Re: [PRODIG] Architectural Location Photography using digitalcapture

lighting, color balancing, mixed lighting, exposure times, moving 
subjects...are all handled the same ,regardless of shooting digital 
or film. The issue of shadow  noise depends largely on the digital 
system and the ASA used, but take a properly exposed transparency and 
really look at the underexposed shadows and you WILL SEE noise. I use 
a Phase One on a Blad and have shot with TUG lighting down to 4-6 
seconds...yes there is noise in the underexposed shadows which is 
easily rectified in post capture processing...and enlargements of 
40X60" look great. Color balance has alot to do with the software 
presets, of which PhaseOne is great...but still I might tweak the 
color in Photoshop. As with any medium format system. however, 
parallex, distortion, key stoning, etc are of concern...but again 
fixed within photoshop. many med format backs can be used on 4X5 
camera bodies thus using the swings, and tilts to aid DOF and 
parallex issues. If you want I can email you some samples
