Greg, thank you for the answer and the explanation of what you meant. Well, if the film camera allows view through the real working aperture then a direct and complete control of any experimental setting is possible. This is the case on the T90 that I use very often.
I would go as far to say that the consideration of high costs is a very important factor for really learning to work in a conscious way, rather than using "any" possible settings until the photo is good. This conscious selection of settings makes one think deeper and get heavily involved in learning the basics, without which no photo whatsoever can reach that level of artistic expression that makes it to something special.
I am glad that you also use film, not for the sake of some "religion" but rather because the achieved knowledge will be always a great helper on our side, that will serve us on any light conditions. This knowledge is of course independend of the used technology - so it can be used for digital or even for any future technology.
It is just like developing some new kind of motor. Of course the used CAD programs can make our lives much easier but it is still basic thermodynamics that are valid in any design of some new engine. And the good thing with film is that it just dictates study and knowledge of basic photographic principles.
Thanks again and cheers,
Nick
P.S.: It is snowing here and the light conditions are really awful! That means, it is time for a film photo session outside! :-)

Hi Nick. I just think digital is easier than film because you can experiment with settings quickly at no cost where as with film you really need to know what your about. Can cost a lot of money before you get the hang of it. I just loaded my old film slr up the other day but find myself reluctant to use it on anything challenging due to cost of failure. Your photo's are extremly good and you have a good understanding of what to do. I'll have to pennys in and try a few things.
Regards Greg

Thank you very much, Greg! Do you really think that using film makes this more difficult? If so, then could you explain a bit more? I rather have the impression that film makes it easier because of the bent response curve to light, but perhaps I am wrong.
Best wishes,
Nick

Wow hard conditions for photography and done on film makes it harder. Love this and love the b/w.

Hi Nick,
If we were all made of money, we could carry 4 or 5 cameras loaded with all different films and lenses. :)

Same opinion I have, Andre! And this is the only thing I really miss on the T90. It is not possible to exchange films. Once you loaded a color film you remain with it for the next 36 shots, or you simply rewind it back and lose the rest of the frames. No possibility to rewind it so that the leading part remains out of the role, in order to be able to take it out, load for example a B&W film, and reload the partially exposured film later on and wind it forward to the point that you stopped working. On the old T70 it was possible to do that, but they didn't put that feature in the T90. So when you rewind a partially exposured film, it is rolled back completely in the film role, and of course it is a pain then to try to get the leading part out of the role again.
Oh well, old things do have their benefits, don't they?
Best wishes and thank you very much,
Nick

I think in this case, the conversion to B&W takes the image up a notch in effectiveness. The scene seems to be made for B&W
A good suggestion by Michali.
As you say though Nick, even better would have been a nice B&W film shot.

Thank you very much, Michali, for the nice comment and the idea for B&W. Hmm, OK, let's see what it looks like in B&W. I attach the conveted image though any conversion in PS is simply very different to real B&W film. But still I think you touched something very important here as the atmosphere of the converted image is even stronger. One can feel the damp air - or is it only my personal impression?
Best wishes and have a nice weekend.

Converted to B&W after Michalis' idea |

Good composition. Nice atmposphere. I think that this would make a good B/W image.
Well done,
