I hope that guy intends on throwing that camera overboard because it will punch a hole straight through an aircraft carrier.

If your picture isn't good enough, you're not close enough to death.

If anyone else is digging through the archives, I'm trying to find the post where I talked about going in on a group buy of electron microscope apertures for pinhole photography. I can't find a link to the site I found that was selling them at a reasonable rate (I think $50-60 for batches of 50 apertures, or something).

I don't even shoot film but this kind of makes me sad for some reason. quote:Another sign of the times (and bad news for film-photography enthusiasts): one of the most prestigious photo competitions in the world no longer accepts film photographs. Earlier this week Nikon published a “call for entries” for its 34th Nikon Photo Contest. Here’s what the entry guidelines say about “Eligible Works”: http://www.petapixel.com/2012/10/27/nikon-photo-contest-no-longer-accepts-photos-shot-using-film-cameras/

I can understand not wanted to accept prints/trannies for logistics reasons, but refusing to accept scans is definitely strange. Unless they somehow think that a winner on film would be bad publicity for their digital cameras?

Pretty sure one of the categories required you to use a Nikon 1 camera. I think it is a way for them to show off new technology maybe? Who knows.

would there really be a way they can tell for sure an image is a scanned and edited negative? Is this also really one of the most prestigious photo competitions in the world?

It sucks that Nikon isn't accepting film submissions anymore, but it's super funny to read all the foaming at the mouth on film camera forums from people who didn't even know this contest existed yesterday

Well that's certainly a thing: http://blog.hipstamatic.com/post/34814095006/reportagebygettyimages-the-latest-cover-of Probably not going to end the arguments over whether a cell phone can be a "legitimate" camera though. I assume it's going to fuel them for a while longer.

What argument? It's a camera. It takes legitimate photos. Legitimate means authentic, proper. It's a Camera Obscura. What argument? It's a loving pinhole and a sensor. All cameras are pinholes with a sensor. Sometimes it's a man in a room tracing on a sheet of paper and sometimes it's the internal side of a truck covered in chemicals. What the gently caress are you talking about. What the gently caress. That's a nice photo. God hates you. EDIT: gently caress

Yeah, smartphones are the new P&S. Great for plenty of stuff, bad for some other stuff. Having a smartphone with an okay camera in it was one of the things that pushed me to sell my DSLR. No need for an expensive digital camera just for grab shots.
