While I appreciate many great things in modern digital photography it always draws me back to the soft, atmospheric look of the images of the good old film days – film is not dead! – as we all know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of presets for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<\/a> promising to give you the exact look of your favorite film back in the film days – nevertheless you will never be able to proof it’s exact match – unless you start using film again and compare it – if<\/em> your favorite film is still available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not use those film presets – no one! Is it really necessary to achieve the exact look of a certain film emulsion? Wouldn’t it be enough to simply try to get the look you like most – no matter if it is exactly the one of film A or film B? The main thing is that it suits you – instead of playing brilliantly and loosing at the end. Remember: Develop – and keep your own style! Be creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recent images look similar to those made with Kodachrome 64 long years ago, by the way my favorite slide film! – well maybe a little less red tinted, and of course having a ‘slightly’ desaturated blue sky – I love this atmospheric look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion the process of making a good photographic image takes a lot of inside-out visualization – being capable and having a strong vision of the photograph you want to make even before making it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this kind of slow photography.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
