Charles_Webster 226 Posted February 14, 2006 just to show us how "really, really, really sharp" this is nice photo, even if it is super sharp Link to comment
robertfarnham 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Charles, it's more to show the detail available on an 8x10 neg. Not sure if you like sharp or don't like sharp...Me? I like sharp. Link to comment
mikeseb 0 Posted February 14, 2006 that level of resolving power is just mind-blowing. I guess you didn't handhold! :) And I second the motion for sharp! I absolutely loathe and hate artifice in all its nefarious forms--the cutesy frames around images, the calligraphic "signatures", the tilted baselines, the "artfully" unfocused or faux-finished "aged". They are visual sleight-of-hand, designed to mask the mediocrity of the images they adorn. Contrast with what we have here. Simplicity itself, technique in the service of art. Proper technique is liberating; once that is learned, as obviously Robert has, creativity can flourish unchained. End of rant. Heckuvan image, fabulous model. Link to comment
robertfarnham 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Michael, thanks for your rant!And no, no handholding...for those unfamiliar with the Cambo, it's solid steel and weighs in the neighborhood of 27 lbs/10 kg. R. Link to comment
raddatzphoto 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Look back, and lighter backround just seems to deliver more than alternate, IMO. Link to comment
