35mm Cameras and Digital Camera Photography
By Cedric B Georges
Digital camera photography is the industry leader and
now film is only developed in very few places, usually
in professional photography labs.
The local film kiosk that was on a street corner waiting
for your film has disappeared, replaced by digital cameras
and computers.
A digital camera is used for most of the pictures I
take, but I still keep my 35mm film camera handy. Digital
has taken over, but there is still something to be said
for using film in some cases.
My daughter likes to take pictures just like I do,
but I don’t trust her with my expensive digital
camera. When she wants to take some photos, I give her
my 35mm and she can snap away to her hearts content.
Long Lasting Camera
My 35mm film camera was not an expensive one, but it
was great for a very long time. It still takes fantastic
pictures even though I’ve had it for more than
ten years.
Someone I used to know worked in a photography shop,
and a customer had brought in his 35mm to be fixed.
The customer decided they didn’t want it any longer
and bought something else. They told my friend to just
throw away the 35mm camera, but instead he gave it to
me. It was fully automated and a great little camera.
All it needed was a new belt somewhere and it has worked
great ever since.
35mm Cameras Are Tough
This 35mm film camera has been on a lot of adventures
with me, and has even survived being dropped to the
floor. Luckily one of my friends had her toe in the
way when it dropped, sparing my poor 35mm camera for
sustaining any damage.
There have been other times when it was dropped, shook
up, and jarred around, but the thing just keeps on working.
Perhaps there is a little Energizer bunny inside. It
still winds, snaps, and opens and closes perfectly.
It has less electronics, so it can survive in rugged
conditions.
Handy As A Second Camera
If you have a 35mm and are going to get a digital camera,
make sure you review your options and hang on to the
film camera. You never know when you may need it, and
you may want to have a back up camera incase your digital
battery goes dead at a very bad time.
I have had to use my 35mm camera in a few moments
when I really wanted to take a picture but my digital
decided it was time to shut off. It is always great
for kids who want to take pictures but haven’t
learned how to handle an expensive digital.
Film is still a good deal, and sometimes you might
prefer the look of film verses a digital print anyway.
A lot of professional photographers still stand by
film cameras and often use both digital and film for
professional projects. So do as the pros do! Although,
these days it is getting more difficult to find quality
film for your 35mm film camera.

More Photography Facts....
The average cost of wedding photography is around $3000
and the amount climbs from there. Many couples want
a variety of choices when it comes to capturing their
special day on paper or video. The photography field
is expanding at an exponential rate thanks to better
digital cameras that are easier to use than cameras
in the past.
It is not just portraits of blushing brides or smiling
babies either. Photojournalism and stock photographs
are in high demand as well.
If given the choice, most people would prefer to have
an occupation that they love. If you think back to childhood,
you can remember the all important question "What
do you want to be when you grow up?"
