I did amend my post to credit you with that comment buddy just before you posted that I think

Marcos point is that if you found a way to programme a computer to use those tools to make an equally beautiful peice of furniture that peice of furniture wouldnt have the same soul ... An argument that I can see has weight ...
The counter argument is that there still has to be a human with artistic vision to tell Te computer how to fashion that same peice of furniture ...
... The problem is that in many peoples POV the involvement of computers of technology removes the soul ...

I just see the computer as another type of tool ... Whxih is my point ... Soul is in the human ... Not in the tools ... Whatever the tools may be!

Absolutely, we can all buy a paint palette, paints and brushes....... but can we paint and create what people would consider works of art?

Photography is a creative art no matter what tools you use to get you to the end product . . .

Exactamundo... That's what I have been saying all along!

Lol - calm down, dear!

I do understand that, but I'm not debating this subject with you any further, as the discussion will only go round and round (and ROUND) in circles...

Therefore, these are my final comments:

Regardless of what you say about the creativity of digital photography, I vastly prefer the results with film - and when examining both, I can tell the difference fairly easily between them.

Sorry, I prefer Shaun's images, taken with film, to any images you've posted so far (as good as they are) using digital photography.

I still consider that digital photography is more for convenience than quality. I'm not interested in what's 'easy' - only in what is the absolute best! Quality must ALWAYS come first! And that principle applies to almost everything in my life.

Ok, that's it from me on this thread. Cheery-bye now, shweety

Marco.

If film photography ultimately gives a photographer more scope to express his or her artistic talent, via the developing process in the dark room, and understanding chemistry, then artistic creativity is ultimately only limited by one's imagination, which is limitless compared to any computer software....

Well i had a very simular argument regarding my dislikes for Drum machines over real drum kits & why i disapproved of the DM

Do you consider “Avatar” a great movie? Have a look at Fellini’s “La strada”, it was shot entirely on celluloid in 1954. Image resolution may be higher in “Avatar”, but guess which movie has more impact on the viewer’s soul.

Nah, avatar is pants ... Ironically, concidering my argument as a whole ... Souless shite ... But that's the overly simple story as much as anything else

One of my favourite directors if not my favourite is michel gondry ... A director who seems to avoid computers for special effects ... Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is probably my favourite film
