Urban Astronomy: Old film photo - Corona Borealis
http://urbanastronomy.blogspot.com/2011/03/old-film-photo-corona-borealis.html
Saturday, March 12, 2011. Old film photo - Corona Borealis. Recently found an old film AP pic I took. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of info on this one. I can tell you it was taken years ago, using Kodak ISO 200 Slide Film, and scanned with an Epson scanner. It may. Have been taken with a Pentacon Six, Medium Format camera, but again, I'm not sure. I had to significantly reduce it, just to upload it. Orig. size was over 96MB! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some Of My Favorite Links.

http://urbanastronomy.blogspot.com/2011/03/tried-film-astrophotography-again.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Tried Film Astrophotography again. I tried tripod-mounted film Astrophotography again.Yes, a bit of Déjà vu. Here I basically only ended up exposing 1 roll of film per camera. And, for some cameras; I didn't even get to shoot any. Film - That's how fast I changed my mind, and started listing them on e-bay. I hope to post some of the results soon. I believe I've only got about a handful of "viable" prints to show for it -For the whole ordeal, and all the inconvenience, etc.
