Do you still use a film camera? It's cheap to get a Photo CD done when you get them printed.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 10 Sep 2007, 21:15

yup i still use a SLR film camera, the ones i got today i put on CD but i got some developed there so we didnt get them on CD.

I still say 35mm cameras produce the best prints but on screen digital cameras wipe the floor with 35mm. That's probably because Boots 35mm to CD process sucks though and obviously scanning does.

I stubbornly stuck with 35mm for years only getting a digital camera last November. For simplicity, storage and ease of access they cannot be beaten. As the truth is most people look at photos on a monitor now digital is better.

How lovely! How could you have anything but a wonderful time in a place as beautiful as that.

actually i dont think this is true...the 2 panoramic images are from digital and film, the 2nd one, which is sharper, clearer and more vivid is from the 35mm film i took, the other was on a digital camera that my friend used....

ok some more photos

the view from like 10yards down from our apartment

A random, quaint street in the village

another view from just down the road

The Plaza

The plaza again

The river running through the village

The view from our porch on a foggy day

The view from our porch on a clear day

From our bedroom window.

Damn, that looks nice, Shen. I love vacations in quiet green environments.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Sep 2007, 22:16

How come neither you nor your travel companions are in any of the photos?

They're very well shot, but look like postcards rather than a holiday record.

I would've peronalised them more.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 11 Sep 2007, 22:26

becuaes i hate my photo taken as does he

the reason they look like postcards is becuae the whole place looked like something out of a postcard!

No offence but it really annoys me when people act all Prima Donna when a camera comes out.

Some of my friends will actively hide behind doors, walls, chairs, whatever to avoid their photo being taken. I don't get it, what's the big deal? What if that person suddenly dies?

As you guys know I've no problem showing my ugly mug on the Internet

I meant it's the case overall.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 11 Sep 2007, 23:01

well im not comfortable with my appearance, and thus i dont want it recorded in a photograph, so sure i will avoid a photo wherever possible, tho not the extent of hiding behind doors or walls, but behind my hand or a cushion usually. i'm far more comfortable with being behind the camera... however i do show close friends what i look like and vice versa...i just dont want it plastered over the internet is all too.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 12 Sep 2007, 00:28

I'm the same. I also dont like my picture taken. Never liked it. Not even back when I was young and pretty. Drives my girlfriend crazy at times, as she wants pictures of the two of us. Obviously I cant dodge the bullet always, but still... I try...

She has a few pictures of me, though... so IF I suddenly die, she'll be a-okay(!) :mrgreen:

Nice to know that you recognise that you're ugly, Joseph Merrick.
