It was film

Thanks for the kind remarks, from everybody.

I am only now learning how to take digital pix. That was a slide scanned on a Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 at 4000 dpi. I can't really tell you what film it was without cutting open the cardboard mount. About that time I was experimenting with a number of Ektachrome and Fuji E6 slide films, in the process of weening myself off Kodachrome.

One of the interesting aspects of switching to digital is the current crop of slide films is outstanding. Both the Fuji and Kodak E6 films are really outstanding. I recently shot some Provia 400X with excellent results.

The weakness of shooting slides is the scanning process. My scanner is old, obsolete, and cranky. It is so much easier to shot digital and circumvent the scanner. The cost of course it I don't have a slide to put in my carousel with my older stuff. Oh well, guess I'll learn how to project digital.
