the most fascinating thing about film is that an artifact {ie slide or negative} is created at the time of exposure and was there. with digital there is no artifact until a Print is made.

sorry, inflation~ its 2$ now!

have u cleaned the paper detect sensor?

define DR = dynamic range. some may not know.

some ppl just cant think for themselves and want a formula. what camera should i buy? what lens should i bring? we see those ?? a lot here. i usually ignore them but when i get a bug in my bottom i might reply the best camera is the one in your hand and the best lens is the one on it. how many times do we have to say its not the camera? ppl. the best authority is your own Mind.

its not the camera. but. iphone may be good for street Photography because ppl are used to seeing them

years ago i went to my nephews wedding and made some Photos. they had hired a "pro" and i chatted him up. it did not take me long to learn that this guy had no clue what he was doing. i was using a Demage 7 Minolta and shooting casually, my nephew told me later that my work was 10x better that the "pro".

as a general rule the tripod should be 2x the weight of the camera. you can get away with less, such as a travel tripod but you must be carful.

do u no the story of Ampex?
after the end of the war in Germany this guy in the occpation force was walking around searching buildings and came across these 2 machines. he had no clue what they were but he packed them up and shipped them home. when he got home he started tinkering with them and discovered they were reel to reel audio tape recorders!
in the USA ppl were expermenting with magnetic tape but it sounded like crap. what the Germans had done was to add "bias" to the signal creating a quality orders of magnitude better than the wire and wax recorders of the time.

R.I.P. Judith Durham 1943 - 2022
https://youtu.be/wZf41UudAbI
She was an Australian singer who gained fame in the 1960s for fronting The Seekers: a quartet that despite being “too pop for folk and too folk for rock” went on to become Australia’s first act to sell millions in the UK and US. (The group also featured Bruce Woodley, a one-time Paul Simon collaborator.) Their hit run included “I’ll Never Find Another You” (#1 UK and Australia, #4 US), “A World of Our Own” (written by Dusty Springfield’s brother Tom), “The Carnival is Over” (UK and Australian #1) - all in 1965, as well as 1966’s “Georgy Girl,” their highest US success (at #2, #3 in the UK).
Judith went solo in 1968. Her departure meant the end of the group, which was commemorated with a BBC TV special and the issue of a Greatest Hits collection that, in the UK at least, knocked The Beatles’ White Album out of the top slot (while stopping the Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet from peaking higher than 3). Judith’s solo career failed to reach the heights of success she had with her previous act and in time, she took part in periodic reunions beginning in 1992, through 2019 when ill-health precluded any further involvement. She passed away from a chronic lung illness a month after turning 79.

I made these while in the Photography program at Mount Hood CC
