Year before last Cotty brought a batch of photos to GFM with the
challenge to tell which were shot with film and which were shot
digitally. To make it harder the film images were scanned and printed
digitally so they were all digital prints. Now most of the folks I saw
look at them could tell mostly which were which. So much for the idea
you can't tell the difference.
And BTW all web images are small and digital it would be hard to see the
difference in them.

Yes, thank you.

If you think digital photography and Photoshop manipulation is not 'art'
take a look at the gallery of crystal 'prints' I offer on my website.
I've had some very flattering messages about them; one from a
professional photographer (he uses both film and digital) who really
knows what he's doing. He suggested some of the images resemble Miro
paintings. Personally I think most are 'run-of-the-mill' -- but one or
two are interesting. There are about half a dozen that were made on film
amongst them -- I dare anyone to say which.
