It was fascinating. Fast forward close to twenty years and I was having a conversation with a guy who worked in a camera shop, he told me that digital would never replace film cameras. I'd like to talk to him again and see what he thinks now!<br /><br />I love my digital cameras, but I gave my dslr to my son. We went on a day trip and he was taking photos all the time - trying out the new lens. He said he would probably delete them all. Thank goodness we don't have to pay to process them all - or have a dark room in the house!<br />Churn Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060909536864106475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-50224617282055717232013-06-30T22:42:56.775+01:002013-06-30T22:42:56.775+01:00What I like most about digital photography is that...What I like most about digital photography is that you don't have to worry about how many photos you take because there is no film or processing to buy.
