Doesn't anyone here use film anymore? Wow!

I must be stuck in the 80's then. Which might explain my haircut.

Yeah I'm still a film guy at the moment. CCD's may be in the near future. But I'm still undecided.

Howdy.
Nice shot, was the filk hypered. Before I got my Canon DSLR, I had noted that film was getting better in that reciprocity failure was getting less.

Hi Scott, no the film was not hypered. Great shot of the comet though.
