Yes, they would.
Great measure of a photographer eh?
Not really. But magnum would. You are comparing press photgraphy and street photography to fine art landscapes. The one does not = the other.
Really? Where are the negs? And drug store color negs don't count for
black and white processing experience, btw.
Heck, where is your one roll of FP4? Just for kicks.
Frankly for a person who has a handful of shots, you seem to have no
problems in thinking your are superb, I would be a tad more self
critical if I were you
Frankly, that is avoiding the question. And I have far more posted here than you, and without needing to be self critical, better than a life preserver and two shots directly into the sun.
So I have to post my own youtube video now..hmmm
No, but some concrete evidence would be sufficient.
d.) to support as a a contrradictory claim to what Ilford has made on
the curves and both my and Luttman's experience shooting in standard
developers.
I fail to see what is wrong with ilford developers, but you have
choices.
Nothing is wrong with Ilford developers. That has nothing to do with the statement.
I am saying that you don't get this groundswell of DR.
Yes. I have been posting photos from a variety of professional and
private applications shot ona range of (just) black and white film,
in a range of different soups at different dilutions,nad scanned ona
handful of different scanners. I can post more, and if I sit here
scanning I can fill a thread.
Stange you dont have all this work done...isnt it??
Strange you have none?
Where is yours. Please. I (and others here) ask for examples all the
time, and you just say you have them. Where are they?
Maybe you should learn to check the thread properly..
Are you talking about the shot that you suppose has a four stop pull? There isn't a four stop pull there. There isn't any kind of highlight detail to mention after about two stops. You took zone X to zone IX. In fact, I have seen digital cameras do about the same, more or less. Moreover, there really isn't any significant detail to actually pull backbut flat gray.
Something about barstool preaching?
Coming from a guy that made a silly comment, HP5 is Tri-X, what can
you say? Not a lot, clearly you have no idea of what you are talking
about. If you said "similar" then nobody would have kicked. Similar
is not the same.
Same sh!t. I can develop it in similar dilutions of d-76 at the same time and it doesn't hurt anything. The films have almost identical curves at minimun devlopment. Trade secrets are never trade secrets and film companies are always looking at what the others are doing and reverse engineering their products.
Kodak has their slides and negs(color) rated aboutthe same for lp/mm
on high contrast targets. Although Velvia is the highest. It doesn't
matter, though because color film grain is awful color speckles that
ruin the print.
My colour prints disagree with your limited experience of neg
film..sorry!
My experience of negative film is far from limited. I have shot more than enough rolls of the stuff, in all sorts of speeds and variants.
I am guessing your infatuation witht the scanner mum an dad bought you, lowers the threshold of quality. Eitehr that or you are too skin flint to pony up to get some slides developed.
Not much of a detective then, considering I have a link in my profile..
I know your vanity site. And frankly it doesn't speak of a vast experience with film that would lead me to believe you are doing anything but shovelling here, and waiting for this thread to end now that you have been called on the carpet.
