The Rio Hondo outside of Taos, known for Cutthroat and Brookies. One of my favorite fishing streams.

WHY FILM?

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I cannot understand why folks are still using film cameras for any kind of photography. Is it some kind of masochistic tendency? With film, you first make an exposure, and wait for some period of time to see the result. If the image is satisfactory you then scan it and digitize it and probably digitally enhance it. Go digital and be instantly gratified or instantly disappointed. Will somebody please tell me how film is superior to a four to five megabyte jpeg image.

Yosemite, 1964

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I thought this old slide to be interesting as it shows Nevada and Vernal falls after a good winter snow pack.

I would appreciate feedback on this two shot panorama as I am curious about how you feel about manipulating this type of image format. Thanks in advance.

I thought that these poses were well done by this Housefinch and Goldfinch pair.

QUITE A SURPRISE

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I recently picked up a nice 60mm spotting scope on Astromart for $85.00. The seller informed me that it is a Celestron/Vixen. I am unable to confirm his assertion but I tend to believe it. It has a 25x screw-in eyepiece and came with a 62mm solar filter and a camera adapter with a Nikon T-ring. I live in a very light polluted area, two miles west of DFW airport. The other night I turned the scope on Orion and darned if it didn't resolve the four stars of the trapezium. I'm really having a problem with how good this thing that I bought to use at the rifle range is. It is also a fine digiscoper as can be seen in the attached photo which was taken through a double pane of glass with a 3.2 MP camera.
