08:37.101-04:002019-08-04T01:08:37.101-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dan Labarowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816945065675377196noreply@blogger.com
