Now there are all sorts of condos, theaters, stores, etc. And Pixar, the big animation studio, is also based there with a big campus.<BR/><BR/>The real advantage of the film camera to me is that I have better lenses and the shutter trips instantly, instead of the delayed shutter we get with the digital camera. I also think the film quality isn't as good as it used to be. (Kodak got out of the film manufacturing business a few years ago, so pretty much all film is made by Fuji these days, even the stuff sold under the Kodak brand.)<BR/><BR/>Here's an assignment for anybody who wants to investigate the film/digital divide, though. The San Diego and Route One photos included both film and digital shots, which I interspersed. Can you tell which is which? (Without looking at the filenames, which would be cheating.)Patioboaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600842825460753192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838647084146190738.post-48946512920967632432009-03-04T03:39:00.000-08:002009-03-04T03:39:00.000-08:00It all comes back to music with Michael, doesn't i...It all comes back to music with Michael, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>I've enjoyed the entire series. It reminds me of all sorts of good memories over the years. The only thing that might've been better is if you had included a few shots of Emeryville for me.Gettysburg Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556094031951862400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838647084146190738.post-11716836459661334922009-03-03T21:43:00.000-08:002009-03-03T21:43:00.000-08:00It's interesting.

The digitized film pictures aren't as sharp and clear as the digital pictures, but they have a warmth and an artistic quality that the digital pictures don't have.<BR/><BR/>It sort of reminds me of the difference between listening to music on a vinyl album and a CD or MP3. The vinyl sounds warmer, but the digital is crisper and clearer, even before you get to the question of scratches and pops on the vinyl.Michael Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024770164093015225noreply@blogger.com
