Aspen Trees - Guanella Pass, Colorado
Got around to scanning some film this evening. This is one of those shots that no scan will ever do justice to. The only way to appreciate its magic is to see it on a light table. It's simply stunning!
Excluding the visual delights of seeing a shot like this on a light table, I think what I love most about shooting film is that it slows me down. I see a lot of people buying the latest digital gear and just blasting away without any conscious thought about why they're shooting.For example, a lot of people shoot this kind of photo in Colorado during the autumn. I've done a lot of shots myself. This is the first one I'm truly satisfied with. And it was taken on a 1963 vintage TLR on expired (but frozen) film. But the slow, methodical workflow of shooting film made me really contemplate what I wanted and this is my reward.
