    Digital photo quality...

    ...it's getting amazing.

    Was doing the KR cover this morning and was going through a bunch of Osborne's shots from Puke.

    He's using a D1 a variety of lenses - expensive lenses.

    In the source file of the cover shot you can make out the tacho needle reflected in the visor. Taken on a bike going hard out from a fair distance away.

    The pundits that still shoot on 35mm...I dunno, I never got 35mm scans like that to work off.

    I'm not sure. There's a fair bit of depth of field in that shot. Might be a couple of stops off full wide open.

    Nice though. There's absolutely no hint of grain any more. Do you find yourself wanting to put some in now?

    And crikey Dave? Why do you need 78+ layers in that layout?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Digital is ok but when you want real quality, film is still the best (and most expensive, no question about that)

    DoF - It's probably a 600mm lens - hang on I'll check.

    It's *had* 78 layers - Been building it off the same file for 6 months. Only about 15 on the file = delete them as surplussed.

    Not in the magazine or reproduction game. It's entirely filmless.

    My big digital prints are same quality as film to A0 size prints now too.

    Photoshop ftw.
