Thanks Chris enjoyed that, its nice to look back at 'firsts'

Thanks for posting that Chris. Is it only me that thinks it odd that after around 150 years of technological advancement you can get software that makes your photographs look like they did 150 years ago.

@Paul Lange it is odd but then I believe that we are long longer able to 'invent new stuff other than technology to do the old stuff quicker, and that goes for most things in life.

All good Chris and thanks, very interesting. When looking at Plate glass photos at the Plymouth Photographic archive centre , i was bowled over by the depth those images had. Yet today the digital does give
access into photography in a way that has never been seen, for better or worse.
