Author Topic: Upload your random pictures (part 3) Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-22-2008 03:52 PM                     quote: Mike Heenan I collect film prints and trailers, while for some folks an Blu Ray is sufficient and I would be thought of as crazy. MIke, Hardly, alot of people collect film. I still collect film myself but I rarely run at it at home an longer and most of my prints are at a friends home who also collects. The Blue Ray thing has many advantages over film aside from its convenience, especially with old titles which are slowly beginning to appear. No matter how mint your "print" of some old Technicolor film may be the Blue Ray or HD-DVD version is still going to look and sound better because of many reasons. Granted you're not going to see it as big off Blue Ray, although some try to. In reality film has become an archaic technology that no longer fits into todays "Digital World".

I just enjoy it (although admittedly, a bit lesser these days), but someone who's not into it wouldn't understand why I like prints. Just like some in this thread don't understand the Civil War thing. I don't get it, but I wouldn't ridicule it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-22-2008 05:48 PM                     Guys, start a new thread for civil war discussions and such.

They are doing an injustice to our young people and dummying them down by failing to honestly educate them in an unbiased/non personal-view manner. It seems to be more important to be a politically correct revisionist rather than historically correct. Phil, you and I are SO on the same page. My niece just graduated from high school, and I almost wish her teachers had at least some kind of agenda other than tenure or marking time to retirement. Two examples: For a recent family gathering, I brought over some 16mm episodes of "In Search Of..." One that I was keen to show was a very good story on Amelia Earhart. My niece asked, "Who's Amelia Earhart?" None of us could believe she could be a senior in high school without knowing about the famous aviatrix. No wonder she didn't care for history. I can only imagine how they superficially glossed over it. BTW, she was enthralled with that and the other episodes I showed. For her junior year, she was taking a photography class. So I arranged for her to get a nice used Pentax K-1000. She spent a weekend with me as I showed her how it worked. She shot a roll, which we developed together. The images were quite nice. In fact, I printed two of them for a gift for my husband. HOWEVER, in class, her experiences were markedly different. A couple of rolls had no images. I didn't see the film, so I don't know what the problem was... ...but get this: Her teacher's response was, "Well, I guess your camera doesn't like black and white film." Instead of using it as a chance to solve a mystery, and perhaps actually LEARN something, her teacher gave her SO VERY BAD INFO, just so she didn't have to challenge herself, I guess. I borrowed the camera to make sure that it hadn't broken after that initial roll. No problem, as expected.

Yeah, it's WWII era, and designed to shoot black film, buuut, a camera will shoot whatever film you put in it, color B/W, or even maybe IR. True, being a camera designed for B/W film, it lacks the lens coating that reduces color seperation due to refraction (I'm having a brain fart and forget the actual term for it, abberation, or something like that), but put color film in it and it works just fine. That is when I get the settings right. B/W exposes easier than color, and I do seem to underexpose alot somehow, so I do better with B/W. But that's not because of the camera. I don't get to play with that camera enough to get good with it.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-28-2008 01:09 PM                        |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-28-2008 06:28 PM                     A sign at a Wall-Mart gas station: Is it video or film?
