The title of the thread involves "opinions", please don't get me wrong - I'm perfectly happy discussing mediums and various surrounding topics (hence why I joined a forum). To reiterate what I previously said: I'm looking for a balanced overview and am more than happy to discuss the subject in general. I don't find it constructive to have someone negatively stamp on a perfectly harmless thread asking for help and advice by telling me how much they dislike a medium I'm looking to experiment with. We get it, your experience is going to trump my lack of, but I simply don't care for someone throwing this in my face when there is no need, it doesn't provide any substance and is quite frankly: pointless.
Any form of art is completely subjective, relative and personal. If you can't deal with this then that isn't an excuse to ruin the light for someone else.
Digital format is not in the equation. It's not because I think poorly or lesser of it... I have my reasonings and thoughts behind far beyond this forum which I do not have, or wish, to explain. I appreciate the gesture of someone, with greater experience, offering insight as to how/why/personal experience, but there's a way to go about things if you're trying to educate someone
Anyway, this thread is pretty much dead at this point -
apologies for any newbies like me who were asking themselves a similar question, scroll back to page 1 & 2 for the good stuff!
