Reminds me of some old glass negatives I heard about (probably 8x10) of a city this way. I heard they were zooming in enlarging just portions and seeing identifiable people. I can see people in this zoom (the park near the band shell).

I've seen dagguerreotypes that looked very detailed.

Absolutely. I agree as well. Clear yes. Lacking texture and as you say warmth yes. I like both for different reasons. My husband and I are switching over to digital for art photos now and still looking for the best camera. We both love film.

You people and your fancy-schmancy, new fangled roll film!

Wow, that appears to have been shot through a window, and it’s clear as a bell. 103.3 would be the answer to your question.

Huffing the mercury again?

Do you have more details on this shoot?

Visit their front door and click Enter. I note they are using Google to host their images, no doubt using the Google Maps tiling software to keep the bandwidth load under control.

Here's an old analog black and white (2 August 1914), in which an individual was identified:

Oh no! I mix it in my cocktails!

Belated thanks for your reply - I see you are exactly right - good point. ;-)

I told my (younger) boss today that Paul Simon had a song called Kodachrome on his There Goes Rhymin’ Simon album, and he couldn’t understand why. At least he didn’t ask who Paul Simon is.....

Here's a shot from my brand new digital Canon Xsi (handheld)

The late Paul Simon had an album?
