Hi both, :-)

Lluis and Nathan a couple of questions?

1/ Why do you say "Film is better?"

2/ "Where do you think film is better?"

Since I became "Hooked on digital," it has never occurred to me to ever go 
back to film..... "OF ANY KIND!" Or even think about it. And don't miss it 
for one milli-second!

I shoot nothing but digital with various cameras and I still expose the neat 
things I did with film. Actually, I think in colour "digital colour is 
immediate, result is right there in a moment!" No need to or rarely need to 
bracket frame after frame as we did with film. Nor do I have to take it to 
the lab, wait for the developing a couple of hours? Days? Weeks? Depending 
which film I was using?

And as I understand from Tina and others, today there is software? I think 
that's what it is? You can make digital images look like they were shot on 
film. But being me, my response is always "WHY? AND WHO CARES?" Certainly if 
the content is a smashing great content! After all isn't it the content that 
matters most and not whether the image looks like Tri-x, Kodachrome or 
whatever?Just a couple of early morning thoughts and questions.
cheers,
ted
