  1. Re: Need a nice photo of NY City skyline

    Chris,

    It will only cost you the same as a nice bottle of wine (hell, maybe even a nasty, cheap bottle of wine).

    Don't go down the road of 'if I make money out of it I'll pass the good $$ on'....

  30. Qualities of Portra 400NC vs slower film

    Murray,

    what about Astia or EPP. If EPN is still around in 8x10 it might give you an even 'smoother' or 'muted' colour palette.

    Not overly contrasty like many other chromes, and as noted most...
  31. The new Velvia versus Provia: How do they rate?

    i would have thrown up EPP as a possibility. With a light 81 series in the flatter light, it can have that wonderful pastel, subtle look.

    good luck with whatever you find.
