That still does not justify adding or deleting people or objects that change the photograph.

If the journalist cannot make the point of the article without distorting the facts on any level, then the article and all the work is not worth reading nor discussing. Nor is the magazine nor the publisher. If you lie to present your case, you are not worthy of being considered anything above...

I have never gotten bored with a lens, rather I have disliked a lens due to lack of contrast or being too close in field of view to another lens.

Finally someone gets it. Thank you. Those that refuse to take all the measures possible to get the best out of the negative are deserve whatever they get.

I got the humor. I was writing for simplicity for the reader, and not getting wordy discussing overly darkened skies.

It is true even if you cannot see the difference. The fact does not change. It makes sense to keep in the middle of the focus range and not risk any focusing problems.

Having the paper under the grain focuser put the focus in the middle of the depth of field, without the paper is it closer to one edge. Why take the risk when it only takes an instant to place the paper first? Not using the paper is just basic laziness and sloppy technique.

The short version: Polarizers take out reflections and glints, but the position relative to the Sun has an effect. Darkens skies, but with wide angle lenses it can make the sky look funny. Yellow, Orange and Red darken skies in that order. Using Red 25 too often will make you look like Ansel...

I learned something to day. Now if only I can remember it when I need to. :redface:

If I do not see it, the photographer missed it. Rarely does a photograph NEED a title but sometimes it is needed for clarification. Whatever floats your boat.

Just not true. There are many interviews with the Migrant Mother in which she complained that she never earned nor was given compensation for the photographs. Please verify your statements before posting.

Superb! I thoroughly enjoyed the New Mexico section.

Paper flatness? The weight of the grain focuser takes care of that. Plus the paper is the same paper that will be used so the color is the same.

I did purchase one of these print washers that I put in the bathtub. I have the water run gently for 30 minutes to save water.

Check with the Darkroom Doctor for parts. https://darkroomdoctor.com/ They are great people.

It is frustrating to put together a well thought out, concept based on the best engineering practices, research & development, testing, ... to have it all tossed out based on the the CEO had for breakfast or whether the spouse accommodated them the night before. Take as an example the...

The point is just because someone else did something does not mean that you should blindly do the same.

No I have not bothered to play music in the darkroom.

Just as I expected that the depth of field would take care of it. I use it with paper underneath which may not be necessary, but I think is good practice.

I post them on my walls all the time. It is a good practice.

That is why it is good to read and study diverse views and opinions. And then there are workshops, which I have found challenging and thought provoking.

Nailed it again!

Hardly jealous. How can one be jealous of someone who does not have the wherewithal to properly compose a photograph without cutting and pasting. Oh so lamebrained. Fakin' it, not makin' it ... Fakin’ It Simon & Garfunkel“Fakin' It” was one of Simon’s and Garfunkel’s single releases in 1967...

I acknowledge the practice but I do not condone it. Some of them breathed in Mercury fumes, but I will not, and you are free to do that too.

And if they jumped off ten story building you would do it too? George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, so are you going to be a slave owner too? Your argument is senseless drivel, but in your heart you know that too.

What film do you use? Use faster films. I use ISO 400 films almost all the time. The Fisheye is fun to use, but the opportunities are limited.

AF is more accurate than manual focus as long as the AF system assumes the correct subject and not the leaf or branch in the close foreground. AF is nice if you are sightseeing and want or need to keep moving rather than stay for while in a place. I use AF for 35mm and manual focus for medium...

Gregg, use it to get the photographs that you cannot move closer to get. Or maybe you are not a telly guy. I do not use the 150mm because I do not tend to take portraits and the the 150mm is too close to the 80mm and the 250mm.

After all the discussion about base versus emulsion thickness, antihalation and paper reflection, it would be nice so see some examples, discussion on the film's photographic performance, tonality, grain, sharpness, contrast, ... etc.
