Ah yes, one of my favorite AA shots (in part because of the irony that man whose devotees worship the Zone System didn't use the Zone System for this shot - his meter broke so he guessed the exposure). I once read an article (in the New Yorker, IIRC) about Adams that mentioned that print size was an important part of his work in portraying the large subject matter he often chose. Print size *is* important. Sometimes a smaller print of the same picture really isn't the same picture. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
