Quote from ginsengavengerPoint taken, but there I don't think there's a digital camera made that can rival the fidelity of large format
And the tinkerer in me doesn't think anyone will be building his own dSLR anytime soon.
well actually post pros that have gone digital still use their good ol hasselblad. They just buy a super high megapixel back for it that is actually in some ways higher resolution than even the 5x4 negatives that guys like ansel adams use.
Heck head on over to http://%7boption%7d and check out their new 39 megapixel monster. You know if these oldschool camera makers are going digital that it's the wave of the future.
That said there will always be analog junkies. Hell in some ways I am too, I have stax of records and still preffer the sound of them for some live recordings. Of course I would never trade them in for my ipod either.

No, i do not thing a piece of cake is better than money for an entire cake, i think thats a good metaphor, but i dont agree. I simply do not think digital storage is even on par with film, and I dont dislike digital photography, but keeping a harddrive for a hundred years is not the same as keeping film negatives. There are film negatives like ook was saying that he gets to see from his grandparents, he can print those today. Digital is a brand new technology, do you really think harddrives or computers or anything that could possible store those digital pictures will be the same in a hundred years so that you can easily print those? Now there are ways to put digital pictures onto film, that I think is sweet. As for ruining film, ya its a tricky business, thats why I started a whole thread in with glee when I processed my own film for the first time, and DIDNT fuck up, i was proud of myself because 80% of everyone else doing it for the first time screwed their's up. But theres a reason you learn and master the techniques. So, film is tangible, you can hold it in your hand, you can put it in a box and ook can see it 2 generations later. 1's and 0's are not, im sure people will take AMAZING care of their harddrives...but one magnet later and its a paperweight.
"I'm sure people will take AMAZING care of their negatives but if you take one match later and they're ashes."
Sorry but I think your line of logic is not correct. Digital media will evolve and I will take my pictures with me and hand them down to my children just like my grandparents did. Except mine will be on a server with many reduntant backups instead of rotting in a carboard box and they will look just as good (or bad!) then as they do now.

Quote from DaanOThe negatives (or whatever they're called in english, the actual film) of all the photos my mother took during her life are still in great condition. Even from her childhood.
I guess everyone has different experiences with old film. I'm currently in the process of scanning and color correcting hundreds of my parents old pictures so they won't just derteriorate in the box. Especially the ones of my parent's parents.
Digital is the way to go for long term storage because it's lossless assuming you take care of your media and make regular backups.
Don't get me wrong, I love the analog look of film, but I don't think it's fair to say it keeps better than digital.

film has archival propertys that digital doesnt, i mean sure you can back up on hd after hd, but a harddrive isnt celluloid. i cant see 35mm going the way of the dodo
i'm confused... you're saying digital has worse archival properties than celuloid? digital = forever. celuloid = gets yellow and some colors start to fade after 20-30 years. film has much worse archival properties than digital.

Quote from Bic-B@lli'm having a new dock put into my back yard and i want to place my camera in the same place every day and take the same picture so that i can get a ice bunch of pictures i can put in a slide show to show the progress. i was wondering if anyone had tips for positioning the camera. there's no place in the house that i can put the camera that would be good because of anges/screens. and i don't want to leave the camera outside obviously. is there a good way to go about this?
I would suggest buying a tripod with a quick release on it and anchoring it to the ground with some cinderblocks. Then you can just go out, slap down the camera, shoot, and take the camera inside when you are done. Probably want to get a tarp to cover the tripod when you are not using it too.

I got my new photo blog up and running finally. That shall be the new resting place for my photo work. It's updated with at least one new pic every day and will eventually be linked to my blog where I'll post stuff like pics of my recent trip to japan and other things you don't care about like my feelings on the most ubiquitous structures in the field of MEMS... the Cantilever. The core site for icecoldmilk is still under construction but will likely exist before the end of ever.
Check it out here -> i c e c o l d p h o t o.

Heya, all. Thought I would throw up some of my recent pictures. Been learning the custom white ballance feature on the Rebel as well as how to use "P" properly. A few of these are from a recent trip to paris but most are from a great trip to the the Fort Worth Zoo last weekend.
Most of these images are "as is" from the camera. A few have been cropped down and a few of the reptiles were intentionally underexposed and then releveled to improve shooting in the low light conditions without a tripod. Also used a polarized lens for many of the reptiles to reduce the reflections in the glass.
As always comments and critiques are much appreciated.

Quote from DaanOI don't have a clue what you're talking about. I guess the Dutch cinema's are just slow.
Firefly is a TV show. At the moment you can only see it on DVD. I highly reccomend getting it.
The movie (Serenity) is a continuation of the TV show and will be hitting theatres in Sept. I saw a sneak preview last night however and it was amazingly good.

Nice of you to say that but I think there are a lot of great people posting here. I doubt any one of us is the "best"... we all see things differently.
