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...

It is a good series. The analysis of the photos is interesting, as is
the discussion on what the photographers meant to accomplish. I wish
they'd do more on landscape shooters, nature shooters (I've only seen
to ep. 3) but so far, so good.

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've been in the one in San Francisco by the Cliff House. Very cool.

Nice.

I enjoyed looking at your other images, as well. Thank you for the
opportunity.

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

It had no lens!!

That's rather the point of a camera obscura.

I'm pretty sure it isn't.
"camera obscura" == "dark chamber"

Ok, you're going to have to elaborate a little. What is there in the
phrase 'dark chamber' that says a camera obscura is constructed with a
lens?

I'm loath to quote wikipedia but too lazy to do anything else: "The
principle of the camera obscura can be demonstrated with a rudimentary
type, just a box (which may be room-size) with a hole in one side".

Some do, some don't. The one in Edinburgh has periscope-style optics,
and the direction view can be changed as projected onto a concave table.
