Yes Bob, but is it Photography, or is it Electronic manipulation.?
And Bob, Adams had a team of workers doing most of the graft for him, and remember he got where he did because he was in with the (In folk) the upper class of the time.

Alf, it's photography, but we are entering an area of semantics now. Yes, one can argue that since a computer and software is being used to produce the final image, it's electronic manipulation. However, I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to most of the images I make. Much like in a darkroom, I can control the brightness, the contrast, and burn and dodge. That is what I did with this image. So, your point is well taken, but I've no other way to display a photograph than electronically to the folks here on UHH. So, within the realm of what we do here, I took the photograph (with a digital camera). I set the camera to expose for the optimum initial capture to then be used to produce the final "print" using the techniques listed above. If you wish to call it Electronic Manipulation so be it. It's still photography.

Well when i started photography 70years ago, my first camera was a cardboard box with a pin hole in it, and a strip of black tape over the hole. does that answer your question.

Thank you for your reply Bob, sadly gone are the days of doing 90% of it by hand, but we have to live with the times.

I did that as a kid, in a photography class. Made a camera out of a card board box. I was the only student who had an image that actually came out, and it was quite good for those days. Took a picture of two neighbor kids in a back yard, and how it managed that they stayed still for ten seconds or more still amazes me. Never tried it again though. I wish I had stayed with photography instead of being off and on with it. But there is so much to learn, and there are so many great photographers out there. Some make a very good living with it, but you have to know what you are doing.

Thank you for your reply. One of the first things you learned was to get it right in the camera so that you did not wast film, and i still do that today, and that is why i do not use Photoshop and never will.

Alfie, those days aren't gone for me. I still use film, more this year than digital. I just purchased another 4x5, which is currently sitting and waiting for "The Project". That was a long term project, but the camera just happened to come along with a great price.
As for the film, I process that myself, using one of two Jobo processors, depending on format and quantity. So, I still do a good portion of the work myself.

Great to hear that, and hope you get to do it for a long time to come. i used to love doing my developing and printing as much as taking the photos, but due to health problems i can no longer do it.
Regards, Alfie.
