Switching from Digital to Film for Landscape Photography

January 29, 2020

Welcome to Episode 145 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.

This week's episode features a large and medium format film photographer from western Kansas, Michael Strickland.

Michael transitioned from digital to film and hasn't looked back. He was featured in a really interesting Geekwire YouTube video showcasing why he made the switch, which really piqued my interest.

Michael and I covered a wide variety of topics this week, including:

  • Photographing panoramas using film.
  • Photographing the Great Plains.
  • Drum Scanning.
  • Portraying mood and emotion through photography.
  • Platinum Palladium prints.
  • and a lot more...

Over on Patreon this week, Michael gives us some tips on how to get started in film photography. Head over to patreon.com/fstopandlisten for more info on how you can support the podcast and get bonus content at the same time.
