Anyone been watching this? Some really interesting stuff, some boring
stuff. Some pompous, untalented windbags, some incredibly innovative
photogs. Some great photos, some weak photos. Overall a A- for the
series so far. The production and participants, as a whole, seem to
lend equal credibility to digital, film and other photographic mediums
- no ****ing matches or insults flying from any one camp. Catch it if
you can...


I think the neatest part of that show was the Camera Obscura.


Have you ever been in a real camera obscura? We went to the one in
Edinburgh this summer - it's SO cool. After the demonstration, they
turned this red light on, and I took a photo with a fisheye at ISO 1000.

I think the one in the program was more impressive in a way.

It had no lens!!
