Description
Yes this is a take on the song "Video killed the radio-star." As strange as this sounds i actually had a dream about this
My friend keeps on telling me that film is a "dying" practice, yet some of my all time favorite work has been on film. I think film, just like the radio will develop into something completely different and special. 
Thats just my $0.02 
I had to pull out all my big guns for this shot,
D70
2 tripods w/ quick release plates
2 SB800s w/ diffusion domes
32" reflector (silver side)
White paper
Sony Cybershot P7
Kodak TMAX 100
Hoya Circular polarizer
Nikkor 18-70mm w/ lens hood
Shot in RAW edited/converted in PS7
I hope you enjoy!
Viva la film!

I like film. It teaches you to take more careful thought when setting up shots.

Amen... amen.. sometimes all this digital stuff just gets in the way. NOTHING really beats a full manual camera and some good old Illford Delta 100

hehe, you captured the sentiment brilliantly, the thing I find a shame is that the practices are dying, for a lot of people photoshop has replaced the use of filters and stuff, which I think is a real shame. anyway that's just my oppinion.

yeah i totally know what you mean, i dont think photoshop will be able to replace the good 'ol practice of good filters, clean negatives, and great enlarger techniques

incredible concepy, I really identify with it...
but hey, a digital camera only sells so good because you don't have to spend a fortune you don't have on films and development (its why I do it selmdomly and not using a digi..

You're so right. Both of my parents worked at Kodak Norway, and they lost their jobs when the company was shut down. There's only one Kodak left in skandinavia now (apart from the little shops with one-hour developing) and it's a lot more expensive and takes longer to develope when sending it to sweden and that one will most likely be shut down as well.
So it is for a fact a fading part of the industry and I love the way you've captured this. great composition and colours, amazing work!

Great picture, nice concept, BUT!!!
You've spoiled T-MAX 100!!! and well i'm a great film fan! i really wish to fav it but i can't .... just cant!
And i'm a bit angry on you now. So you have to comment on some more of my Dev's. In that case i'll forgive you
Once again - great idea and it's professionally done.

I havent noticed it at first. the tip is (seems) unprocessed for some reason so i thought it is unprocessed.

I sometimes am scared that digital will overtake film. Any jackass with a good digital camera can take high quality, superb pictures. my mother tells me that instead of focusing on quality, photos will begin to focus on content again. And they will thus evolve once more into something amazing.
But I do still love film. There's something more personal about it, even seeing it developed. There's a roughness, a naturalness, and the photographers touch truly goes into it. At least, that's how I feel.
This is a thought provoking peice.

Whew, I love this piece! Though I must say that digital and film are, of course, companions, not enemies! Everything has its place. This is more DD material.

It's a good, clean shot and I like the concept behind it. Sad to say, I'm old enough to remember when the first video aired.

Heh, cute.
Being a film shooter, though, I would have to say that film will never really die, per se... It will become a niche market. Which is fine, being I have a love affair with film...
