      Fascinating. This is obviously the superior image...such gorgeous color. Were the settings on the digital shot the same or comparable to these? Could you have duplicated this with different settings and/or additional processing?

      I think that HDR processing with digital could come the closest but that is a ton of post production work and somehow, to my eye anyways, they always end up looking a bit fake.

      exif data for the digital version:

      CameraCanon EOS 60D
      Exposure0.125 sec (1/8)
      Aperturef/4.0
      Focal Length10 mm
      ISO Speed500

      The thing that gets me more than anything is the color quality of the sky in each image. Film just blows digital out of the water on this particular shot regarding cloud color and range.

      Interesting. Nicely done. Great complementary colors. This one is "better", in my opinion; especially the colors in the sky, which are richer and more complex. Now I miss having my own enlarger and darkroom.

      Great against the purple night! I like the film shot better. But they are not the same view angle. Looks like the digital was blurred a little with hand motion too. I would guess the digital had longer relative exposure too but no clue for sure....wait just saw your info above, it did. High ISO makes everything nasty too. Even so, film holds its own as a quality medium because the film version is that good!
