Still Life

I think I spoke too soon about loving my 35 mm/Ofoto/Picture Disk solution for getting images on the web. I have nice cameras and they function better as image capture devices than current digital cameras.

Nikon 995 Digital Camera Review: "Suppose that you're eating at an outdoor cafe and see an interesting picture materializing. Pull your Nikon Coolpix 995 out of its case (the camera is too large to fit in a pocket). Remove the lens cap. Twist the body so that the optical and digital viewfinders are both facing you. Turn the camera dial from Off to "A" (careful not to turn the same switch all the way to "arrow" or the camera will be in playback mode and incapable of taking a picture). Press the shutter release. Nine seconds later, the camera will take a photo. "

I can't see spending $500 for a digital point and shoot. What I would like is a more convenient way to get from the online Ofoto images to high resolution for web upload.

I'm going to try Shutterfly which charges $3.99 to develop a roll, but allows assembling the archive CD, rather than only supplying an archive of all online images.

I'm going to try the pro solution as well- shoot slides and get a PhotoCD scan at a local lab.  10:16:10 PM  permalink
