I guess that film photography isn't quite dead yet

Check it out. There are more course offerings for film photography than digital photography.

My daughter took three years of film only photography courses in high school, she just graduated last May. It is unfortunately a dying craft and I am very glad that she is probably one of the last of her generation to have experienced it. Her HS had a much better darkroom setup than we had when I took photography in college.

Aside from developing, photography is photography. Composition and lighting does not recognize digital or film. I have been actually buying quite a bit of film gear lately; medium format no less.

Learn to expose for transparency film and digital is breeze.

film will never die although it will get relegated to historical process

My nephew, the Graphic Artist, has recently sold all his digital equipment and went to 35mm.
I was bit shocked but he's enjoying it so that's all that matters.

My photography experience in college was pretty lousy. The instructor was this old horn dog who never gave a pretty girl a bad grade. Sad. I remember one of our assignments was night shooting. The ONLY rule was that you could NOT use a flash. You just had to take long exposures.

On critique day, everyone files in and posts up their pics. This one girl, about half way down the row had obviously used a flash for hers. I mean, I had been in class for half a semester and I could tell she used a flash. Me and some students around me kind of chuckled b/c we KNEW that the instructor (who was also a hard ass) was going to chew her out. Well he gets to her pics and he just starts gushing about how great they are. We just stared at one another. It was really pathetic.

You have to look at CRC campus where they have a super new digital facility...

I took B&W photography at a nearby Community College. Got to know the instructor VERY well. She was a bit older than me. I learned a lot.

I love the rituals, sights and sounds that go with film. The loading, the whirl of film advance and that long rewind. If manual the cocking of the shutter almost feels like lock and load. I read somewhere that you need 25MP to get the resolution of film. Add to that the price you have to pay for a full frame digital for a fair comparison. Of course, you can't beat the immediacy of digital.
