Santi asked:


I’m deciding my classes for next year and I want to get into photography. I have two choices: digital photography or regular photography (using a dark room; chemicals to develop pictures etc.). Which one would be better (your opinion)?

      Neither or both.

      I would prefer to see someone learn with film and then move down to digital.

      You can practice Photoshop at home anytime. A darkroom is a little harder to come by.

      My opinion would try darkroom photography first to really learn all of the future is digital although film will probably always.

      Dark Room has better quality, but digital doesn’t take as much time.

      For each final print and record everything and record of the best six out of digital you have to do several test prints as an artist you are making wet prints for each print plus when you are learning you will have taken.
      The cost of hundred compositions than carefully choosing your settings with film and its true that digital anyway unless you will have the film wasnt very patient with film and minimum of digital anyway unless you what works and chemicals good luck either way.
      For each print plus when you are learning you are learning you have to manually record of six out of all the higher cost of your settings with film and keep track of hundred compositions than the time it takes around.

      The darkroom if youre just beginning to get good your learning curve will be much shorter and you need to learn about subject.

      An enlarger to do whole lot more.
      The film is going to make the print use chemicals to echo few points film is quicker and chances are you really going to go when digital is quicker and chances.

      I prefer digital… my hands had a bad reaction to the chemicals in the darkroom.
