Star trails just aren't the same with digital, I agree. I actually really miss shooting in the black and white film I learned with through high school and uni. Good memories.Quote:

Totally agree with digicams' inability to shoot well in the dark too.
On the left is a photo I took (back in 1999) with a film camera, on the right a photo I took with a digital camera:

Kodak filed for bankruptcy last week, due to falling demand in film.
Amoungst other issues as well. Kodak were well behind the in the digital race.Quote:

Even their foray into digital cinema was unsuccessful as their severs were too restrictive for chains to use. They had them designed so that the software wasn't customisable to the cutomers needs in the slightest. The levels of control that kodak insisted they retain were ridiculous, so much so that if anything went wrong only a Kodak technician could have to come out to fix it, not good when you have a room full of 300 odd people waiting for a movie and on top of that every film shown on one of their servers needed an extra fee just for using the projector...
With business sense like that, you can see why they have gone. They are probably good friends with the Transformers Collectors Club.:p
Farewell Kodak.
Also found out yesterday that Mortein bit the dust, their factory expecting closure in July, seems like Louie the Fly is actually dead now.
so wait I thought you said you were a teacher jena? Also Skywarp they are not dead but moving to over seas from waht I understand.
