POST 3: Another Freestyle Writing

Hi everybody.

Today i'm going to write you about analog photography, and i'll tell you why is analog photography great even when the digital has some many resources to make some good works.

Well, i buy a Zenit DF-300x analog camera like seven months ago. It is a russian model. And i was happy to buy it like $80.000 chilean pesos because it cost like $130.000 in camera stores. The girl who sell me the camera was in Iquique when she buy it very cheap.

So both of us win with the money savings, jeje. Since i got the camera i buy the first roll, so i start very soon taking pictures. I have like six rolls develop and i use my camera to refine my eye with the frame composition.

Having an analog camera is something great because you can think about the sacred of the frame you got. The roll that i use let's you to take 36 pictures. And if you think that, the digital cameras let you to take infinite pictures anytime you want. So taking pictures in analog format becomes in something sacred because you don't want to spend your frames in any thing. You give it time, and you wait to the perfect moment that you can take THAT picture you want.

The digital format is something better, i know, because it has so many improvements from the lens, the sensor until the quality. But it has something that is necessary to think.

I say that because i think that digital format makes you lost the care of the composition and the sacred of the moment that you are seeing. One day i met and old man that told me he shoot in 16mm film and it was difficult because you got to plan all the takes and you can't spend any frame of film. So when he go i start to thinking in that and i realize that he was pretty right.

That's why analog format is great. Think of it.

  1. Wow, how magical to have an analog camera. It must be very difficult to make the decision at the time of capture, because, of course, there is no room for error. But, at the same time, the result must be beautiful.
