Yeah. Photo.net. It's almost as bad as usenet.
Back in the day, I used a lotta Tri-X, but I've been told and read that Fuji's
Velvia. I dunno about Ilford current offerings, but I DO remember when they
brought out their 800 ASA stuff. I couldn't wait to get my hands on some.
Man, was that early stuff grainy or what?
I've gone the rounds with the cheap photo processors. I'll take mine to
Borg-Andersen and pay a little more to have it done right. I took one roll of
KodaColor (I think that's what it's called now) to a local quickie processing
outlet and asked to have the images on a CD. They told me that the way they
did that was to process the film as prints, then scan 'em into digital form.
Uhhh....no thanks.
I was gonna be out at the track today but I've got a case of the "zacklies." I
feel zackly like shit. I just watched the Turkish GP on the DVR and Indy is
recording now, then NASCAR Coke 600 at Charlotte. I think I'll be able to rest
for the day. :) Gonna try to make it out tomorrow. I've got a general
admission ticket and I'm hoping that'll give me access to a coupla places to
shoot from. I called and was told that the GA ticket included a "pit pass"
(paddock access for the road racers.) We'll see. 2 years ago I got what was
to me a mind-blowing shot of Noriyuki Haga...
....as he was riding a pit scooter after breaking his collarbone in a
qualifying accident. I dunno if ya remember, but he raced with the broken
bone(s), finished 6th (I think) in the first race, then crashed again in the
2nd. He called it quits for the day after that.
