| 'Mr. Zisis 2' - 1986 snake |
Recording Film. Back in the 1970’s and early 1980’s, when photographers
wanted to shoot a fast film with a high ASA rating, they used Kodak Recording
Film. The ASA rating for this film was 1000.
The benefits were a nice grainy aesthetic, as well as the ability to shoot
in low light.
Eventually, with the advent T- Max ASA 3200 film, Recording
Film was discontinued. This film was
faster and not as grainy, however, if one wanted the grainy affect, the T-Max
could be pushed up to 12,400 ASA. Now, all
of this seems kind antiquated as Photoshop can give a photograph a grainy quality
with the click of a mouse.
In the early 1990’s, when I began bow hunting, Easton
aluminum arrows were mostly available, with the Super-Slam XX-78, being the
flagship shaft. Today, there are so many
other materials available, such as carbon, or carbon and aluminum hybrids. My
choice of arrow is Grizzly Stick from Alaska Bow Hunting Company. These have a completely
tapered carbon shaft and are excellent, top-shelf arrows.
