Taking the analogy further: What would be the equivalent of bias current, AC, DC or HX-Pro?Whenever I compare photography to music, I consider the sound of tape hiss as the equivalent of grain/film size. So Minox is comparable to a scratchy old acoustic '78, 35mm is like a cassette deck, 400 speed is like normal bias tape, 100 speed film handled with some care is like a cassette deck with Dolby. 4x5 is like reel-to-reel.
You can hear the difference in tape formats, you can see the difference in film formats...
Not making. But judging.how is making art the ultimate Dunning-Kruger test ?
Well, black and white "artistic" nude photos are porn that doesn't make money. Nothing makes you more of an artist as a photographer than taking pictures of naked girls - that's a well-known fact.
funny how the realm of photography, for people in forums, revolves around just a few names
when I was a kid I found porn mags in a hollowed out log in the woods they were't very artistic
have they changed since then?
?Not making. But judging.
Though there are big elements of judging and co-creating in both creation and “consuming”.
naa not strange at all.. what's strange is that gen z will never experience that. LOLI know it'll sound strange, but I found porn mags on a path in the woods when I was a kid. How odd....
Disparaging the talented photographers on this site by calling their work porn is not cool.
The stupider you are, the more of a cocksure expert you are at appraising and critiquing art.?
I thought the D-K idea was that the more ignorant you are at a subject you can read a little about it and think you are an expert...
what's that have to do with creating and consuming ? that no talent hacks think they are artists and people reinforce this when they buy their art?

But hardly original.Good analogy.
If you want to pretend you were offering a compliment you can do that.Making porn is a developed skill.
Colours just distraction, things are more clearer in mono.
Not just forums. From 4/6/2021:Too funny how the realm of photography, for people in forums, revolves around just a few names.
“eggleston ended the BW reign...” this is so funny.
We only know a few names.
I believe it was John Szarkowski ( of MOMA ) who said that, not anyone "recent"“eggleston ended the BW reign...” this is so funny.
I dont see that, to me the less colour the more emotion. Old Hollywood photographers were very good at emphasizing emotion in stills. These days they seem to rely on moving images to portray emotion. Picasso toned down colour in his blue period to emphasize emotion.color can more easily portrays emotion, red-anger, green-envy, yellow-lightness and happiness...
in b+w, producing an emotion/feeling for the viewer is the welcome challenge.
4x5 is like reel-to-reel.
You can hear the difference in tape formats, you can see the difference in film formats...
EXACTLY! And if you can hear the difference, there's no reason to doubt that someone might see the difference in prints.8x10 is like a two track reel to reel @ 15 ips.
If you want to pretend you were offering a compliment you can do that.
despite the fact that we are inundated with images, (daily!) - we have little appreciation for the photograph...
we are programmed to look at an image for less than 5 seconds, and decide "like it" or "no" - move on. most photographs take much more time to process, partcularly b+w..
but where do you put the accordion ?EXACTLY! And if you can hear the difference, there's no reason to doubt that someone might see the difference in prints.
do views count (instead of money) ?I wasn't. If you want photographs that sell, pay a 19-year-old girl to take off her clothes. I'm not denying it's art, but I'm not pretending people don't like looking at naked girls. There is a basic value to honesty.
