Many many thanks, Greg!
I like such "layer like" cloud formations very much. Unfortunately they are quite rare around her.
Cheers,
Nick

Thank you so much for the great comment, Chuck!
Indeed, it almost seems that the technical details about film are not very well known. Or perhaps the companies enforce only digital photography? I don't know.
But though I don't have anything against digital, one thing is sure: The sharpness of a film is still unreachable. The problem is much more how to get the huge amount of visual information that is stored on a film frame. This is really a hard thing. The normal prints that we get from a regular shop do not contain even one tenth of the available information captured on film. Specialists are able to get more, but it is more expensive then. Digital has the benefit of a very easy process, but you get your 15MP and that's it! The film has at least about 200MP (!) and if we were able to get that information on paper - wow!
But there is also something else that catches my attention, since it could mean that the film will re-establish a widely accepted superiority. I bought a new scanner with a very high resolution (12800x12800) which results in about 163MP. Now, when I scan not the print but directly the film frame withn this resolution, there are still no jigsaws, no visible pixelations, no problem at all. The scan time is veeery long of course, but if technology continues to improve, then we may at last be able to scan all the glorious 200MP directly out of a film frame in a short time.
I have the feeling that I should post that information and also some calculations about the huge number of MP on a film to the forum here. Would that be helpful? What do you think?
Thank you also very much for the great photo you attached!
Cheers,
Nick

Thank you very much for the lovely comment, Annemette!
It hasn't been that cold, and there was also no thunderstorm, but it looked just as if were approaching. Very very... electrified atmosphere.
Yes, there is always much to see, learn and also love in other cultures. There is also much to dislike for everybody of us, but I guess that exactly this could be used as a very rich source of open discussion in respect, and give all participants much to think about. A "fight" on the level of thought, if you wish.
Enjoy your day!
Nick

Fabulous scene. I do not think your style nor your camera/film can ever be outdone. What a lot ( or most) photographers do not know is that Digital is not as sharp as film. Even a roll of Fuji100 film from Walmart is sharper.
And, of course, digital can be used to enhance Film photos.
Thanks for your terrific comments and critiques.
Chuck

Dear Nick
A beautiful calm, coldlooking moment in Switzerland. Did a thunderstorm rise shortly after? I can see that you truly enjoyed your vacation/worktrip there:-)
Itīs important to see parts of the world, to expand oneīs personal horizon and realize that other places and cultures have plenty to offer in ways one never thought was possible.
I saw your photo just when I was about to shut down the computer, so goodnight!
All the best,
Annemette
