Beautiful. Especially the middle one, the way the lightness of the lower fence matches the white of the sky, and the darkness of the upper fence matches the dark ground.
I haven't been online in several days. What a nice surprise.
re: digital cinematography. I guess I need to see that Costa film, because I feel like I've only ever seen digital trying to be film. Or, at least, I've always thought the image would've been better on film. I know when I shoot with digital I always wish it was film.
It's easy for me to get uptight about these kinds of things. To fight against digital though is probably to fight a losing battle.
The main problem with digital though, for me, more than image quality, is that it's too easy. It's so easy to record on a digital camera that I end up being careless, and not putting the effort into the composition/lighting that I ought to. Or I just do what's easy, like shoot what's in front of me rather than going out of my way to do something intentional.
But I guess that's my problem, not digital cameras.
I'm awfully glad this corner of the internet exists. -Matthew
I appreciate what you are saying about the problems with digital and I think I agree with you. There are only a handful of films that I've seen that are the exception to the rule and I think that makes them very interesting.
As far as using film or digital, I don't know yet what I would choose. I don't know if I have the same perspective as a Pedro Costa, I don't know if I could make it work for me or not. It's difficult when you make it a moral issue, but I sort of think it is one.
There's also the issue of cost for someone like me and that might win out in the end.
