Nightfly Astrophotography

"Film is dead". I keep hearing this from family, business associates, and even astrophotographers. As a film astrophotographer I can tell you that film is far from dead on this end. As a matter of fact, because everyone has caught the digital buzz, the unique quality of film work is being done by just a handfull of people worldwide. As long as the proper films for this type of work are available, and as long as there are processing chemicals, I will be doing film astrophotography. This is not just to uphold the tradition of film photography. Film provides quality images and in some cases is the only way to shoot a subject. No batteries, very low temperture limits, and very high quality images when employing medium format cameras. Stay tuned for more exciting images as the summer of 2009 is just getting underway. Now, if the skies will just clear.
