I think this has always been a tough one for me to decide between and choose from. For years I exclusively shot film and still think in most regards to myself and my 'photo style' film is superior despite its ever risings costs & fail ratios that are far higher than digital.
It's been odd though I think the last month or so my Sony A7iii has really grown on me. wether thats through my different use of both on camera and off camera flashes. Or that my ability to edit digital has improved over time as well. I think after 10 years of shooting my 10,000 hours in that regard of actually 'using' a camera in most senses is there and my understanding of its variations and variables I am confident in my ability in.
I guess now my next 20,000 hours lie in, lighting, editing and maybe direction which in turn will enhance my imagery and skillset further. Its been nice to be almost 'learning something new' in a sense and that digital isn't as shit as I said it was a year ago hahahaha
I don't think I'll ever stop shooting film as it will always have a place for me in any scenario, but for jobs like test shoots, lighting tests and unpaid jobs digital is great way to work and significantly curve the incurred costs that film hold in that sense. But I guess thats something I gauge on whats worth using film on and what isn't.
Anyways just some thoughts for the ether. Laters.
