Recently, in October Esquire mag, I saw a photograph by Gergory Crewdson. The title was Maple Street. A google search informs me that he uses an 8x10 camera, and the picture is obviously in color. I guess what ever they are using for film is scanned as the prints are chromogenic digital or something? He also uses motion picture type lighting.
My question is, how many f-stops of light will this method accomidate? Usually a person figures paper will hold - what 7? Can anyone tell me how many stops he is getting in this night time or twilight series he did? Is there a tremendous range in these prints, or is it an illusion created by professional lighting?
