The light during golden hour on Saturday was nice. Can't beat Key West for that magic...

Can you imagine this many pictures on film? Sorting though negatives, developing them? When digital first arrived it was not very good quality. Wow what we have gotten to. Keep rockin Jay!:)

No kidding- I actually think about it often- technology has made some cosmic changes in my life over the last 20 years.
Back in the day I always resisted the urge to buy a motor winder for the camera because I knew it would be an easy way to burn up a LOT of film. :anonymous: At the time I had an ad agency and shot strictly ektachrome slides because they gave the best color reproduction when printing. Can't tell you how many thousands I spent on processing and 4-color separations- still have boxes of slides somewhere.
I have always been a huge fan of photo-illustration (big surprise, huh?) and I used to dream about what was then called a 'graphics workstation'... 150K for a computer system with less processing power than today's average smartphone. I could fantasize and visualize a finished piece, but in those days you needed a color darkroom and lots of time to do any kind of special effects and that equipment wasn't cheap. Glad I didn't make that leap back in 1977. ;)
Great pics, as always Jay!
Did a year-end tally the other day- shot 40K frames last year, which is down because I missed fantasy fest and some races, and the Bimini Challenge did not happen.Quote:

That's 62 rolls of 36-exposure film. At $3 ea thats 18 hundy for one day, before you leave the room. (ektachrome was more like 5 a roll IIRC late 70's)
I've always been a fan of technology. Bring it.
I want a camera that can also be a projector and have real-time webcam broadcasting capabilities, weigh less than a pound, and have unlimited battery life.
Call me a dreamer. :biggrin-new:

Wow Jay, that water in KW gets extremely rough. Look at Aqua Mania catching some air in those conditions, great pic.:)
It was a bit sporty, wind had been light but steady all week. What makes that spot interesting is the tidal flow-
coming in and out around the point creates a pretty good hole. Always makes for great pix if you're on em when they hit it.
This street can sometimes be a black hole for your memory and your money. :anonymous:

WOW, that is an awesome shot!! As far as camera technology, I think cameras like you described are on the horizon.
Makes you wonder how much technology they hold back, however.
Oh, hell yes- today's sensors are eliminating the need for flash.
Combine an iPhone with a few cool instagram filters and wa-la...
a multi-media travelogue you can share with every one of your friends before your hangover's gone.
I remember an anecdote from an engineering class back around 1970-
even back then reading license plates in Red Square with the satellites was passe.
They supposedly had the ability to 'see' about a dozen feet into the ground.
who knows what's next? I'm ready, bring it. :glee:
I've been experimenting with some composite ideas-
mostly involving multiple images of one boat.
Here's an experiment with the Sheds Plus Fountain from Key West.

Keep experimenting this is really cool!!!Quote:

I started working the concept a month ago when a friend asked about whether I had pix of 4 specific boats and could I put something together for large dock/boathouse mats?
Of the four boats, I have zillions of three of em, but the fourth... he came on one run with our local group, three years ago and I got one shot of him on that run. heh.
That sure feels good when it happens.
