Question

did she really use film? digital? or is it just me?

Answer 1

thats because on those 2 photos they are taken of existing photos in the planetarium... they're backlighted photos.



And she probably has a scanner

Answer 2

To get any picture on to the internet it has to be digitised, simply scanned in.

Once you have that digital file you can photo edit it if you wish.



Her pictures look fine....she knows her cameras.

Answer 3

She shoved the negative into the cd slot. That's how she got it on the computer.



Obviously in the first two she was taking pictures of pictures - unless she got up in the space shuttle and took the shot out the window. I think it'd been on the news.



Dslr lenses tend to be not as great as just plain old ordinary lenses - the difference is they are cropped to match the sensor. Waste of money in my opinion. What happens when you get a full frame camera - the lens is now pretty much useless.



Film resolves better and renders better color than digital, especially affordable consumer level digital. A digital image would not have had the detail that these do - check the hands in the second shot - would have been a bit noisy.



After 5 years of cursing my digital camera for not being able to deliver what I could easily get on film, I went back to film. Oh I LOVE the smell of fixer in the morning!

Answer 4

I'll start off by saying that in my opinion they are very poor images. I guess some people are easily pleased.



"know it says it was taking by film, but it looks so clear"



What do you mean by this?. Perhaps I should point out that film still has digital beaten when it comes to image quality and resolution. This image is shot on film, a perfect example of the resolution that can be achieved..

(a huge image, please give time to load).





"she might've used a dslr lense"



This is such a silly comment I am speechless..





"sorry my mind is just blow, its so hard to believe they were taken with film."



Well believe it.



"how did she get it on her computer? "



Easily, by using a scanner!. Film negatives can also be scanned by photo labs and transferred to CD in JPEG, or scanned at home directly to computer.



"im just really confused"



You sure are.





I shoot nothing but film these days, for the enjoyment of shooting it, and for the superior image quality.

Jonathan> I do not have a "disgust" for digital. I also own a DSLR and a digital P&S and will use them when it is appropriate, use the right tool for the right job. Trust me, I love digital!, but I will also add that digital is the best AND the worst thing to happen to photography. When it comes to sheer enjoyment of shooting (for me), and image quality, I will shoot film. I also use Lightroom/CS3 and other tools, at the end of the day, the end result is all that matters. I did say that "in my opinion" the images are poor, and I stick to that, plus after answering on this site for some time, believe me, some people really ARE easily pleased.



Rather than let this question end up another *yawn* "film v digital" debate, feel free to contact me privately.

Answer 5

Its obvious that you've had no experience with high quality film and film cameras.



Here is one of my film efforts taken with a Minolta XE-7 35mm film camera with a Minolta ROKKOR-X 200mm prime lens. http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/4048796836/ ISO 200 film, f11 with an exposure of 30 seconds.



Or how about this one? http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/3982233634/ ISO 100 film, Minolta XE-7, Minolta ROKKOR-X 21mm lens, f16, exposure unrecorded (I shot in Aperture Priority).



Photography is photography regardless of how you preserve the image.



Both of my examples made very nice 11x14 (approximately A3) prints and are hanging on my wall.

Answer 6

film is digital once its scanned,



they could be captured on either, the medium is unimportant in 2010 its the image that matters



film or digital - they are just recording methods - its what one records and how that matters

Answer 7

All I know is that those pictures are brilliant.

Answer 8

Yes it is very possible all 3 images where done using film and no digital manipulation.



Check out the link below, it is by Jerry Uelsmann and it has no digital manipulation.



My 2 cents.
