agxo3,

 

Fountain Abbey

 

I lost detail outside the window on this one.

 

One benefit with digital is that with a flip of a switch, I can go from asa 100 to asa 1600 and handhold the shot.

 

Just pointing out that film still rules. Not just film but med format.

 

You could take your work to poster size. What is the largest print you made?

 

Let's see more of your work. Do you have a website?

Lex,

 

Looks like you can recover some hgihlight detail in your first Abbey shot, but not in the second.

 

The window shot is a really tough one - the range of zones is too much for digital to handle. It's hard even for color film, which has the same range (give or take) as digital. B/W can hold 15 zones, but printing them is damn near impossible. Something like this, I'd expose for the shadows I want to hold detail in then pull in by at least 2 zones in development. Even with that, you'd probably have to print on a grade 0 or 1/2......

 

I use a flatbed to scan - Epson 3200. Not bad and I can scan up to 3200 ppi even on 4x5. That would be HUGE file and I almost never do that unless I want to crop the image VERY VERY severly.

 

Next two shots were taken at Point Lobos on a cloudy day - perfect for us non-tourists. :lol:

 

I was trying to do abstracts in color. What do you think?
