Thank you, Hin, for your thoughtful response. As a self taught B&W film photographer I had much fun in exploring that dynamic world. It was fun to think of developer and film and exposure combinations and where they may lead. I find the digital world less exciting perhaps because I am more mechanically inclined than electronically. This is where I find your outlook intriguing. Instead of blasting away with the shutter button; just because I can, I will imagine I am shooting film again. That may slow me down and get me to consider the image I wish to create. If I go back to some old Pentax glass that may help as well. Working the f-stop ring and slowly bringing the image into the focus I want may bring me back to earlier days. Your guidance on what you have found useful on black and white digital editing is helpful as well and I hope to have a few small successes. Thank you.
