Okay. Here is another shot from my Rolleicord V and Kodak Portra film. However, this shot was underexposed and fixed in Photoshop Lightroom (sort of). However, I like how the Henry Moore scupture is highlighted in this image…
DIA Great Hall

Who says digital is better than film? Here is an incredible image of the Detroit Institute of Art’s Great Hall shot with a fifty+ year old Rolleicord V and Kodak Portra film. This image is absolutely HUGE! When I first uploaded to flickr, Lightroom gave me an error stating the image was too big for upload (maxes out the maximum permissible file size) – so I had to degrade this image to 85% and still the detail is here! Amazing, a fifty year old medium format camera can blow away today’s top of the line full frame DLSRs! That just shows you… FILM IS NOT DEAD!
