WHAT THE ...!!!

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

About the Global FlyFisher

Dear Sirs at the GFF Staff,

I'm not a Hacker or any kind of computer genius, but I was thinking there was no way to get impressed with anything I could notice while "traveling" on the Web, since...

...Since I saw the technical data below the pictures sent by the visitors of GFF. How could you do that? How could you know if the picture was taken on a determinate camera, with an specific ASA, certain diaphragm aperture, and at a determinate speed?

Well, if you tell me there is a software capable of knowing that info of the digital photographs, I can understand it, but...

... How can you do that with analog pictures taken on conventional cameras, developed and transfered to paper, and then scanned, maybe fixed on Photoshop, converted to JPEG and transmitted (encrypted) by the Web?

I don't know what technical argument are you going to tell me, I'm sure I will be still beleiving it's magic!!

Bye sorcerers!!

Carlos

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
