dunno maybe my girlfriend wants to keep an actual object and memento of the visit, rather than a phone she'll replace in 6 months, or a file on a computer somewhere. also the pixel count hardly counts for shit, does it? she has like a £1k DSLR that she could have taken, but you know what? she hasn't used it in like 3 years. digital photos - hi-def, low-soul. not everyone wants to take high-detail shots of flowers or the same stock HDR landscapes. zomg film lacks the megapixels omfgwtf, but film also creates much more interesting lighting and colour palettes. the modern world: choice. isn't it brilliant?

... but yeah i'm a hipster cause of the choice of photography equipment my girlfriend chooses to use. gg.

cheer up finlay... not everyone can get a hottie with hobbies. there's always that girl with braces from shifty's family photo.

actually i have the exact same vantage taken on my iphone (cause i don't use film cameras, they're complicated). i'll upload it.

here's the exact same vantage, exact same moment, taken on my iphone. with hdr.



it looks flat and shit. even if it is more detailed. wow. digital photography - even on nice DSLR's - has a habit of flattening everything. ever get that effect where you walk into a restaurant or food-joint and all the menus are done in full-colour real-photography? the food looks gross. it's the same effect, for me. nice view? oh great, here's a bunch of flat pixels.

and no, finlay, no. when you develop film, it costs like £1 extra to ALSO have a digital data CD made up for you. not any effort at all. this way, she gets a nice photo album full of her university/relationship memories, and she has the digital scans for whatever online use she has. winning!!!111111 pass the 7 gram rock.

well for someone who has a 1k dslr she can't shoot for shit. White balanced is off, focus is terrible, those pictures aren't even level.

no, she's obviously doing it to be a hipster.

I'm sure you could better, on what I'm assuming is a totally manual camera. As in you have to do more than just press a button.

Too bad they don't stay that small. Would make a cool house pet.

Why the fuck does every single fucking tourist have to take the same fucking picture on the same fucking steps on fucking montmartre. Fucking get in the way every fucking morning on my fucking walk to the fucking boulangerie.

Seriously though, I never understood it. Much better shot on the other side.

because our hotel was exactly on the other side, facing the basilica. like, literally. the rue lamarck. i probably ate from your boulangerie though. good stuff.

but sorry bro, i bet when you come to london you'll stay away from every single sight. you'll just hang out in morden, right? swapping out westminster palace for the world's end estate or something, cause you just can't staaaaand doing what other people do. cause you're a real true authentic tourist. and people are calling me a hipster? i don't know why you're pissed about tourists, anyway... paris is a shrinking and dying city. you need all the tourists you can get, ya fucking chump.

oh and the reason the colour balance and detail on that photo of me sucks is clearly because the film camera being used is a point-and-shoot £3 disposable camera. if you can't tell the difference between proper film and cheap disposable film, you clearly shouldn't be giving out photography advice like it's your own fucking personal /r/photography subreddit. my girlfriend prefers film, and does all of her photography on disposables (on nights/days out), or proper film cameras. i don't know why i have to defend her decision by proxy. nor how it makes me a 'hipster' to be photographed by it. sounds like someone is jelly. is it cause i'm too sexy and it makes u mad? i took a bunch of boring iphone shots anyway, just to keep up with your 'newest is bestest' doctrine. i've barely looked at them since i got back. science

p.s. TSI your city smells like urine and shit. you filthy french fucking animals should stop excreting in your own metro.
