Hi! I have used very few camera's in my life. But i saw some incredible
slides (not digital) on a slide show presentation. The slide depicted
the movement of the stars over a period of twenty minutes. It was
suposedly done by leaving the shutter on a camera open. Hows that work?

As some of you may know, this is only my 3rd time submitting an
entry to the SI and my 2nd time as a 'reviewer'.  In addition, I'm
only a photo hobbyist, so please take everything I say with a grain
of salt.

I would like to show you the picture of the week.
This time in square and color.

How about the Future of Film?
Since Carl Zeiss introduced the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder camera system - a 35
mm film camera - we keep receiving questions about our belief in the future
of film.

When I look at individual frames on negatives from some cameras, they
don't have straight edges.  They have one or two tabs on the side.  
What's that all about?

My Dad just gave me is very old Olympus Trip 35 and had some left over
film, so I'm going to give it a try. I've only ever used digital before
and even then I don't have much experience. Any tips strictly related
to film? Or even better anything related to the Olympus Trip 35?

Sorry for the delay, that work thing.  I will be brief.

OK.  I'm a bit late with my comments on the "Not Quite Obsolete"
submissions because I wasn't going to submit any.  I've only
participated in the SI twice and I felt that it might be a bit
presumptuous of me, as a total newcomer, to critique the work of

Does it really make a difference in your pictures if you use high
definition film over regular 400 speed film?

I've spent over an hour on the Nikon web site attempting to find a
NIKON ONE TOUCH ZOOM 90 owner/user manual. I can't even find a
reference to this camera. Where can I download this manual?
I tried sending an email to them requesting this, I think sending a man

Took this one yesterday from the car window.  Really.

This camera is gorgeous. I particularly love the huge viewfinder and
its positioning on the side.

What is a low-key image?
I was reading an article on exposure and it
mentioned a low key image but did not state
what it was.

Has anybody tried using centre filters on regular
35mm SLR lens to achieve a more even light fall-off?

i had a roll of Kodak EB-3 developed by a local lab.  but the result is
so weird,  expect 5 frames in the beginning, all remainds exposures are
total transparent plastic with only ( not very ) dard strips sperated
each of them in the normal vertical border positions.
