Large format fantasy

Remains of a wall that I like to think is from the Viking days. But, who knows. It sat on the shoreline on a quiet part of the Icelandic coast. Weather was overcast and somewhat drizzly. Lighting was subtle and very conducive for textural shots like this one. For several years I considered a move to Medium format. Based on what? I always appreciated the fine detail from having such a huge negative. A large print of a beautiful image might justify an investment in MF - if it was done over and over. The above image was from a Nikon D800. There probably remains a discernible difference between film and digital in highlight roll-off to someone with a lot of knowledge and experience in film photography. Which is another factor that drew me towards going back to film and the larger formats in particular. Alas, even many photo journalists and critics can tell the difference between film and digital now. And if you’ve become a half decent editor with the software that’s available now the differences and advantages have slowly dwindled so much as to become a matter of artistic choice… and convenience.
