Why You Should Try Film Photography in 2023 (a digital photographer's perspective)

Film photography is making a comeback in recent years, and for good reason. There are lots of reasons to shoot film, including:
A unique aesthetic: Film has a distinctive look that cannot fully be replicated by digital cameras. The colors, the grain, and the built in vibe.
A more mindful process: Shooting film forces you to slow down a little bit and be more deliberate with your shots. You have to think about your composition, your exposure, and your filmstock choice vs making some of those decisions in post.
A sense of nostalgia: Shooting film that is more analog, tactile, and old-fashioned. It can be a fun way to connect with the past and to appreciate the history of photography (as well as the memories you make with your film camera).
If you're thinking about trying film photography, this video is for you. I'll talk about my experience with my Nikon Tele Touch 300AF, different types of film, and how I got started. I'll also share some of my own tips and tricks for shooting film (with a couple of digi tips thrown in there too).
So what are you waiting for? Give film photography a try in 2023!

Hi ya.
You made some good points in this video that I am sure will send people down the path of trying film. Shooting with film is a more tactile process, especially if you involve yourself with printing.

@@colingerard7863 printing photos is such a cool part of the photography process. I’ve never done the scanning or developing myself but it might be something I try eventually to go from start to finish.

Hi ya.
Go even more old school and use find a lab with enlargers, make paper contact sheets, and best of all watching your pictures come through on the paper in dev trays. The analogy is it's like watching your children being born :-)
Warning: This can quickly lead on to buying a Mamyia 6 or Manyia 7 :-)))
