This is where I would still find a "like" useful!But it cannot compete with Analogue!
Who really cares who or what is done to make the end product that they are offering. My end offering is a print which has been done without outside assistance apart from them making the materials I use. Very much the same as a bricklayer uses someone else's sand, cement and bricks but his expertise at putting them together to make a wall etc.
But it cannot compete with Analogue!
Do they have white sticks?

I suspect reading an internet forum about black & white photography means we are all fairly 'special' to start with !Digital photographers 'more boring' than film photographers, survey shows
Toad News Archive: Film photographers were traditionally dull, but digital takes it to an all new level, says leaked survey. Leica owners equally tedious, irrespective.
The digital photography revolution has been celebrated across the known universe as the most significant development since the advent of 35mm film. But is it all good news? A recent survey has shown that amateur photographers have become much more boring since the introduction of Digital, and are in risk of alienating their friends, family and partners. And even, in some cases, may hasten their own death due to the homicidal action of a partner for whom 'enough is enough'.
The survey, compiled by the Leading Photography Magazine Shutterbore gave a random set of Amateur Photographers certain questions, such as: 'Is your Camera the best one there is?' or 'Nikon Vs Canon?' and even: "does the brand of SD card actually matter?'. The adjudicators then timed the barrage of weakly argued facts and semi-truths until the photographer ran out of steam or fainted. These results were then compared to a similar study carried out in 1983, and the differences analysed.
"We were astonished at the results," explained Mr Kogaku, "not only by the range of technical subjects in which Amateur Photographers felt able to commit an opinion, but the length at which they could do so, and the breezy self assurance that the subject was too technical for anyone to challenge. In most cases it was irrelevant nonsense and on several occasions the researchers had to be restrained from physically attacking the subjects with strangled cries of: 'no more, I can't stand listening to gamma curve analysis any longer - my ears are bleeding, help, help'."
The results were found to be heavily in favour of digital photographers being more boring, and for the very simple reason that there was far more to be boring about, although Large Format film photographers could still get pretty ******* tedious when talking about lens movements, Ilford Vs Kodak and the benefits of stand development in Rodinal. (Which I’m not at all convinced about)...

That was really funny, personally I hate talking about cameras another forum I am on talks endlessly about kit and leicas - really puts me off posting there. I like trying new things and ideas, both with film and digital, there is a lot to be said for both. Most hobbies are full of boring people I just accept that no doubt I am one of them.....Digital photographers 'more boring' than film photographers, survey shows
