\"Exposed<\/a>
Exposed on Fuji Provia 100F using a Canon EOS-3 with 40mm pancake lens. Exposure calculated with the aid of a hand held Minolta Mark IV light meter. And yes, I hiked all the way around the head with all that equipment including my digital cameras.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why film? A few weeks back, I posted some views I exposed digitally of locomotive 461 emerging from the sea mist at Bray Head. See: Steam, Diesel and Electric at Bray Head on Easter Monday<\/a>.
\nThis was Railway Preservation Society of Ireland\u2019s annual Dublin-Wicklow Easter Eggspress, <\/em>which ran on Easter Monday, April 6, 2015.<\/p>\n

I wrote in my earlier posting:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Despite clear skies and warm spring weather, wafting sea fog made for challenging photographic conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Shortly before locomotive 461 emerged from the tunnels near Brandy Hole, a cloud of fog rose to add a bit of atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The mix of stunning scenery, wafting fog and bright sun made for a spectacular backdrop for the annual special.<\/span><\/p>\n

While I made a sequence of digital photos with my Fujifilm X-T1. I was also poised with my Canon EOS 3 with 40mm pancake lens loaded with Provia 100F (color slide film). I reserved film for the most dramatic angles. Last week the slides were returned from the processing lab (Dwayne\u2019s Photo in Parsons, Kansas see:\u00a0www.dwaynesphoto<\/strong>.com\/<\/a>) and I\u2019ve scanned the slides for presentation here.<\/p>\n

As the photographer, I feel that these images are the best of my morning\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n

Some people may ask, \u2018If you have a digital camera, why do you still <\/em>use film?\u2019, others may inquire, \u2018If you have a perfectly good film camera, why did buy an expensive new digital camera?\u2019<\/p>\n

Each mode of making photos has its strengths and weaknesses. I routinely exposed photos both using\u00a0film cameras and digitally.<\/p>\n

When I get a really nice scene on a bright sunny day, I often put it on film (and I may exposed a digital image as well). In that way I get the best of both worlds. I can\u2019t think of a good reason why film and digital photograph should be mutually exclusive, especially since they complement each other nicely.<\/p>\n

My color slides from April 6, 2015 are now also digital images, thanks to my Epson V600. If we have a slide show, I\u2019ll project the slides the old fashioned way.<\/p>\n
