    Long time no see!

    film definitely still has a different kind of feel/look to it!

    Please share more pics with us fuwen :D

     

    Hi Blues, what digital system are u into now, still Nikon? D700?

     

    With Zeiss now releasing ZF lenses for Nikon ZE lenses for Canon, very tempting to buy the full frame DSLR, but price still too high for me to jump into a new system.

    I wonder what is the future of film in the 21st Century. Will the 20th century history of photography be remembered as the beginning of the end for film?

     

    Not likely the end for film, some of my views at http://www.fuwen.net/index.php?option=com_...d=71&Itemid=131

     

    As the big players see dropping in profit for selling film, small players find new business opportunities in selling film to even a small market segment. Well film will probably never be the main stream photography media again.

     

    As I have said I am faily sure that film will out-live me. : )

    I encountered this before for overseas purchase with VISA payment. Some of them just need further verifications for overseas buyer using VISA. A PDF or jpg copy of your identification is alright. Afterall u want to get the goods right? You have already given them your VISA. They cannot deduct your money based on IC or personal identification.

    thanks fuwen! i saw the dvd of beethoven 4 & 7 at gramophone the other day. but am presently obsessed about brahms symphony no. 4, in particular the 1st movement ....

     

    which orchestral sounds do you fancy?

     

    Hi! Do not quite understand your question. But to answer in general,

     

    I prefer DG artists very much, those good old days u also got very well photographed CD front covers (strange reason for buying a particular label, but u know I am a crazy (film) photographer.), and DG has the most good artists under their label. Recording wise DG not really the best, in fact many audiophiles consider DG recordings sometimes harsh. Decca has better recordings.

     

    I prefer European orchestras like Berlin Philharmonic and Wiener Philharmonic. To me the European orchestras are more refined, especially the woodwinds and brass. In particular the woodwinds of Berlin Phil, they are really good, despite already gone through a few generation of musicians.

     

    Recordings that I like can be found on my website and in this thread.

     

    BTW, I do not particularly like Brahms, and in general Kleiber's recordings are just about average, it is his interpretation that attracts..... lively and energetic.
