All words can mean anything anyone wants them to "mean". If I show you a cantaloupe, you can say it is a car jack. It doesn't make cantaloupe a meaningless word.

Does a wedding photographer really need to take 7500 photos? That sounds like a monkey with a typewriter approach.
The formula for Rodinal has changed over the decades. I am not sure which formula would be deemed the "real" Rodinal.

Everyone draws the line in a different place. For some removing dandruff and cat hair on their clients jacket renders the photo fake. It's a slippery slope.
Certification from PPA is all about...
That's what happens when people say the same thing over and over again.
AI is just the latest in a long line of bogeymen. Some people are attracted to bogeymen like a moth to a flame. They just aren't happy unless the sky is falling.
Apparently? I am not sure which is worse: AI or internet misinformation and rumor.
If someone asks you if your camera is a Hasselblad, it means they don't know what brand camera you have, so you can tell them it is a Hasselblad even if it is not a Hasselblad. It is sort of a...
The question is how will AI affect your photography.
Is this press release they put out earlier this year not accurate?

angusparker used the term gift practitioner which I didn't understand. Gifted practitioner makes sense.
What are gift practitioners? Didn't Pier 24 close down earlier this year?

What are the new printing and digital display formats that have appeared recently? I am not away of any new paper sizes. Display sizes shifted to 16:9 in 1998. Are you talking about mobile device ad...
Knock yourself out.
Why are we discussing this again. All that can be said on both sides of the issue has been said ad nauseam.
Since the three cameras under consideration are in the 5-7lbs range, what would you suggest in the 3-4lbs range? I started out with a wooden Wista DX at 4lbs, but moved to a Linhof TK45 at 6.6lbs....
Yes, indeed. I am glad to hear you are living your dream! My aspirations have been much more modest. I am primarily making platinum/palladium prints from digital negatives scanned film and digital...
Yes, 20x24 is a big one. I was in a workshop with a guy who had just taken delivery of his new 20x24. The whole idea sounded great until you had to haul it around, set it up, knock it down, haul it...
I suppose that's possible. I guess a photographer could shoot 8x10, enlarge it 2x to 16x20, and then crop it to 8x10, and a viewer would be fooled, and swoon before it in a fit of contact print...
It wouldn't be the first time. I am sure someone will enlighten me. Or not.
Drew's workflow is to make enlargements. That is how he wants his work presented (to whom I don't know). Different people have different objectives with their photography. Pursue yours.
I don't think you'll get much argument around here that contact prints aren't sublime. And if you want bigger contact prints, you'll need to use bigger film. Did I miss something?
Art school poseurs?
Does anyone really want to discuss "What is art?" It will just be a replay of people blurting out the first thing that pops into their head and expecting to be taken seriously.
One alternative is to use a Sekonic for everyday metering tasks, and save the Pentax for when you are out in a blizzard when it is really needed.
I dare say many of the opponents to art and photography school have never had any formal education in art, art history, or photography. Perhaps they have never even attended a photography workshop....
I am sure the Sekonic L-858 is a fine meter if you need all that it has to offer and like the interface. Different meters appeal to different people for different reasons. Folks, we are just...
We certainly wouldn't want any unwarranted stereotypes.
I don't have difficulty moving in one plane at a time, and find making fine adjustments easier. Of course, if you are making gross adjustments, it is not the optimal tool because a leveling base does...
I second the use of a leveling base. If you set up your tripod properly, you only need to make minor adjustments. I don't remember what brand leveling base I have, but it works fine.
Yes, there are all sorts of religions. Some are unacknowledged by their adherents.
AA set up the Zone System with eight shades of grey plus black and white for a total of ten zones. The zones are one stop apart. He undoubtedly did so because large format shutters and lenses adjust...
I remember when I went to Yosemite...
It is more impressive on the ground looking up. :)
The PDR (Physician Desk Reference) is a volume which contains information about prescription drugs. It does not contain any diagnostic information about medical conditions. I searched the online PDR...
So you do all that and still have to spot your prints? Puzzling.
I clean my negative and my glass negative carrier before I make a print.
Yes, I am aware of all of those things. You have shared them with us before. You do not need to repeat yourself for my benefit. My memory is largely intact. The thing which surprises me is, even with...
I have several HEPA filters strategically located around the house in places where we breath. They are certified, but not CERTIFIED, so while they collect fine particulate matter, they do not stop...
