You Judge—Slug Set over the Connecticut—Film versus Digital.

Below is a comparison between two photos; one exposed digitally and one made with film. (Hint: click on Tracking the Light to see both).

I made these the other day of Pan Am’s hump engine working on the Connecticut River Bridge at East Deerfield, Massachusetts.

I won’t bore you with excessive detail, but one was made as a black & white image with a digital camera . The other was exposed in a traditional manner on black & white film, processed chemically and then scanned and scaled.

Number 1
Number 1.
Number 2.
Number 2.

So: which image do you prefer? (number one or number two).

Oh, and by the way, it is up to you to decide which was made with film and which was not.

Tracking the Light has new concepts daily.
