Scanning Film and Focus Shift Shooting

This week, we are still staying indoors, so we thought we’d talk about our little home projects to keep us busy during these interesting times. Rick is busy using a Nikon ES-1 film digitizing adapter to photograph family photos, and Jason spent some time learning the nuances of the Focus Shift shooting settings on Nikon DSLRs for macro photography.

The role of film in a digital world?

We got a great question recently on our Image Doctors Facebook Page from listener Leigh Gregory, who asked if we were shooting film anymore, and if we had any tips. It got us thinking and before we knew it, we were discussing the role of film in modern photography. Enjoy!
