Best Answer

I think you should take both. It's important to know where Photography came from to fully appreciate it in it's entirety. I'm currently taking a film class. I'm finding it very beneficial and I've always shot DSLR. So I don't think one is better than the other. Plus film is the sharpest image you can ever achieve and its made with silver halide crystals, so it will last hundreds of years longer than anything you print off at Walgreens.

Answer

A digital is faster, smarter, handy, easy to use, and I think altogether better. You decide what you want to take.

Answer

Film Photography is passe'. Stay with digital and study Photoshop editing.

Answer

There is no reason to take a class about film photography unless you want to learn about the historical aspect. Digital photography has completely overtaken film. Soon, it will be difficult to even buy film, and it is already getting hard to find processing. Digital and Photoshop are the answer.

What is your subject? What is your intent?

In this day and age, digital is almost always better. It allows superior manipulation post-capture and much greater flexibility.

There still are those seeking the rustic film-look that is hard to match with digital photos.

On the sidenote: There are photographers and retouchers who transfer digital images onto film, then develop the film. So you can have a photographer shooting digital, but if you want the film look, you just need to find the correct technician and they'll do it in post. There's a few people in the US who do it. Very small market though.
