[APML] "New" image was Help: currently preferred films for presentation

["John C. Mirtle" <jmirtle@shaw.ca>]

    Holy cow Jeff! I thought for sure that I was the last of this somewhat
endangered species! I hope that he is using dry ice and not Peltier coolers,
you can't get a real cold camera shot without a little bit of frostbite! 2
things I really like about cold cameras is the fact that there is no hyper
fog, and they are pretty much immune to the effects of humidity. There are
just a few more logistical problems to sort out.
    To celebrate this event, (and the fact that I might be in fashion again)
I just tossed up a web page in record time. It is a cold camera shot from
the 1992 Texas star party of M16 under rough seeing. Yes, I trucked 6 pounds
of dry ice all the way down from Canada!
