For me, photography is a hobby. As I said in the other photography thread, I primarily shoot objects in various degrees of shadow, and mostly with Tri-X 35 mm. I develop my own film and enlarge my own prints. You cannot produce true black-and-white photographs with digital, and you never will, which is why I am disdainful of the medium. As I had previously stated, I do own a Powershot A530, but it is, at best, a secondary camera, best used in settings when a quick set-up is required. It is convenient, but lacks the warmth and texture of film.
