cruiserparts Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 ..... that "shooting digital is so much cheaper than shooting film"....... and by mostly the same people........ "the prints made from my EPSON (always newest model) super duper printer are 'better' than any 'regular' prints" (oh, and cheaper, too).....

bill_youmans Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Instamatics came with an owner's manual AND two shutter speeds?? So much for those myths! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domenico_foschi Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Henry , if you took the time to read all the threads of that post about the photographer's bill of rights , you would have noticed that i did explain some of the details . Furthermore , although it was in the years when i would inhale an occasional " sigarette" to prevent glaucoma , ,what happened to me wasn't the product of my distorted imagination .......

steve_feldman2 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hey! I thought this thread was "photographic" urban legends. Here's the one I heard long ago. One day, towards twilight, St. Ansel was out for a drive near Hernandez, New Mexico. Upon seeing the beautiful moon light peeking in and out of the clouds over the town, St. A. A. stopped his station wagon and set up his camera. Being the absent minded professor that he was, he had forgotten to bring along his light meter. So he guessed. And guessed wrong. His negs were dramatically over exposed yielding images so thin that trucks would have no trouble driving through. But, of course, the print was excellent. Any of you silverbacks there with him at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis_vener_photography Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 " Moonrise over Hernandez." <P> The "Moonrise" negative really, really sucks . i've seen it, and it is at least two stops underexposed and everyone who ever worked for Adams says it was a bitch to print, usually taking two days to get an acceptable print. If you look at several prints side by side (I have) there are significant variations from print to print , especially if yu lookat prints made at different times fro mthe 1940s through the 1970s: the earlier prints are lighter in tone and as Adams got older the skies were printed in with a heavier and heavier hand to great a more dramatic effect. <P>And no the print is not a darkroom composite.<P>Sorry to burst your bubble.

jim_galli4 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 And the value of a print would go from $XXX,000.00 to $4.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_atherton2 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 So what did they sell for at the time? I'm sure, if he were around today, St. Ansel would be very much into digital, especially printing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary_frost1 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I don't know why you people bother lugging those big cameras around. You know that you can enlarge 35mm as big as you like without any noticable loss in sharpness as long as you keep backing up to the... 'proper viewing distance'.

steve_feldman2 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Thanks Ellis. Another near myth debunked. BTW - Everyone knows that the true "Babe Magnet" is a 4x5 Crown Graphic. But you gotta wear the hat with a PRESS card in the hat band. NOT a myth. Oh, myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
