If you paint with light.......... you use an enlarger.
The painting with light does not finish with the camera exposure.
Mudh more is done in the darkroom.
This is what digital removes. Yes, you can fiddle with pixels all you
like
and change iso and white balance etc but it is not light, it is binary.
Um, what's the difference between a pixel and a grain of silver? Both
are highly technical processes, and I still fail to see how one has
magic where the other does not.
I understand the feeling of people who work with computers all day that
they don't want to work with computers on their free time, but the
feeling is the same for those who work in the darkroom all day. The
darkroom is not an inherently magical place -- it is what you bring
into it. The computer is the same.
