bob haight Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Erik, don't tell us your still shooting film. Wow, where do you buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_reither1 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Has anyone seen any film negatives from 1889-1950 lately? Nope, because the film base was cellulose nitrate, which deteriorated over time (or worse, self combusted.) Fortunately the prints survived. Although nobody ever accused a CD of self combustion, CDs do deteriorate and they are easily destroyed by heat. Hard drives can be destroyed with a magnet. Formats and storage media will change. Example: Kodak's FinePix standard is already kaput. Until someone invents a permanent, long term storage method for digital images (probably won't happen), I'll keep shooting b&w film and color digital side by side.

addaon stanford Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Erik, so what you're telling us is that 'film is dead' is dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-bug Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Now maybe (Film is dead, is dead) is dead. Posting a new thread about it only continues the madness. BTW, the yeti/penguin game is a riot. I forwarded it to people in my office, and I hear giggles over the cubicle walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absinthe Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I think the guy coded it to be harder... when I first tried this link a few weeks ago, people were averaging in the 500's & a few got just over 600. Now I can't seem to get much past 300. Its all about the line drive :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakley Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 It was all luck - never past 316.5 since the first swing. But I can reliably get 206 without a bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_reither1 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Jay, you replied, "So then you're saying you feel your color work is expendable but your B&W work is worth saving?" No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm back to shooting film b&w along side digital color because properly processed b&w negatives and prints will probably last 200 years or more, just sitting in a box in the closet. Digital images will require constant maintenance and conversion to new storage formats, thus will probably be lost over time. I'm not an HCB. All I do is take portraits of my family. I recently inherited family photos from the 1860's. I want my photos to last that long, too. That's all I'm after. Digital is vastly superior to film when it comes to the ease and convenience of the process itself. With my D1x, Photoshop, and Epson 1280, I can make 12x18 prints that are stunning. And for all practical purposes, the quality is about the same as a film print. These digitally produced prints will probably last no longer than a color print made by film processes. Maybe even less. But there's little I can do about it. So I shoot b&w, too, using film cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
