Plan for first photo shoot

My photo shoot is based on 

• Landscape
• Flowers/plants

Location: Windmill nature reserve in Henfield


Techniques

I'm going to use both digital SLR(Nikon D5000) camera and Film SLR(Canon EOS) with black and white film, as this will allow for me to explore which i get the best results with. 

Digital:

• Can easily lose detail in whites and blacks
• 10 Megapixels is high enough resolution for very large prints
• Cameras are generally lighter
• Memory cards are small
• One memory card can store more images than a dozen rolls of film
• Images can be viewed immediately
• You can edit your images- This means after capturing many photo's the favourites i can edit colours and many other ways which i find one of it's highest advantages
• Only print the images you like 

Film:

• Better at capturing detail in whites and blacks (dynamic range)
• More forgiving of minor focusing issues
• More forgiving of exposure problems
• Film is still higher resolution
• Cameras are generally heavier unless digitally integrated will vary
• Film can take up a lot of space
• Film is a continuing cost
• Film must be developed before viewing
• Unless you have a darkroom, you are dependent on the lab to edit your images which results in waiting also costs.

As you can see both have their advantages and disadvantages however after my first shoot i will see two shoots same but also different in their own way. This will be the hard decision.
 
TRIPOD:

I'm going to use this to make sure i can get the best focused shots i can, also this is going to be good practice for me with a tripod as I've not had need to use them much before.
