Since the advent of digital technologies, photography enthusiasts are often divided on the question of which technique is better: analog or digital? The quality of a photograph differs little according to the technology used, but there are some differences in practices, and ultimately uses. One would be tempted to say that digital photography today brings more advantages than film: no more need for film, no more missed photographs, no more worries about storing pictures and negatives, space saving, immediate availability, conservation over time, higher capacity, the medium is unalterable and can cope with many constraints of all kinds (temperature, scratches, ageing), processing and retouching are easy. These are the multiple advantages of the memory card and thus of the digital system. But the quality of a photograph is also determined during its development. Even if an image is of very good quality, its printing will not necessarily be. There are three fundamental parameters that greatly influence the rendering of the development of a digital photograph: the quality of the digital image (definition, colour rendering), the transfer technology chosen (a personal printer, a laboratory), the quality of the paper used. Generally the photographs are printed at home, with a simple printer, the paper rendering is then less good than the digital image. The development of an analog photograph is done most often by a professional for a very good quality, or individually if you have the necessary equipment. At home, there may be failures, the print may not be perfect, but the result will be more personal. This part of autonomy is an asset that digital does not have and is very appreciated by the passionate of analog photography. The ” imperfections ” of a silver photograph, due to a too old camera, a handling or a delicate development, actually still seduce us. The photographer is more involved in the realization of his photography and he is the real actor. Silver photography also appears more authentic, because it is less susceptible to changes after the shooting. It is a technology that many professionals appreciate more than digital photography, especially in the artistic field.
